Tanner's Preschool Halloween Party!!!

OH MY GOODNESS! I love making the boys' Halloween costumes and then seeing them dressed up in them!!! This year was another cute success! Tanner made a fabulous Dracula and Troy couldn't have made a cuter pirate! Tanner's Dracula hair turned out great too! I was so worried that as soon as he saw it, he would want me to take it off before going to school. He cried and whined through the whole process of me spraying it on, but when I finished and he looked in the mirror he started laughing to the point of tears coming from his eyes!! He LOVED it!! He could not wait to get to school and show everyone! What a relief that was for me!

My goodie boxes for Tanner's class turned out WAY cute! I was very excited to take them to all the kids! The girls had bows put onto their boxes just so everyone would know that it was specifically for a girl!

Tanner's favorite was the mummy, but I think I liked the Frankenstein the best!

I really love doing my crafts!

Each of the kids' boxes held a caramel apple! I bought the tiny apples so they were perfect for little hands and mouths! They not only had nuts on them, but they also had a few sprinkles of ghosts, pumpkins and bats!

Our Little Dracula and Pirate!

He even had a little patch on his bum!

I love Tanner's side burns! Hahaha

Tanner made me get all teary eyed as I was taking him to school. He told me, "Mom, I love my Dracula costume! I'm so proud to wear it!" Just typing that all over again, makes me want to cry. He is such a sweet boy... when he wants to be! I love him so much!!!

Below is a picture of Tanner's friend, Ethan. Just about everyday I hear of what him and Ethan did that day at school. I got to talking with Ethan's mom today at the Halloween party and she told me that Ethan is always telling her of stories of what him and Tanner did that day at school! They're definitely little buddies!

The characters that came to Tanner's class:

• Luke Skywalker: Ethan
• Batman: Aiden
• A Ninja Turtle: Kamika
• Ariel, The Little Mermaid: Kamryn
• A Witch: Halle
• Buzz Lightyear: Allie
• Dracula: Tanner
• SuperGirl: Emily
• A Ninja Turtle: Henry
• And Little Caleb wasn't able to make it 

Ms. Pam

Troy had a great time seeing all of the kids in their costumes and playing with the classroom's toys! His favorite costume was Henry's Ninja Turtle. Poor Henry didn't know what to do when Troy was slapping is turtle shell and trying to grab his mask!

Tanner showing his costume to the class!

Finally! The time came for everybody to pass out their treats! Yum!

Our future little school boy!!

Story Time

I had an absolute blast being Room Mom today! I was a little worried that Tanner would act out because I was going to be there with him, but I was amazed at how polite, kind, and outgoing he was! I'm so glad he's inherited his dad's goofiness! I sure wasn't like him when I was little. At the end of the day, the kids had story time (reading a pumpkin and black cat book), sang a couple Halloween songs, and finally a little parade around the classroom for all the parents to see everyone dressed up. Of course, by the end of the day Tanner's hair paint had smeared all over his hands and face and with all their activity he'd already ripped the sides of his vest. Oh well.. surprisingly, I wasn't stressed about it. I got plenty of pictures of the boys dressed up together. I was so excited to see them in their costumes! Tanner came home with a bag full of candy and plenty of happy memories! Now, if I can just keep him from eating too much candy before dinner!
