T*R*U*N*K or T*R*E*A*T
This year I helped Noni decorate. We chose a Backyardigans theme, using the stuff leftover from Emma's birthday. The theme was actually Backyardigans Birthday Party. It was a big hit with the kids and parents. It was funny because the preschoolers are so intent on collecting candy they aren't paying much attention to the displays. But the parent's would see Backyardigans and starting ooohing and aaaahing and they'd make sure their kids would see it too. I think the cake was touched at least three times and, yes, it was real.

I ran around and took pictures of the rest (and best) of the displays and if you'd like to see them they're posted at the web site here. All the new pics are down the right column.

I gave out candy until the kids came. Then I went around with them. Unfortunately Emma was a whiner the whole time. It kind of saps the fun out of any situation to have to listen to that. But she had skipped her nap and hadn't eaten in a while so it wasn't entirely for nothing she was a crank.

I think all the kids got an outrageous haul of candy from the day. We'll be doling Emma's out slowly. We were prepared for the glut of candy, but not for cake.



Proof that Emma was actually there.


After they had collected their candy the girls really wanted to help hand it out.


Eventually Little M had the job to herself.


Popi's display ended up being Bee Movie. It was originally just going to be a bee. But we ate lunch at McDonalds and collected four Bee Movie Happy Meal toys so suddenly the display became Bee Movie. (Is the movie even out yet?)


Beware flying Devil Cremes!
