I took my three-year-old son to a Halloween-themed birthday party full of preschoolers yesterday. So cute!
Instead of a big cake, there was an army of skeleton cupcakes (forgive the photo quality - I took them with my mobile phone):

Luckily for my weight loss efforts, these little guys couldn't be quickly and discreetly gobbled down in a corner somewhere, so I passed on the cupcakes. Instead, I watched the kids play sweet little games like "Pin the Spider on the Web," "Musical Ghosts," "Bobbing for Apples," "Painting Pumpkins," and a mummy game where they wrapped each other in toilet paper.

This was also served, so I could munch without fear.

Then after partying down with the preschoolers, I headed to the gym, where the elliptical was my evening activity.

This was a good test run for the upcoming holiday parties, I think! What strategies do you have for dealing with the holiday festivities?

a total aside, but your phone takes pretty good pictures!
ReplyDeleteI have a 3 year old too... oh the snacks...
Great job making the healthier food choice.
It helps a little, knowing you can take photos of them to share with us, doesn't it?

I love those skeleton cupcakes--the pretzels are such a creative way to make the skeletons! Wow, way to go on resisting temptation. My strategy is to not even try--I eat everything in sight!
