The World As I See It...: Fall Harvest Parties

Last week both kids had their fall harvest parties at school. Brynn's party was first and I was able to sneak out of work for a few hours to attend. All of the kids dressed up in their costumes and then went trick or treating to the various offices in the building and to a couple of parents.

When they were done trick or treating both of the classes marched outside for a photo opp. The attempt to get 25+ kids to stand together and look at the 15+ parents that were eagerly snapping pictures was nothing short of comical.

This is just Brynn's class.

We then all marched back into the classroom where we listened to a Halloween story, played some games and ate a yummy lunch. Brynn declared that it was "the best party ever".

Get that pinata!

Next up we went to Colti's school for "Trunk-or-Treating". For some reason, we weren't able to participate last year so we had no clue what to expect for this. The general idea is that parents pull up their cars, decorate their trunks and hand out candy to all of the kids. I had no idea how seriously some people would take their decorations!

The above picture is the first car I saw when I got there. I'm not going to lie, I started to feel a little bad about my hastily bought dollar store decorations. Fortunately, I was able to team up with a friend and I think the end result was not too shabby. It's kind of hard to see but we had cobwebs and pumpkin garland hanging from the top too.

There were a ton of kids there and they all had a blast "trunk-or-treating" and running around the parking lot in their costumes. Thank goodness Grammie and Grampie were able to come help out because it was crazy...and so much fun!
