I wake up at my normal time, do my normal routine, grab my phone and head into the kitchen, only to discover that a parent decided it was OK to text me at 11:57 last night. So far this morning I have received eight text messages from parents about stupid Halloween things. I swear today and tomorrow are the worst days in daycare of the year. How is your Halloween day going so far?

So far, so good.
The party scene is set up. The treats are ready for going home. The crafts are almost dry. Only two kids are late showing up and missed breakfast. 
Everyone claims they are coming to pick-up early so I made a Halloween Themed dinner to serve all my closing time pick-ups before they head off to TRT.
Parents tend to forget to factor in today's traffic.
I've been here before.

I am off tomorrow so YAY! happyface
I plan to fill them full of party fun and candy goodness and send them all home happy and ready to go Trick or Treating with their families.
Several of my kiddos are going home early which is awesome since I had a DCK forgotten here last night. Usually picked up at 4:15. Still here more than 45 minutes past closing First time in years..... DCP's got in LOUD argument in the driveway when they did show up. 
But today's agenda is to just have fun and enjoy the day!
Happy Halloween everyone!!

I have never had any issues with Halloween so that is good! I didn’t do costumes this year, only black, white and orange or halloween themed clothes. Have some pumpkin themed food for the day and we are going to dance and make monster faces.
We are supposed to get 50mm of rain tonight and wind gusts so Halloween here is gonna be a dud I am sure

They do. But I also have a bit of extra cash to spend over the weekend too so.... :

It really wasn't DCMs fault. She works later and is responsible for all drop offs. DCD is pick up person and he decided to have a quick nap that ended up being longer than intended so my beef is with him more than DCM.
She left work and came IMMEDIATELY after seeing my text.
They are really young and DCM tries to do it all..... DCD is like a second child to her. I so want to give her advice but I remember all too well how welcome that kind of helpfulness was when I was her age so I try to just let their issues be their issues.
I've had them in care for a few years now and this is the first time they've messed up. I can forgive and move forward. Plus DCM brought me Reese's peanut butter cups today so....

We do low key Halloween here. We wear pjs, watch a G rated Halloween movie, we decorate and eat sugar cookies, do a hand print keepsake craft and a Halloween lunch.
However, the kids are bonkers today. The anticipation and excitement drive them wild ::
BC, isn't today your birthday? Happy birthday lovethisComment

The kids are in costume here, though they have been removed for lunch and nap. I'm in costume as well, this year I made it simple, I'm wearing a onsie dragon pajama from walmart.
My kids are at school both in costume. One is wearing his dragon onesie (zips in front for easy potty access he is 3). He wanted to be a scarecrow but there was nothing in anywhere or online in his size, just every other size. Dragon was his seconed pick, but the costume ones all are not potty friendly. My other guy is Shazam.
Eta: I close an hour early tonight so I can enjoy the night with my kids, though were getting rain and wind gusts. I'm sure the kids will have fun. I just keep telling myself it's not a blizzard, like the weather were I grew upComment

Happy Birthday Blackcat!!! Enjoy your extra long weekend!! Smart of you to close the day after the Annual Candy Feast Night!
Doing all those parties/decorations/crafts/treats became a drag for me in recent years. So why do I miss it today??:confused:Comment

Bet you'd be shocked to know my daycare kids that were supposed to be picked up by now are still here.
