Halloween and costume party
Today we attended the La Habra Moms Club Children’s Halloween and costume party at Vista Del Valle park. I did most of the planning for the party. My friend Angela did the decorations and my friend Corrie helped me plan the party as well as do some of the activities during the party.
The girls dressed in the bug costumes. They were so cute, but Miranda kept tripping on her tutu and at the end of the party it was ripped, so I will have to fix that. Poor Maryssa skirt was drooping so I will have to tighten the waist in her tutu. Maryssa had a tough time during the whole party. She cried during most of it. She has been having a lot of meltdowns lately.
My friend Julie was hanging up the ghost pinata for us. What a lifesaver Julie was!!
The first game we played was a age appropriate scavenger hunt. WE had treat bags filled with goodies for the kids as their prizes. The kids had to find certain things and then bring it back and trade it in for a treat bag. We started with the 1-2 year olds. They just had to find a little plastic pumpkin. then we did the 3 year olds. They had to find a little plastic pumpkin and a crayon. then we did one for the 4-6 year olds. They had to find a plastic pumpkin, a pencil, and a crayon. The older kids 7 and up had to find 2 plastic pumpkins, 2 pencils and 2 crayons. All of the kids had a blast!!
We had lots of yummy snacks. Angela made an incredible haunted cake! I didn’t have time to eat it but my girls gobbled it down. I made rice crispy treats with candy corn on top and I made homemade pumpkin pudding and brought whipping cream for the mommies to eat. They loved that!
We did a pin the nose on the pumpkin. The prize winner won a gift certificate at Red Robin for a free kids meal and a free sundae. Corrie’s daughter Madeline won that.
Then the kids lined up and did a costumer parade around the park. All of us moms had candy and the kids accepted candy from all of us. It was so cute.
They we all gathered around the pinata and the kids whacked away at the pinata. It took all of the kids and then a couple of moms to finally break open the pinata. We had about 40 kids there!!
What a fun Halloween party we had!!
