Halloween Fun





















Today was the day that we celebrated a little Halloween Fun at the house with my babysitting kids. They started off putting spooky stickers on their glow in the dark foam mats. When everyone was finished with that craft we immediately opened the top of a pumpkin and the kids cleaned it out. It amazed me at how eager they were with getting their little hands in the gooey pumpkin. Fallyn was the only one hesitant at first. Once she used a spoon and realized she didn't have to touch it she was just as willing.

While I cleaned up the pumpkin mess, sorted some seeds to clean, and slap on a fast 5 minute face on him, the kids got to watch a special "Dora's Halloween" dvd that Fallyn brought over to share. She was very excited to play her special movie before lunch.

It was a nice afternoon. After nap the kids were surprised to see that I baked them some Halloween pumpkin cookies and the pumpkin seeds were done. I didn't expect them to like the seeds but they gobbled them ALL up as part of their snack!! Next time I will have to bake more!

Thanks for the fun day kiddos!!! I love watching you guys do things for the first time! Bella we missed you here...but we painted your name on the pumpkin and saved you a treat bag and Elmo Halloween coloring book. We can't wait to see you at your party Thursday! XOXO
