Halloween Play Date (Friends, Food and Crafts!)

Friday morning, I had a Halloween play date for my girl. I invited her friends: Laney, Halee, Mary Lin, Emilija and Maisie (sadly, Chani and Sophia could not make it). I had all the toys ready in the family room, the crafts ready on the table and lunch ready in the fridge (and all the mamas brought food for our lunch as well). What a fun time we had!

Here is the table set up for the girls - construction paper, glue sticks and crayons ready to go...

The guests arrived and started playing feverishly...

Me and my girl...

Halee and Laney sporting Ms. Potato Head glasses...

Briana joining in on the fun...

The girls are making a "haunted house." I had all the pieces ready to be glued on to the paper and an example taped up on the wall. I totally made up the craft myself! I'm so proud of me. :) They all did a great job!

Mary Lin and Briana (taken by Lisa S.)...

Here is Briana's finished product...

And Maisie's creation...

After all the craftiness, it was time for lunch. Here are my pb&j's for the girls...

And look at Angela's creation! It is too stinkin' cute!!!

Mmmm, lunch...

Mary Lin and Emi seemed to like it!

After lunch, Maisie and Briana started playing on this computer together...

Lots of giggles ensued!!! (Taken by Lisa S.)...

All the girls (and mamas) seemed to have a really great time. And for fun, I took some before and after pictures of my house. Here is the before...

And after...

And seriously by 3PM, I had it looking like this again. I know, I'm a total rock star. ;)

Can't wait to see you again in a few weeks at lunch!

Fun, food, crafts and friends! What a perfect combination! The sheer mess of toys shows what fun everyone had! :o) Adorable veggie skeleton!

Can Hannah and I come play next year? ;o)

It's wonderful that Briana has such an awesome mommy and such a great group of friends too!

You ARE a total rock star. And I love the picture of Briana sporting the Mr. Potato Head glasses. The Tongginator would call that "a fierce look."
