Halloween Party Preschool Style

Preschool Halloween parties are chaotic,crazy, sugar-laden, loud, fast-paced, and fun. They are also pretty short, which isn’t all together a bad thing. Too much chaos and sugar paired with loud and crazy activities can head south pretty quickly, if you know what I mean.

Luckily, Molly's party was the perfect balance of pint-sized fun that moved along at a fairly brisk pace. So hold on. here is the whirlwind of events that were squeezed into about 40 minutes.

The kickoff: Costume Parade around the hallways of the school. How cute is my little Minnie Mouse?!IMG_4007

Next up was power trick-or-treating in the church foyer. Molly scored a whole bucket of candy inside of 5 minutes.IMG_4014

Hannah Montana (aka Makenna) and Minnie Mouse (aka Molly) pause on the red carpet for a quick photo op with the mamarazzi.IMG_4026

A spooky Halloween tale…. IMG_4030

…and some silly Halloween songs.  IMG_4033Almost time for the good stuff: CANDY!

But first…time to pray before gorging on junk food. IMG_4036

Now it’s time to dig in! You do notice Molly’s apple slices, unopened, on her plate. She went right for the sugar. That a girl! (BTW the apple slices are still unopened in my refrigerator and my kid is in a sugar coma on the the couch as I type.)IMG_4038

For the finale, Molly stops to hug her teachers and thank them for a spooktacular Halloween Party!IMG_4045

And since she is still on her sugar high in a particularly jovial mood, Molly stops for one more hug with the director.IMG_4049

Now we have 48 hours to recover before the big event: Halloween Night! Molly gets the whole Trick or Treat thing this year and boy, is she excited!
