Our first Preschool Halloween
Thursday Lily took in some small treat bags with cookies and Oreo cookie pops. Friday we returned for the big party day.
All the kids wore their costumes and at around 9am all came outside into a grassy area near the front door. I was amazed to see all the parents lining the sidewalk with cameras and camcorders in hand. Once all of the kids were outside we were welcomed and they did some songs with the Spanish teacher and the music teacher. Lily finally got into the action by shaking her bum to "Monster Mash".
After the show was over the kids went Trunk or Treating. I signed up to be a trunk and again was very surprised to see how much the other trunks were decorated. I definitely will have to step up my game next year. But, luckily I had the cutest pumpkin decoration there! It was quite something to have one hand on her to make sure she didn't throw herself out of the trunk and hold a basket full of candy.
The kids going Trunk or Treating with their decorated bags they did in school. Since I had to be with the trunk Lily went around with her class and teacher. She of course seemed timid when she came by but went with the flow best she could. I'm sure all of this new stuff was confusing and intimidating to say the least.
But by the end she was all smiles. Once she figured out she got candy and was able to come home she had a great time.
She had a lot of fun going through her candy bag once we got home. I'm pretty sure she went through it, put it back in the bag only to go through it again at least a dozen times. This would all be fine and dandy if she didn't do this all the while asking me what each piece of candy was called. I think by the time I had to explain what Nerds, Sweettarts and Fruit by the Foot were for the fifth time I was ready to just throw it all out.
Gotta love Halloween!
