Way back in September, Abby and I talked about having a few of her friends over for a Halloween Craft "Party," but October was WAY too busy! So, we tabled it until this month, and billed it as a Fall Craft Day. You'll see below, fun was had by all (well, maybe except for me at certain times ... when the SIX children in my charge were driving me crazy!) Truthfully, we did have a good time experimenting with food and paper crafts ... and playing outside in the beautiful fall weather! Next week, we're entertaining a couple of Tyler's friends (one-on-0ne this time!) - maybe we'll get the scarecrow assembled then. We didn't quite get to it today.
For snack, we made (and ate parts of) a Thanksgiving "Blessing" Snack Mix. I'll post pictures of the mix, as well as the recipe ... and the cute cornucopia holders later. But, here are the kids making their "Native American" (Mary Leah corrected me on this one when I said they were Indian) headbands. See Grammy - those fall leave stickers you gave us came in handy!
Oh, and so did your glasses from the 90s ... AGAIN!
I mean it, they are one of the favorite dress-up items around here. When the girls put together a fashion show, Nya's theme was entertaining. She cracked us all up - especially when she tried to walk around in the bug-eyed prescription glasses!
Lucy found the remnants of last week's "Swine Flu" Halloween costume. Unfortunately, Lucy twisted her ankle on the trampoline and had to leave our fall playdate slightly early (but don't worry - she's doing better!)
Mary Leah is a hoot. I'm not sure what look she was trying to pull off.
Oh Anabelle! That girl can pull off the pink rockstar look better than anyone I know!
Abby, the fairy ballerina.
And, the whole crew (notice Tyler, the super-pirate down in the bottom right hand corner ... he was SO patient with the girls today!) posing at the end of their fashion show. You can just picture the energy in the room, so after this ... we headed outside!
They jumped themselves silly on the trampoline, then we made Turkey Cupcakes (they LOOK like turkeys ... not taste like them!)
After the playdate was over, Abby and Tyler were just coated in dirt (or is that chocolate on their faces), but they modeled their Native American headbands for me before they hit the bath!
Happy Fall Y'All!

Ouch! Poor Lucy...glad she's doing much better. That looked to be a really fun day -- crafts, dress-up and playing outside on a nice fall day. I'm glad Nya choose my "antique" glasses to wear. She knows style when she sees it! Tyler -- you're a real trooper.
