Preschool Halloween Party

I was blessed with the task of organizing Jaxon's Halloween party for his preschool class. Halloween is, by far, not my favorite holiday; something about grown people dressing as weird, bloody zombie-looking things and ringing my doorbell on October 31 has somehow ruined the kids-in-adorable-costumes-parading-through-the-neighborhood-together part. But, I was thrilled to help with his party and spend some extra time with my little guy.

We played Pin the Nose on the Jack-O-Lantern, the kids made an adorable spider craft, we read a fun story about a monster, they decorated their own cupcakes for snack and we finished with a game of "Hot (Potato) Pumpkin". It was awesome seeing Jax in his element, interacting with his friends.


Enjoying his plain cupcake - no frosting, no sprinkles - he cannot be my kid! I wanted to take his little bowl of orange frosting and eat it myself, but figured that would be inappropriate.


Friends from preschool enjoying snack.


And more friends.


And some more - there's his buddy, Griffin all the way to the right.


There are only 5 girls in his class (and 10 boys), pray for his teachers.


Sissy came to the party with me and she was perfect. They had one extra chair during snack, so she found her way to it and decorated her cupcake like a pro - now she I can claim!
