Girls Rule!!!

Here's Katelyn welcoming Abby to her first "Girls Only Halloween Party!"

Once again, the Girls Only Halloween Party was a hit! As usual, we made several crafts. This year, we made modge-podge jars. We used canning jars and the girls glued tissue paper on them to create either a pumpkin, ghost, or black cat. (I'd like to send a big thanks to Ms. Irene for supplying the jars. They were perfect and we can't wait to make some more for Christmas. We'll gladly take more jars!!!) We also made Halloween cards and decorated a pumpkin using foam cut outs.

This year, the weather put a damper on our usually festive neighborhood parade. The skies threatened all day and we thought we simply wouldn't be able to go outside at all. However, we were able to quickly parade down about half the block but had to make a quick return as the rain was approaching. Thankfully, we made it back inside because the heavy rain began about 10 minutes later!

As usual, we enjoyed some tasty treats. Aunt Robyn supplied the pumpkin cupcakes!

I think the best part for the girls was getting to play together. Since they couldn't go outside, they had time to play in the playroom, dressing up and having fun. They also went downstairs to play in the playhouse. Once they officially put on their costumes, they conducted a fashion show down the stairs so we could check out each one of them. Below is the group photo following the parade. As you can see, we managed to get everyone in!

As always, we can't wait for next year!!!
