H is for Halloween!

Zane was eager to have a Halloween party! The kids came in their costumes and there was excitement in the air. They each took a turn to tell about their costumes.


Lily was Little Red Riding Hood with a beautiful cape.

Will was Robin Hood with a real feather in his hat.

Stella was Hermione and even had the scarf too.

Amelia was a princess with a beautiful headband made by her mother.

Ella was a witch, a GOOD witch.

Zane was a vampire but without fangs.


We colored the letter H and then created Haunted Houses with stickers. The kids had fun deciding which scary creatures were going to live in their houses.

The kids built Haunted Houses for their snacks too. Some liked the candy corn and others stuck with the chocolate chips.

Most of them thought it was strange to eat graham crackers with frosting. Am I the only mother who does this? Lily and Zane thought it was delicious.



Our shape is the triangle this week so we played Pin the Nose on the Pumpkin. They all did a good job getting the nose on the pumpkin. Will and Zane got it right in the middle. I think they may have been able to see under the blind fold. Maybe.

We sang a song about Three Little Witches and read a story about pumpkins rolling down the Hill and into the House. None of the kids liked my idea of handing out vegetables for trick-or-treating. They all want CANDY!

Happy Halloween!
