Fall Parties

Hands down, one of the kids' favorite party at our little preschool is the Fall/Brown Party.  We pop popcorn, make beaded necklaces, paint faces, and play lots of fun games.  Evan, Payton, and Addi loved their Fall/Brown parties when they attended.  Karsyn couldn't wait for ours.  If you can believe it, I left home without my camera.  I was very upset with myself.  A kind friend of mine sent me this adorable picture of our girls with their painted faces.  I just love it!

The next day, we had Round 2 of parties.  I made sure to bring my camera.  I also brought Addi and Payton to school with me in the morning.  (They didn't get to stay.  Grandma Shirley and Grandpa James came by to take them to their school.)  I quickly put Payton to work.  She helped cut out pictures for my students' thankful collages.

Pay and Karsyn

A teacher in the making, maybe?

Addi really wanted to stay, but she had a party of her own to get to.  Her kindergarten class was having a Thanksgiving feast.  Here she is wearing her little turkey outfit.  (Her little lips are super chapped.)

Addi's class worked really hard the day before to prepare a Thanksgiving feast.  Addi's teacher posted a picture of the desserts they made.  Aren't these turkeys way too cute?

I really, really, REALLY wanted to go to Addi's party, but we had a major time conflict.  Two parties at two different schools meant that I wasn't able to attend. I was so glad that Grandma Beverly got to go with Addi.  They were both were super happy about that.  Grandma sent us this cute picture.  Love it!

Our class party got underway and we had a lot of fun.  Much to my surprise, I am horrible at painting faces....alright, it wasn't really a surprise. ha! Karsyn looks adorable despite my lack of skills.  We let the kiddos pick which "native" symbols they wanted.

When I see this picture, I can't help but think that Karsyn has the same mouth as Nana and Aunt Becky. =) 

School parties are always so much fun!  The kiddos and I have next week off.  That means, we only have 3 weeks of school until Christmas Break!!!!!  This year is going by so fast! Now, here's a little thankful collage of my own.  Payton and Karsyn were both in the three year-old program at the time of their pictures.  Evan and Addi were both in the four year-old program.

I am so thankful for these kiddos!
