Two Black-Eyed Peas and a Party

When it comes to school costumes, you might say that I am a creature of habit. But I absolutely love the "Black-Eyed Pea" costume, especially for little kids. So of course when it came time for Audrey and Claire to get dressed in costume for school, they were "Black-Eyed Peas".

Audrey did not have a school party - public schools do not seem to have any parties now, which is completely different than when I was in public school. But that is a topic for another blog. So Audrey didn't have a party, but Claire did at her preschool. The children paraded through the school on a costume parade.

After the costume parade, the children headed to the pumpkin patch for story time with Mrs. Elizabeth.

Then it was back inside (to the nice air conditioning!) for games, pumpkin decorating, cookies and a Halloween movie - "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" - one of my favorites.

Claire really enjoyed her first school party! Sweet Memories! :)
