Not sure if JBF - just between friends - sale is national but man I love that sale!! Sell old items, barter for an early shopping pass and buy amazing items!!
Besides getting lots of school uniforms for our kiddos attending the Mandarin immersion school - I found all of these except Fei's (well she got a beautiful snow white costume but that didn't meet the theme.)
Heehee Dawson's English teacher pulled me aside a few days before Halloween as he told her we made him a potato LOL!
And Morgan went with all of her friends - who were all princess's. I just couldn't see spending tons of money and time making a ball gown she would wear once so this was our compromise - Belle before!
Halloween was a crazy day - as our family has gotten bigger, I have had to change how I do things.
I have backed down to being room mom for only one class.
I was super excited to help out my friend whose daughter is in the am class because they were IN CHINA getting their son!! So two parties for preschool meant missing the harvest fest at the mandarin school but we sent "pumpkin" cups made from butterscotch pudding and green airheads for stems (apparently I didn't get an pics LOL!)
Tao and Cav's class got mummies made from squeezey apple sauce and were super cute
We also changed up how we did Halloween - I know horrors. Our oldest had a football game at 7 pm (2 hours away) In addition, because we have so many food and begging issues with Cav and Fei we thought having them go to doors beg for food and get candy was … well. . . insane.
So I got them pizza, made them each up a treat basket with candy, bracelets, pencils etc and they got a NEW movie. Plus kettle corn because our Chinese kids especially LOVE popcorn LOL!
It was a crazy hard decision but ultimately they loved it, we got to go to the game and watch our oldest, and Brahm got to be ball boy for the varsity game!
Tak is #53!
