Ethan's Class Party

The school Halloween Parade was in the afternoon this year (a bad idea, in my opinion because the kids couldn't go to school in their costumes and had to change after lunch so it was a mess) so Ethan's class had their party before the parade. After they ate lunch they hurried back to their classroom to get dressed in their costumes.

The party was split into four stations: cookie decorating, pictionary, pumpkin guts and bowling. Ethan and his good friend, Cody, started at pictionary. They had a lot of fun with that one because they had "practiced" at Ethan's party the Saturday before.

They rotated to the pumpkin guts game. Now, Ethan has a really strong gag reflex and this game made him nervous. They had to dig in cold spaghetti inside a pumpkin until they found a marble. They put an apron on Ethan, blindfolded him and off he went....and immediately began to gag. I was nervous he was going to throw up. The woman in charge of the game immediately told him to take his hands out and wash them. He felt a bit bad about not finishing the game but was pale and didn't feel very good for a while afterward so he agreed that it was best that he not play "gross out" games. For the next 10 minutes, every time he thought of the pumpkin guts game he would start gagging.

I had to take a picture to prove that he tried but you can tell that he is gagging and the woman behind him is telling him to take his hands out.
Then they moved on to the cookie decorating station. I helped with this station but really didn't do much. It was a simple station so I helped the mom in charge (Cody's mom) put out the cookies and then the kids were on their own. It gave me time to take pictures and chat with the other moms.

They then bowled, which was fun but not to great for pictures. Ethan and Cody wanted their picture taken with Mrs. Belliston, their teacher. She is great!

When the party was over I ran outside to get into position for the parade.
