Playgroup Halloween Party

Monday we had our playgroup Halloween party. We met Christina and Jackson at the pumpkin patch first so that we could get pumpkins to paint and then we headed to the party! There was lots of yummy food and the weather was beautiful so the kids had a great time playing outside!


We took a yummy pumpkin dip with ginger snaps and some chocolate covered pretzels that looked like pumpkins. The pumpkins had green M&Ms as stems and the girls had a great time helping me sort out the green M&Ms...especially since they got to eat the M&Ms leftover in their bowls!


Pumpkin Pretzels: pretzels, orange melting chocolate, green M&Ms; melt the chocolate and after it is melted add 1-2 tbsp. of Crisco...this will help make the chocolate smoother. Dip the pretzels in the chocolate and while they're still warm add the M&M at the top. :)

Pumpkin Dip: 1 can pumpkin, 8oz cool whip, 1 package instant vanilla pudding mix, 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice; mix all the ingredients together and at the end fold in the cool whip. I sprinkled mine with some nutmeg to make the top look pretty. :)
 
My little pumpkin girls!

I got these headbands for $1 at a Gymboree box sale...so cute!
Look at my silly Ellie girl...she's such a ham!





Emmie was the first one painting and the last one painting...she LOVES to paint and was so serious about what she was doing!



Ellie kept coming over to entertain baby Madison while I was holding her...it was pretty cute!

Cathy pulled the kids all over the yard in the wagon. Ellie had the BEST time...the faster Cathy went the bigger Ellie's smile!
