Hayden's Halloween Party

Friday was Hayden's party at school and you have to sign up for the parties in order to attend, but I have some connections and kind of showed up late and went up to sneak a few pictures and ended up staying for the remainder of the party.  Hayden didn't even know I was there until I snuck a kiss from behind and of course her face lit up.  Gracie went too, Colton stayed with Mimi and Aunt Vickie...he was sleeping when we got there and you never wake a sleeping baby.Right?   They had a very organized party this year and it was so much fun.  They played Halloween Bingo, which Hayden really enjoyed.  They had a bowling game which one of the classmates played the whole time I was there, the other Moms had to make him try some of the other activities.  Last they had pumpkin painting with lots and lots of paint and glitter!  They even let Gracie paint, I felt bad because it wasn't her party but they all assured me they had plenty of little pumpkins.  Then after all of that fun, we went to the playground for a relay race, they had to completely dress in a costume pants and shirt and then run to the tree and back, oh and did I mention that it was girls against boys?  Let me just say that Hayden and the girls are much more competitive than the boys.  Hayden was first and she really was going fast, she was dressed and already running before Michael got his pants on!!!  They were all cheering her on, it was so funny and she was so proud of herself!  By the time they got to the end they were just throwing the shirt around their necks and running, it was a little complicated the other way but it was so funny.   After all of the fun they were all free to just play on the playground,  Hayden stayed on the Monkey Bars and Gracie went down the slide about 100 times.  In fact,  when I told them it was time to go they both wanted to stay.  I really enjoyed talking to the other Moms and her teachers, it was one of the best school parties I have been too ever. 


They could dress up Friday, Hayden went as a cheerleader, I figured she would be much more comfortable than a Princess Dress.  Gracie had to be like her big sister so she was a cheerleader too!
