Parade and Fall Festival

Today was the Halloween Parade and Fall Festival at Julia's preschool.  She was very excited this morning to wake up and wear her Cinderella dress to school.  I must say she is one beautiful princess.  

All ready to go into school to show everyone her costume and see what her friends decided to be for Halloween.

Each of the classes made a craft that was on display on the festival.  On Tuesday I got to help Julia's class make pumpkin snowman which came out so cute!

Here's Julia's pumpkin snowman.  Isn't it cute?  The week before the kids went outside and collected leaves, sticks, and whatever else they could find so we just had to hot glue the things where they wanted them.

First up...the parade.  I remember having a Halloween parade when I was in elementary school but times have changed and that doesn't happen anymore so I'm loving all the 'fun' stuff she is getting to do in preschool in addition to the social, independent and academic aspect too.  We love Julia's preschool!

Such a beautiful princess!

Waiting for the parade to continue.

Julia said she loved the parade.

Parade is all over and they're headed to get a class photo.

Class photo and Andrew's head.  He kept trying to walk towards all the kids.

Julia and Alex.  I know Alex's mom from when I use to work at Sharon Elementary.  Since having kids we've both stayed home and I often see her around at the library or grocery store.  We were thrilled they were going to be in the same class this year and had a few play dates before school started so they would know someone in the class.

Julia and a sweet girl Chloe who was a princess too.

Let the Fall Festival begin.  They had lots of fun things for the kids including games, face painting, cookie decorating, bounce houses, slides and so on.  They did a great job of putting on a fun morning for the kids!

Julia and Andrew were impressed with the popcorn machine.  Once it started popping they both looked with amazement.  Obviously they have never seen a popcorn machine.

Another sweet girl in Julia's class named Grace.  We just had a play date with her the day before at a park and they had a blast running around and playing together.

Julia wanted to wait in line for the face painting and as she got closer she decided to have it on her arm so she would be able to see it.  Makes sense to me...if it's on your face other people can see it but not you.  She wanted to be able to see it too!  Thanks so much to everyone at Cumming First Baptist Church Preschool for all the work it took to organize today's event...we had a great time!  I asked Julia her favorite part of the day and she listed everything.  Then I asked her if she had one favorite part and she said the parade.
