Life With Ella

Halloween started on Friday at school.  The preschoolers were not allowed to dress up but the rest of the school was.  First thing on Friday morning, Ella and Brickelle met up with their buddy Cassi for morning assembly.  Cassi was dressed up like a woman who worked out in the late 70’s/early 80’s.  Her costume came from the Broadway show Xanadu.

The girls just love Cassi.  She is so sweet with them.

Alicia did some face painting for the kids in class today so that they could have something special for Halloween.  Ella wanted a spider web and I suggested that maybe she could ask Alicia if she could paint red jewels on the spider web.  Ella told me that I needed to ask Alicia about the jewels since it was my idea.  Alicia did a great job!

Notice the glitter in the jewels.  Pretty cool.

On Saturday morning, Ella woke up and was very excited about Halloween.  Of course she had a plan to be Cinderella and we had a party to go to at 5:00 and another one at 6:30.  After having fun painting and hanging around the house, it seemed like Ella wanted to get out of the house.  We suggested that she pick one of the many costumes that she had in her closet to go outside and do some neighborhood Trick or Treating.  Ella decided to go out in her old cat costume and we knocked on Stella and Juliet’s door to see if they wanted to go around in the neighborhood.  Stella wasn’t feeling great so Juliet went with Sunny and Ella.

Ella thought the glasses gave the costume a fancy touch.

Finally 5:00 rolled along and Ella put on her Cinderella costume.  We walked a few blocks to a neighborhood Halloween party.

All of these kids were in Music Together about 2 years ago.  It’s incredible how much they have all grown up!

Ella liked having Snow White at the party with her.

After all of the parties, we ended the night with some glow in the dark dancing around in the house.
