Halloween Party

Our moms group had a Halloween Party which Heather hosted.I wasn't sure Kelsie was going to participate, because as soon as she saw that more than just Sophia was there she said she didn't want to go! :( We finally convinced her to at least go for a little while and she did participate in some of the activities. Heather and I had come up with some ideas for things for the kids to feel. For example she reached into a pumpkin to pull out some plastic lizards and she reached into a bowl full of cooked "brains and eyeballs" (spaghetti and peeled grapes). She seemed to get a kick out of those!

When it was time to eat she insisted on going home to eat. I really think she expects it to just be her, Sophia, and maybe Nick when she goes to Sophia's house. The thought of eating with everyone there was a little too much. However she jumped right into trick or treating with all the kids. We went to our neighbor's house, our house, and Heather's house. The kids were super excited to practice trick or treating and they all did great! On the way back into Heather's house they all discovered a dead worm and of course they all had to investigate.

We then went back in and the kids ate some candy and little snack cakes. Once that was over Kelsie was ready to leave again, so we went outside and played in our driveway. Sophia came out too and eventually a couple of other kids came out too. Although Kelsie wasn't too into a lot of it the party still turned out to be really fun. I hope we can do it again next year!
