Halloween fFestivities

So last weekend was a busy one for us. I had a girls night out on friday that almost everyone couldn't make it to.LOL. But Paula and I had big girl time and it was fun!

On Sat Skylee had a Halloween party at Prairie Grove Battlefield Park. This was thru NWA Playgroups and she had a blast. It was a potluck and we brought yummy pumpkin bars. It was a bit cool so she had to wear a long sleeve shirt under her costume. And she had sparkly makeup to top it all off. I think it turned out pretty good. She made some new friends, a woman dressed as Spiderman and a little girl named Tatum. I think Skylee's fave thing she ate was grapes, go figure. All these cool new foods and she likes grapes. They had trick-or-treating and she got a bunch of candy for her bag. We took this tour that showed the horrors of the civil war battlefield. Now that was kind of crazy because that was my first "civil war buff" experience. LOL. It was kind of neat and Skylee was very interested in the amputation scene. LOL. Yeah it wasn't scary at all and ended with a hay ride. Then on the way home Rapunzel decided she was hungry again and needed a kids meal and scarfed that down in the car.

She ditched me to sit next to Spiderman(woman) at dinner.LOL


Finish it all off with the battlefield tour. Note the chocolate on the face. They even served hot applecider made over a camp fire and Kettlecorn. Yum!



Then on Sunday Skylee's school had a Halloween carnival and she wore her firefighters costume there. How did she get another costume you ask? Well last week she had a rough time at school drop off and I promised to get her a treat while I did grocery shopping. So I knew that day the Springdale FD was coming to her class to teach them about fire safety. So I bought a cute little Fire helmet. When I gave it to her she was upset because she wanted the one that came with the costume. So I went to exchange it and she on certain days becomes Firefighter Skylee. It is pretty cute.
So at this carnival they had games, a cake walk, face painting, hair and nail stuff, a cake walk, cotton candy, popcorn, snow cones, and stuff like that. There was this really cute rrabbit dressed as a bee.




Her fave thing was getting her hair painted green.
