Library Halloween!

The blog entries have been few and far between since our trip to Washington and the loss of Sofia. I'm extremely behind on exciting events, ideas, and pictures. We attended two weddings since August, had a trip to Richland, WA and have put up a great club house in the backyard. Before I catch up though I have to post about our Costume Parade to the library today.

The library had a costume parade with extra exploration activities today. Zachary dressed as Buzz Lightyear which he had been asking for, for quite a while. Adelyn wore a Halloween shirt which was my back up plan knowing that she wouldn't want to wear the adorable dog costume I got last year a few days after Halloween for $3. She looked cute anyway.

We unfortunately missed the story about a monster and the name of the face parts. We began with the station to make the Monster face on a stick that went with the story. There were other entertaining activities for the kids that were very simple. They had a blast hitting a balloon tied to a string which was tied to the ceiling. They also went fishing for bats and organized pumpkins by 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.

The last thing was the exciting costume parade where they got to collect candy at different points in the library. We all brought candy to share in the mix. Many of the librarians were considerate and noticed that Adelyn did not need any of the jawbreaker type candies. I personally don't care to buy anything like that to hand out at home or anywhere.

We had a fun time with our friends Denise, Nana, and Isabella! We still miss our favorite librarian Yanira! But we know she's making other kids smile in a new library. Here's our experience below.
