Happy Halloween

During school time we planned a trick-or-treat so we could all go together as a class!




I loved all the colorful costumes!








We then went to see the neighbor's horses. Hh, for horse and Halloween!






For lunch we made mummy, cat, and spider pizzas!






Our costumes: chicken, pirate, lady love bug, and ski bum.






We then went to the church party where I helped out with a few games. We did pop the pumpkin!
I loved the idea from Martha, but did it with less 
materials and guess what, it worked great!!
Inside each balloon was confetti, candy, a spooky pin, or a prize winning ticket. Then we put the balloons up with duck tape. (After 4 hours it didn't look as nice as when we first put it up)








The classic fishing pond. 






I love this one of the lady love bug with all the confetti in the background!





 Munching on a few pieces of candy! (This same little boy had a headache and wasn't feeling well just 1 hour previous. I guess that's the power of a party and some candy.)







We went door-to-door trick or treating after the party and had a great time!







The counting of the loot!



*********************************

Then on Sunday we had a party to celebrate my friend's birthday. So obviously it was Halloween themed....



My husband Eli and I got a little excited about decorations food.







I loved these labels for our drinks!







I usually don't talk about how artsy and crafty my husband is, mainly because I like to think I have better ideas than his :) but these fun spiders were all his idea. (oh also the mice on the cheese and the silhouette pictures)







The birthday girl filling up her cup with some Black Death Tonic. (aka root beer)







Then it was time for some apple bobbing.







The dry ice inside the warm water was a weird sensory experience!







It was so weird in fact that I couldn't stop laughing about it!


We had a wonderful Halloween weekend!

h the horse

Last Tuesday I had the grand opening party for "School Time Adventures Preschool". The theme was h the horse and I was really excited for all the activities.. a red stable, hay in the shape of H, a horse in the shape of h, and an obstacle course built for the kids to go through. For snacks we had carrots, apples, and a sugar treat (I don't make those too often) of butterscotch haystacks.

I was really excited until 30 mins before the party was to start it began to rain...so the obstacle course was canceled and we moved the party into the garage.

The h the horse was really fun to do.......


I thought you all might enjoy the one River did....not the one I did!




I cut out pieces for the h from black poster board, 
the mane, hoofs, and tail were from white poster board, 
and the red poster board was for the mouth, plus google eyes.

I should have taken a picture of all the wonderful variations of h the horse the 4 children 
made because they all turned out different, the way I like art projects to go! 



Here are some other pics from that day:

This was the start of the obstacle course...


2 hula hoops to jump in, and then a structure to crawl under
the ice chest is to crawl over and in the middle of the cardboard I drew lines to make a balance beam



These were boxes made for planting potatoes..I used them to jump in and out of,
or to weave around



the 2 hula hoops to jump through and a somersault on the crash pad
(we use it for rock climbing but I thought it worked well for preschoolers to somersault on)
the straw was the final destination to grab in order to make the H for hay.




River at the front door of "School Time Adventures"



You can see the blue retro school chairs, the cranberry colored box covers I made, 
and the black table my husband painted. (The light blue rack will be our cubbies for now).
