Well sadly the 4-H Halloween Party is over, we had an absolute great turn out and every adult and child looked like they had a blast! The invitations were sent out weeks ago and honey do list was handed out 2-3 weeks ago and planning has been going on for about a month. So it was the week of the party and yes we thought we had everything all planned, then Saturday came. I thought I was going to be able to peel and cut two bushels of apples, make two veggie pizzas, seven pounds of sloppy joes, prepare potato salad, chocolate dipped pretzels, and jello by myself in one day. Art cleaned out the garage but had football in Boyne City at 4:30 so he was out of commission. So out come the troops to save the day, my Father in law putting up the black wall cover in the garage, my Mother in law peeling apples and advising, cousin Deb peeling eggs and apples, and the Canfield kids running errands and helping me laugh and decorate. Which I really needed towards the end because when I finally went to bed Saturday night I had been up for 39 hours straight. It was the first party I have ever planned that I was actually calm so I have decided before every party to ask for help and to have kids involved because they keep you laughing.
So the party arrives on Sunday and were as ready as were going to be. I dressed as Minnie Mouse and some of the other parents dressed up but the best part was all of the kids were dressed up and they were all adorable. I can not believe how much fun we had, the food was great, the games were fantastically fun, making applesauce was a learning experience for the kids, and the animals were a hit. After the party people helped clean up and everyone said thank you and genuinely appreciated everything that we did. As usual anything I do with kids I cry afterwards because I am so happy I made them happy and it gets me excited for the one day we could be doing all of this for our little one(s).
