Halloween Festivities

We've got a big weekend planned (again). On Friday morning we're going to the Rec Center for a Halloween Parade. I think the format goes like this: open play for 1/2 hour, snack and craft for 1/2 hour and then a trick-or-treating parade from the Rec Center to the Library. Fun fun.

Sophia's got a parade at school at 12:45 and then a special Halloween party. All of the food at the party will be orange in honor of the holiday. Sophia's bringing Cheetos and Halloween cupcakes that we made/decorated today. She's also giving the three other children a treat bag filled with candy and goodies.

I'm not sure what her costume is going to be for these two parades. If it's nice she wear her hula outfit or maybe her ballerina outfit. I'm leaning toward the ballerina outfit, but we'll see what she wants to be. (Probably a princess)... The best thing about Friday is that Will is going to stay home from work so he can come with us.

On Saturday we're having a Halloween party at our house. We will have a total of 24 people - 12 kids (all ages) and 12 adults. I've got some fun games planned for the kiddos. I put up cobwebs and different types of pumpkins all over the house. It looks very festive and Sophia is beside herself with excitement. The fun starts at 3 and then we're going to go trick-or-treating around the neighborhood together.

On Sunday we're going to Zoo Boo at, guess where, the Zoo. We've gone in the past and it's been really fun. Tons of vendors will be there handing out candy and trying to get us parents to sign our kids up for various classes. We'll pass, thank you. We've got enough activities already. This will be an extra special visit to the Zoo because Sophia just finished a month of studying zoo and jungle animals at school. A visit to the Zoo is just what the "teacher" ordered.
