Halloween

Mrs. Stefanie kicked off Halloween with a celebration at Tender Heart daycare on Thursday, October 27.

In her words from the daycare blog:

"The Halloween party was a HUGE success! The kids were so happy and excited that the day we have been taking about was here. I kept my costume a secret and it was so cute to see their reaction when I came down the stairs dressed like a pumpkin!! It was a cute and awesome moment to have as a childcare provider! I truly am blessed to have a job that is fun and rewarding."

With the help of her daughter, Brianna, she did a photo shoot with all of the kids in their costumes.

The St. Stephen preschool classes paraded around the church narthex on Monday morning to Holiday songs like "Monster Mash". Aaron brought up the rear, right in front of Mrs. Heitzman, dressed as "Thing #1". Collin also had a Pumpkin Party followed by a Halloween parade at Hillcrest.

After Aaron, Nolan, and I picked Collin up from chess club, we met Daddy at the Anderson's house in Eden Prairie for trick-or-treating. Molly made us a dinner of sloppy joes, homemade french fries, grapes, and a salad before we hit the streets.
