Rock-A-Bye Buggy: Daycare Halloween Festival 2011

Yay! Friday Night was the Halloween Festival at Sydney and Annabelle's daycare. Time to bust out the costumes!

Being Tinkerbell was perfect for Sydney this year. Who would've guessed that way back almost a year ago when Nana's neighbor handed down the costume to us. Sadly, the green light up Tink shoes with the white fluffy pompom on the top were about 2 sizes too big for Buggy's peanut feet (so she just wore her favorite blinky Sketchers that she wears to school every.single.day.)

All dressed up and ready to party:

Annabelle was instantly greeted by her teacher, Miss Jenn:

Miss Jenn's costume with the hood up. This is a toddler size costume that she cut and paired with black shorts and orange tights. The toddler legs of the costume were worn as legs warmers. Genious!

Tinkerbell:

her little wand/stick thing is turned on and lit up here, but you can barely tell because of her hands covering it:

Sydney runs to give a hug to her music teacher, Miss Suzanne (she LOVES Miss Suzanne)

Bug smiled on the first pic, but had her wand blocking her face. Take 2:

Game Time! As soon as we arrived, Bug (as always) was just itchin' to get in the jumper. They had it set up at school all day and needless to say, she'd already been in it a good part of the day. I told her she had to visit every room and play each game/activity before hitting up the bouncer.

Room #4 was skee-ball. Same blow up game as last year. And also same as last year, Bug walked right up it to put the balls in the holes:

awwwwww... a nice comfy spot to sit:

Next was on to Room 5 where Miss Summer had the kids dig spiders out of a pot of spaghetti (I think she was telling the bigger kids it was brains). Buggy had no interest in getting her hands in the pot - but she took a green and orange spider that were handed to her:

Next, onto Room 3 where Miss Ana was helping the little ones in the floating duck game. You had to find 2 ducks with matching numbers. Sydney decided instead to stick her blow-pop (won at previous "game") into the water and swirl it all around with the wrapper still on. Yeah, D and I threw that out - gross.

And finally in Room 2 was the bean-bag toss to knock over cans. Bug sucked at this. Girl has no aim. Ha ha ha . She literally threw sideways.

And don't forget, Annabelle was in attendance too. Along with her carrot rattle that was a complete drooly-slobbery mess by the end of the evening:

here we have just a cute picture of Sydney:

This picture warms my heart. Who wouldn't love a guy with that smile while holding an adorable pink bunny and sparkly Tinkerbell wings:

Time for the Jumper! I only put in this pic of Buggy's backside to prove what an ingenious mom I am. I realized just before getting her dressed that her costume didn't have bloomers. Ack! No one wants to see her pink Pull-ups! So I at first resigned myself that a pair of white shorts would be fine - and who cares if they show a little under the dress. Then it hit me. Annabelle has a pair of bright green bubble shorts sized 6 months. They worked perfectly as bloomers for Bug!

So here is my 27 month old child wearing 6 month size shorts! Awesome:

I could get very few pics of Bug in the Jumper. Taking pics through the mesh (other than the pic above) was pretty darn impossible because of the sheer number of older kids that were slamming into the sides. I didn't need one of them knocking full force into me or my camera.
