Nursery School Parade

Emily's nursery school had their Halloween Parade for the parents this morning. Emily came out at the back of the class holding one of her teacher's hands. The kids you see walking around in the pictures are the kids in the 2.5 year old class. The teachers were all dressed as ice cream cones and had their work cut out for them wrangling the kids and keeping them all from running straight to their parents! They did several loops around the yard, the first one Emily looked at me, the second one she ran over and gave me a hug, the third one she wouldn't leave my side! I walked her back and left her with her class after they finished that loop! They sang a Halloween song a couple of times. In reality, the 4 teachers sang the song and the kids just stood there. But it was cute! Emily loved the party afterwards and came home rather wound up! Our contribution to the party was ghost plates and Emily brought home lots of goodies after school. The parents did a great job not sending in a ton of candy, so I was quite pleased. Emily got a pumpkin cup and pumpkin straw which she really, really liked. She drank a cup of water out of it when she got home and then had her milk in it for lunchtime. It's certainly fun that she is "into" Halloween this year. We'll take her trick or treating to a few neighborhood houses tomorrow night.
