Bryn went back to school yesterday & is feeling MUCH better! Today she was ready & looking forward to her class party! I find it curious that we can't call this party a HALLOWEEN party, but rather a FALL party. Yet, they are supposed to wear costumes. However... the theme for the 3rd graders this year is "children around the world" which is good, because that gives you a LOT of options. We went with a cowgirl & didn't have to buy a thing for Bryn to wear (always nice!). Her favorite part of the costume was the "freckles." She's all about the makeup...
She wants to be a vampire for a costume party she's attending next Friday night. I found a cape & some "teeth" for about $8. If I can get away with spending less than $10 on 2 costumes this year, I think that might be a record!
I made some quick gift tags to put on some teacher's treats for the party today...
And the party was FUN & a success! (And I'm glad it's over. On with my weekend!)
We have really good tickets for the Mizzou Homecoming game tomorrow, but when they finally announced the game time as 7pm we were really disappointed. Not sure yet if we want to be outside that long with Bryn & have her get sick again after we've made it through this flu week so well. We'll see what happens!
Happy Friday everyone!
I LOVE these photos!!! What did you do some kind of antique tinting to them?? awesome stuff!!!!!

Glad the party was a success and that Bryn is well. I'm also a fan of cheap costumes, too! ;)

Loving her costume, and those treat bags. I have to work on Halloween so I can't dress up but I guess at 22 I should probably stop. LOL

I'm so happy she's feeling better! What a cutie! How strange that you can't call it a halloween party. Granted, i'm not a big fan of the day, but i still don't see the issue. Also, lucky teachers! :)

I am sooooooooooooo glad that miss Brynn is feeling better. I love that "fall party" costume. We weren't ever allowed to have "Halloween parties" in school either. We had too many parents that would not allow their children to be part of that due to religious beliefs. I don't think we ever got to get dressed up though. hmmm...that's just too funny.
P.S. Mizzou played Texas for Homecoming? That's a tough game right there, esp. for homecoming....

What a cute cowgirl ;) I like the color processing on your photos. HOpe you're having a great weekend!!

yay! I'm glad she's feeling better and the costume and freckles are adorable! I wish the DD's costume would have only cost that but we had to drive 40 minutes away and look for 2 hours for the exact schoolgirl skirt she wanted. By the time we found it I was ready to throw myself down onto the hard floor of the mall and roll aroundl like a deranged person! haha
