Carter's Fall Party

As room moms for Carter's class, Lauren and I got to organize the fall party that was today.  Ms. Denise didn't really have any direction for us - she didn't care when we did it or what we did.  We ended up doing a morning party from 9:30 to 10 am.  We had planned on doing breakfast, a craft, and game.  Unfortunately we didn't factor in enough time for things like washing hands and very slow eaters so we only had time for food and the game before the kids had to go to library.

Last night I made a "Pin the Nose on the Pumpkin" game.

When we went to Lucky Ladd Farms this weekend, I picked up a dozen small pumpkins for the kids to decorate as the craft (Lauren bought a bunch of fall stickers).

Since we ran out of time for those, we sent them and the stickers home with the kids to decorate later.

That probably worked out fine since we didn't realize the kids had painted similar pumpkins earlier in the week that they brought home today!

We did an online signup and had the other parents in the class bring in the food and plates/napkins.  Lauren also brought Munchkin doughnuts which were a huge hit!

Campbell and Carter ...

Pin the Nose on the Pumpkin was a hit.  I heard several "this game is so much fun!"

Here is Sophie (Lauren's daughter) pinning her nose ...

And Carter doing his (he had one of the closest ones) ...

I had fun getting to be in Carter's classroom (this was the first time I've ever gotten to volunteer - they keep the parents pretty much out of the rooms at our preschool).  And Carter was super excited that I was there (which was really cool).
