Halloween Parties!

Today I had the pleasure of attending not one, but two Halloween party's! First up, Lacey's party. They played games, decorated their candy buckets, stamped and colored pictures. Then it was time for the grand finale of the party...trick or treating! Lacey had lots of fun getting the candy. She was, however, NOT happy about the fact that she was only allowed one piece of candy! This really upset her. She finally got over her frustration of only being allowed one piece and then it was time for me to go back to work. This did NOT go over well at all. The good news is she took a great nap and was in a great mood when I picked her up!

Her and another little girl in her class were both Minnie Mouse. There were 2 Minnies, a Mickey, a Firefighter, and a Frog. They were all super cute in their costumes.
Then it was time for Kylie's party. They also had a parade of costumes, they had an afternoon snack that included: fruit, vegetables, cheese & crackers, and cookies; made finger puppets; played musical chairs; and freeze dance. They had a ton of fun. My personal favorite part was watching them play freeze dance, something about watching little kids dance just makes me smile. They are so carefree!
There are only four girls in her class, there were 2 witches, a spiderwick princess, and a ballerina. I remember there being two warewoves, Obi-Wan Kenobi, a vampire, two skeletons, thomas the train, and Darth Vader. Lots of interesting costumes!

Great times were had by all...including Mommy :)

Lacey's Field Trip

Yesterday Lacey's daycare went on a field trip to the pumpkin patch. Lacey was so excited that when we left the parking lot at daycare she started crying 'go to punkin patch, go to punkin patch' she didn't realize that is where we were going.

The first thing they let her group do was jump on the Jumping Pillow. I have to admit I was a bit taken aback since there is sand everywhere and it was in the 40s...all the kids were bundled up, and now you want me to take off their shoes??? I did take Lacey's off and let her jump (obviously) and she had a blast!
Then it was time to take a hayride to pick the perfect pumpkin. Lacey chose the first one she walked up to, and I for one, think she did find that perfect pumpkin. She is very proud of her pumpkin and reminds all of us who's pumpkin it is.
After the hayride they walked through a corn maze and did a scavanger hunt to find all the animals they could. Lacey's class of two year olds did a great job! They also got to look at the animals, which Lacey loved.
Then it was time for the cow train and sliding into the corn pit. All of the children had a great time and I'm sure most if not all were wore out by the time they got back to school. Lacey took a well needed nap!
