So most of this week was devoted to getting ready for Danny's school Halloween Party. Monika and I had decided on having the kids do two craft projects, one being a pumpkin magnet and another being a scarecrow. I had earlier gotten the pumpkin pieces cut out, but I was amazed at how long it took us to get the scarecrow parts cut out and certain sections preassembled.
On the Friday before Halloween, the school had the party in the morning, as some children like Danny leave at 1:30 and others stay until 3:30. The teachers and staff had decorated the preschool, and many of the parents dressed up in costumes along with their children. Danny was so excited to go as Spiderman this year. He is really into dressing up as superheros right now, so this was the perfect costume.
The party went extremely well, and there were a lot of parents that stayed to help and to also take great pictures of the kids. We started out with a song about going apple picking and then gave each child a variation on a carmel apple for them to try. We did our story about fall festivals (not sure how many children except those from the midwest, which there are a couple, followed this concept) which gave us our segway and explanation of a scarecrow and then we had them start on this craft. They were all excited about it and they turned out really cute. After that, we did the pumpkin craft and then went around the clubhouse (the preschool is located within our clubhouse) for trick-or-treating/showing off the costumes to the staff of the clubhouse.
Overall it was a great day, but by the end I was exhausted. We had a relaxed rest of the day and looked forward to taking the kids around tomorrow.
