Brady’s Fall Festival at preschool was today and she got to dress up in costume. She was super excited about wearing her pirate costume again (sans sword and eye patch) and has a really fun day ahead of her! They skipped chapel today (which is usually right after drop off) so all the kids could do a little parade around the parking lot for the parents to see.
Brady and her best buddy, Cole, were stuck to each other the entire time I was there. It was adorable to see! Cole kept telling Brady to smile at his daddy and say, “Arrr!” when he took a picture. I didn’t have the battery in my DSLR so I only have iPhone pics (and truth be told, I’m not very impressed with the camera on the 5 yet – so unless the one time I dropped it messed things up…). I’m hoping that Cole’s dad will email me some of his because he got some really great ones of Brady and Cole playing.
Cole’s mom commented that she was surprised that Cole and Brady were glued together at the hip because Cole is into all things boy. I told her that Brady loves playing with boys and is much happier playing with diggers or super heroes than dolls at this stage.
I don’t know how their schedule will be today but I do know there’s going to be lots of fun activities and isn’t their typical routine. The preschool is rotating the classes through to play themed games in the gym, there’s pizza for lunch, pumpkins, treat bags, and dessert! Cole’s mom brought in cake pops decorated like pumpkins and I made cupcakes. I was hoping to find some inspiration on Pinterest but ended up going the easy route and just doing triple fudge cupcakes and just piping on some orange icing I made (surprisingly difficult to achieve a deep orange without copious amounts of food coloring). I’m sure Brady is going to be on a sugar high when she gets home so when she crashes I’m hoping she takes a nap and rests up because she has Rolly Pollies and trick-or-treating tomorrow!
