Feeling Witchy!

Neeley couldn't wait for her birthday party that she has been planning for months.  This years theme: Spooky Halloween Fun!  I planned all sorts of fun activities but as I was getting ready for the party, it was confirmed that at least one of the activities was lame.  Just as I was getting the grapes ready for the "eyeballs" in our touch and scare boxes, a commercial for Arctic Circle came on where the kids told their mom that grapes for eyeballs is really lame and not scary at all!  (FYI: the six year olds at the party felt otherwise!  Thankfully!!)

After the kids each had a chance to feel the ghost teeth, bones, brains, worms and eyeballs, the surprise guest arrived! 

 I had to reassure all of the kids that she was a nice witch, otherwise there would have been tears, starting with Neeley!!  Everyone was entranced as the witch told all about her new broom and the crispy critters she had made the night before.  Then she gave them the first clue to the crispy critter treasure hunt.  
After the crispy critters were found the witch had one last surprise, the magic witches brew!

Having many Halloween preparations left to make, our witch disappeared into the distance as we continued on with cake, opening presents and a candy hunt.  

It was so fun to see the kids all dressed up in their costumes having fun together.  Another successful party goes down in the books.  Happy 6th birthday Neeley.  We love you!

Thanks to the witch (AKA my mom) for your time and efforts in making the party so fun! The girls never would have known it was you if the wind hadn't blown your hat off. Maybe it is better they saw you or they never would have believed us if we had told them!
