Will's class earned their first "marble jar" party for good behavior. The kids watched movies, did crafts, decorated pumpkins and came outside for fun class photos.
Henry's Halloween party started with a parade around the school. Henry was a sweet dragon.
Then it was back to the classroom for a story, craft and snacks. These are the pumpkins the class carved on Tuesday. Henry's group did the one on the left. Notice that it has one square eye and one round eye.
Another mom and I were in charge of the Halloween party. We read Go Away, Big Green Monster by Ed Emberly and then the kids made their own big green monsters. Henry's does not look scary at all!
We figured that the kids would load up on sugar later in the day, so we opted for healthy treats: pumpkin muffins, fruit skewers and cheese and crackers. It was such a fun party!
Daddy came home early to help the boys carve pumpkins. First, though, they had to draw their jack-o'-lantern faces on paper.
Will loved scooping out the pumpkin.
Henry preferred watching the action and keeping his hands clean.
Weezie the Halloween cat was very curious about the pumpkin carving and especially the big bowl of gooey pumpkin innards.
These are our finished pumpkins! Henry's is on the left. Notice that it has one triangle eye and one square eye and no nose.
Gene is the master pumpkin carver.
My boys posed with their pumpkins.
All ready for trick-or-treaters!
After dinner, it was time to get in costume. It turns out that Gene is not only good at carving pumpkins, but he is also very good at face painting!
Both boys wanted to be something scary this year, so Will was Darth Vader and Henry was a dragon.
Gene was Obi-Dad Kenobi again.
I hope you had a spook-tacular Halloween!
