Ethan's Fall Party

Ethan had his class party today. I like to call it his "fall" party because (as I teach Ethan to say) I don't prefer Halloween. Everything about Halloween is creepy to me... spiders, death, black, orange, etc. I wish it didn't "ruin" the fall... I get creeped out just going grocery shopping, but I am on a tangent... so I will stop for now. Fall is my favorite time of the year and I do love costumes, I do love dressing up... and Ethan was so excited about getting to wear his costume today! He wanted to go as Ming-Ming from the Wonder Pet TV show.
It was fun to see him with his class. They paraded around to all the other classrooms and I just loved seeing him interact and for most of it he just held onto his teacher's finger.
He is a sweet boy... can't believe he is this big already!
I made the princess a little cape and was delighted that she ACTUALLY wore it! Before she just ripped it off anytime I got it on her! She had fun putting all sorts of new stuff in her mouth!
The cupcakes I made for the party were inspired by (this) blog.

I am a fan of parties and all the fun that goes into the preparation. I keep pinching myself to see if I am actually living this dream... my little guy is growing up so fast!

Here is a picture of the back of his cape... the Wonder Pet logo (in case you have never seen it!).

Ethan, you look great in your costume! I know you had fun at your party! Did you like the other kids' costumes, too?

How fun! and those cupcakes look delish.
Good job on the costumes.

I've been waiting to see what you came up with :) LOVE the costumes... you can tell Ethan LOVES it too. That's funny because I am working on making super hero costumes for the boys (but for Christmas... we are having a mostly handmade Christmas this year). What materials did you use on them?

Kim-e, I used fleece. It was easy to work with and so soft. I wanted to use felt, but it was all out.. and I am glad.
