Halloween Fun - School

Halloween weekend was a blast!

Here is a recap split into a couple of posts (as not to bore you to tears)!

This year we (meaning myself and my friend Michelle Parker) tried to get the girls to dress in a theme. The Parkers live in CO but they were in Fairhope this weekend for Keith's 20 year (cough old man) high school reunion! Not wanting to miss them we made the decision to drive down and trick or treat with them. Can you blame us for trying to get a theme? I mean when will we ever get to trick or treat with them again? But tiny heads were strong and stuck on costume ideas of their own so we gave up on the theme of 3 Asian sheep and one red headed Little Bow Peep. I know, right?, how cute would that have been! We even tried the "but you can be a sheep in a beautiful tu-tu".

The princesses decided long ago to be

Mae - Princess Ting Ting from Mulan II.

Jane - a "sweet to you" witch.

And that is exactly what they were...

Witchy poo Jane Harris

The three amigos!

Mae's class

Cinderella and the witch.

Friday morning was the annual "Fall Parade" at school. Now, I LOVE the girls school but I find it strange to call it a Fall Parade. I mean all the children are dressed in costume and it is on Halloween but whatever, I digress!

Spider Mommy

This picture is called "Spider Mommy" by Mary Austin Zuhong Head.

The following in an interpretation as told to me by the artist.

That is you as a spider. Jane Harris is in your belly. You have lots of flowers around you because you are about to have Jane cut out of your belly (yes, JH was a c-section) and people are happy so they all gave you flowers and candy. There is no candy in the picture because "you have already gobbled up all the candy". The other spider is Daddy. (Note other spider at top right). As you can see Daddy is upside down, has all 8 legs plus 2 eyes on the top of his head (which is really the bottom since he is upside down). I asked why I did not have 8 legs.

The reply: "well, you do but one is under your big fat belly because it makes you wobbly"

Nice.

For the record I was so sick with JH that I was the same weight when I gave birth that I was pre-pregnancy.

Mary Austin then went on to tell me that when she was a mommy she would just go to China and adopt.

So sweet until she continued with "because no way is someone cutting open my belly".

Think Pink!

Future Phi Mu girls!

(Mommy was a Phi Mu at Univ of Alabama)

As usual, Jane Harris was more interested in the powdered sugar donuts that some of the sorority girls gave her while Mae was ALL about the posing!

Happy Birthday Bobby!

We had lots of fun at Bobby's Pigskins and Picnics birthday party!

Mae wore Alabama colors and Jane wore Auburn although the girls did not really care about team colors! Especially once they saw the bounce castle and MEGA slide!

Everyone slid down the slide even the grown-ups but we won't post those pics here!

They are better left for some blackmailing one day!

Jane goes up.

Mary Austin comes down!

The girls together.

We also had fun on the swing set.

Mary Austin cools off.

Her head sweats like no tomorrow!

My name is Jane Harris...

and I love PB&J sandwiches!
