Preschool Halloween Party

Today was our preschool party and I taught the lesson. The kids were so fun. We did the pumpkin craft that I practiced with the kids last week and they all liked it, especially the eating part. We also made pumpkin garland. I thought the kids would be able to cut their own circles out of orange paper and didn't count on how long it would take to staple the pumpkins to their ribbon, but it still all worked out in the end. They had fun with the crafts and then the last 20 minutes was the very best part. The moms all arrived a few minutes early for pick up and we got the kids changed into their costumes. Each child brought six pieces of candy and got to pass them out. All the kids waited on the main floor while the chosen child carefully selected their door to hide behind. Then they would yell ready and the other kids (including Maddie Mae) would run up or down the stairs to knock on the door and yell trick-or-treat. They got to pass out the candy and then switch to go trick-or-treat at another door with another kid. They thought it was fantastic!! Overall, a pretty good day. I know my two kids thought it was super fun to trick-or-treat in the house. This is the happy bunch: Lindsey (Snow White), Ben (Dino the Dinosaur), Hugh (Darth Vader), Wade (Iron Man) and Ella (Minnie Mouse).
