Kate's Preschool Party

Kate with her teacher Miss Roxi.

Today was Kate's Preschool Halloween Party. She was so excited to wear her Little Bo Peep costume. She took treats to all the kids in her class and they practiced Trick-or-Treating. Each kid got to hand out their treats as each classmate came up to them and said "trick-or-treat." Kate thought it was great!

They made "Monster Mash" which consists of:

Scritchy Scratchy Witch Fingernails - candy corn

Ooky Spooky Ghosts - mini marshmallows

Slimy Grimy Worms - gummy worms
Creepy Crawly Spider Legs - pretzel sticks

Disgusting Dirty Bugs - gummy bugs

Roly Poly Mummy Brains - chewy gobstoppers

Freaky Feely Vampire Fingers - licorice pieces

The party ended with the kids "Pumpkin Caroling" to the parents and families.

Picking out a pumpkin.

Kate's favorite song.

Little Bo Peep has lost her sheep...

I am about 99% finished with Kate's costume. I have about 1/4 of the dress left to hem. I wanted her to have a poofy slip to wear under her dress, so I went out in search of one this morning. You might be surprised, but they are harder to find than you might think. I finally found one at Little Things Mean Alot in American Fork. I also found her staff at Halloween USA.

So, even though it's not completely done, I had to make her try on the whole gettup. I think it's adorable. And of course Andie wanted to wear her "my Sheep." How could I say no? So we tried to take a couple of pictures.

Andie was not as into the whole "posing" thing as Kate.

It was too bright on the front porch.

So we tried the fireplace.

I thought this one was pretty cute.

Then we tried the back porch.

Kate is pretty excited about her costume, and can't wait to wear it to Preschool next week. I just hope Andie will keep hers on for Halloween.

My Little Lamb

Andie's Halloween costume came in the mail today. I was so excited to try it on her. She was asleep when the UPS man came, so I had to wait until she woke up for her to try it on. I think she likes it.
The booties.

Smooch! xoxoxo!

The cutest little lamb ever!

So, here's the question...for those of you who don't already know.

What is Kate going to be?

Roberta

I had a conversation with Kate today that was rather interesting. She's really been into figuring out things lately. Today it was how some people have curly hair.

Kate (K): Mom how does Chelsea's hair stay curly?

Me (Me): Her hair grows curly.

K: Will my hair ever grow curly?

Me: No, your hair will always grow straight.

K: So did she come out with curly hair?

(Translation: Was she born with curly hair?)

Me: Yep.

K: Kinda like your friend Roberta, huh?

Me: Who?

K: Roberta!

Me: You mean Aunt Maryann?

K: No, Roberta!

Me: Who's Roberta?

K: Your friend Roberta, Mom! Little Allen's mom.

Me: Oh, Roberta. Yeah. Like hers.

How could I have forgotten my friend Roberta?!? Could it be that Kate meant my friend Gerberta?!? Apparently I've had my first "Duh, mom!" moment.

And with this kid, I'm sure there are more to come!
