MommyOf1plus2plus1: Preschool Halloween Day

So, even though the twins attend a preschool that is through Parks and Rec, I guess there is a bit more freedom in what they observe, compared to the public schools, and today the kids had their Halloween party and then went on parade at the neighboring nursing home. Harrison had a half day since it is Wednesday and they were very welcoming to siblings, so Harrison and Millie got to participate in all of the events of the day (and Mommy too!)

We started out having play time at school, then a potluck lunch for everyone. A couple parents stayed for the festivities, most of the kids were in costume. My boys decided they did not want to be in costume, but I brought Nicks just in case he changed his mind, which he did later. Harrison also did later but I had not brought his costume, so he was out of luck, or so I thought. Seeing as we were in a preschool room, there was plenty of dress up items in the room so he got to borrow the police uniform for our parade to the nursing home.

The home is immediately next door, so we just walked over. It was really nice to see the residents light up when all the kids walked up to them. Nicholas became Mr Social and loved walking into rooms and saying "Happy Halloween" which was a total surprise to me! Abby was more apt to stay in the group of kids and do as they did. She did get pulled aside by one resident and hugged for a few minutes while the resident talked to her. Abby did very well and was fine with it. All in all the kids did very well!

A few pictures, I am just putting the ones in that mainly contain my kids as I don't want to post pictures of other peoples kiddos with out their permission!

We just have the Harvest Party for Harrison's class on Friday and then trick or treating, then we are officially DONE!
