Our Little Friends group had a super cute "Monster Bash" Saturday. Our friend, Natalie, came up with the idea and I absolutely loved it. The idea behind it was to let the girls know that Our God is bigger than any monster out there. And not just the "boogy man" monster.... we all have monsters in our lives.... could be we are scared of spiders, bullies, doing bad on tests, or any other numerous thing, BUT when we turn to God, He helps us with all of our fears.
She gave them each this "Monster Mist" (aka water) to spray anytime they are feeling afraid...
Anytime we have our Little Friends gatherings, we each contribute in some form or fashion. My job in this one was to make the monsters and the adoption certificates for them. I really had so much fun doing them. I have to admit it was very difficult to come up with 21 different ways to do a monster. Each monster (as well as each certificate) was unique just as each of our girls. No two were the same.
Friday night we skipped the football game, stayed home and grilled. It gave me the chance to work on the monsters. Both of our Moms ate with us. They were both so helpful. My Mom helped with supper, made a YUMMY red velvet cake and helped me with some Monsters. Kman and Soph went home with Kyle's Mom so he could go hunting the next morning while Heidi and I went to the Monster Bash. It really was a fun night. Just staying home, hanging out with family, and enjoying the evening.
Here was a picture I took before I assembled any of the monsters....
Once I got their faces created, Heidi and I stuffed them all with bags and then I sealed them shut with the hot glue gun.

 |
| The glue gun was NOT friendly to me. |
 |
| They were all ready for a sweet little Mommy to adopt them. |
 |
| The one Heidi chose :)! |
Natalie did a phenomenal job with all of the decor. It was all so cute!
The walk way to the party set up was cutely lined with monsters, sayings, and "spooky" music.

| My sweet Angel.... |
 |
| Olaf and an angel |
 |
| Made me smile so big on the inside watching them get so excited over the monsters. |
We always bring God into all of our gatherings. Nothing is as important as He is and we always want the girls to know to rely on Him no matter what.
This is a shot of Natalie telling them a couple of Bible stories.....
 |
| Then they played a fun game of "Guess who this friend is". Each of us Moms gave Natalie 3 things about our daughter and the other girls had to guess who it was. They had a lot of fun trying to guess who went with what characteristics. |
 |
| The costumes were all absolutely adorable. We had a robot, 2 witches, scarecrow, peacock, Princes Ana, genie, police woman, angel, Olaf, hippy chick, Asian girl, leopard, cat, candy corn, 50s girl, and a zombie ballerina. |
 |
| I love this picture!! Looks like my Angel is flying :)!! And the robot lost her head haha.... |
..... Another one of their party favors.... tic tacs......
I am so thankful for this group of Moms and their daughters. These girls are making memories that will last a lifetime.
