October 30, 2008

What is this fine looking group doing standing around on a breezy 30 degree morning?

Waiting for the Halloween parade!

Here are two videos of the parade:


You can tell we parents were pretty hepped up over the whole thing.

From left to right: Teagan, Ashlyn, Anu, Joseph, Allie, Zoe, Andrew, Grace, Charlie, Anna and Sam.


How to make an owl costume: start with a vampire's cape and a ninja's hood, and stitch to those a couple of black feather boas. Sew ties into the cape to attach to the wrists of a girl so that she can flap her wings. Finish with some Harry Potter glasses. Grace was so happy to be a little black owl -- no other color was acceptable to her, I don't know where she gets her ideas.

These girls are ready to tackle some games!

Chatting with other parents.

Andrew comes along to join in.

Suki looks at the bowling ball.


Suki checks out the bowling game again.

Dad rocks Kate to sleep.

I couldn't believe it was possible in this frigid air, but he did an amazing job with it.

Mom and Smile the Owl.

Miss Caroline explains the beanbag toss to Grace.

Grace had a great time with all the games here today.

Except the bones croquet. She did not like the singing ghost at the end. Miss Colleen has a look on her face like she's seen this contrary canary before :)

Everyone there just loves Grace, though -- it's nice to see them so accepting of who she is.

No croquet!


Suki just loved this playground at Grace's preschool.

Fishing for jack o'lanterns.
Triumphant!


Riding the fire engine with Abby.

Grace and Sook ride the fire engine.



Three family portraits. I just love these.

Suki leaves the party site.

My little owl.


Off to the car! What a fun party day.
