PTO Dress up party and a friend's birthday

Karis' school had a special PTO meeting where the kids could all wear costumes and then they got to take their baskets around to all the classrooms and their teachers would give them candy!  Karis really wanted to go but I am NOT big on the whole dressing up thing.  I don't make costumes and I certainly don't like to spend alot of money on them.  Mom has found several costumes over the years at yard sales and some have been gifts (cheerleading uniforms) and any others we have used are just ones we had around the house.  Karis chose to be a cowgirl because her best friend Mari-Morgan said that is what she was going to dress up as (which was easy, we had everything here!), Lucy wanted to be "Tangled" (Rapunzel) and she already had this dress because Nonnie had given it to her for her birthday  last year, and we broke down and let Brayden pick something out this year at Walmart.  He really wanted Superman but we couldn't find it in his size.  So a Ninja it was and he is so proud of it!

We got to school and Karis had to show us her picture on the bulletin board.

And we found Woody there too (Axton).  He looked so cute!

We took the kids around to the classrooms and they loved it.  Lucy got the hang of it really quick!

Lucy especially liked it when we got around to Mrs. Destin's room (Axton's mom...she LOVES her!).

And when Lucy saw Mrs. Burchet, she was pushing people away to get to her!  (This is Everett's mom.)  Then she was eyeing her hat haha!

Lucy was so sweet to share her candy too.  All the way home she was passing some up to me and Jay...so giving.

Afterwards, we went out to eat with my buddy Marybeth and her family because today is her birthday.  She is such a good friend to me and I am so thankful for her friendship! We went to a local Mexican restaurant and they surprised her with a serenade and then pie in the face.  It was priceless!

I caught the very end of it on video....
