Fright Fest at Daycare

Last night, Friday night, was Fright Fest at Emily's Daycare. It was a little Halloween carnival. All of the workers at the daycare put a lot of work into it and we were very impressed. They had Trunk or Treat in the parking lot for the kids and all sorts of games inside and a Haunted House. Matt and I took pictures with Emily right after we got there. All of the kids were in their costumes and Emily wouldn't let go of us. It took her a little while to warm up to everything that was going on.

She played a little duck game and each of the ducks had a number on the bottom of them. They got to pick a prize out of different buckets that matched the number to a duck.

They also had face painting. She picked out what she wanted and the color too.

I couldn't get her check cleaned off all of the way once we were home, so it's still stained a very faint purple in the shape of a heart. She sat very still during the entire time and didn't touch it once her teacher was finished.

They also had a booth set up to decorate a cookie. She choose a pumpkin with orange icing and lots of different sprinkles. She kept pointing for another teacher to add more.

She mostly just licked the icing and sprinkles off of the cookie.

They also had a cupcake walk. One of the teachers helped Emily since she was the smallest one doing it. They each got a pixie stick if they didn't win a cupcake. Emily kept bringing it to me and wasn't sure about it once I poured a little bit in her mouth. She kept making a funny face.

This was one of the tables in the Haunted House. Emily kept saying 'EWWW GROSS' at the brains. Of course she didn't even know what they are. She heard the older kids saying it.

She didn't win a cupcake. The girl walking with her gave one to Emily anyway. It's still sitting in the box. I don't think Emily even knew she got one. We'll just keep it that way. She keeps pointing to the candy bowl and asking for more candy to eat.

We had a really good time. After about an hour and a half, Matt and I were ready to leave. We tried to leave twice and Emily was throwing the biggest fit ever and didn't want to leave. She threw herself on the floor outside and was kicking and screaming. Matt took her back inside to let her go through the Haunted House again. He's such a softie. We tried again and just made a mad dash to the car. Everyone thought she got scared in the Haunted House. I had to explain to her teachers that she was having so much fun and didn't want to leave.

After we got home that night, Emily was walking in the kitchen with a Sonic drink in one arm and rubbing one of her eyes with her other and she kept saying 'I tired'. I have never heard her say that. I guess she wore herself out with all the fun she had.
