Ruby's 1st Halloween party & trick or treat
I decided to do a time jump and skip ahead three years, and since this week is Halloween I decided to do a Halloween theme chapter for almost all my stories.
That fall Drake registered Ruby for preschool and she loves it she's meeting all kinds of new friends, and is learning her ABCs & 123s, and is learning sign language. Drake decided to take on Ruby's class Halloween party that week.
"Ruby come on we got to pick out your costumes for the Halloween party next week" Drake calls upstairs
"Coming daddy' she says running downstairs with her pigtails bouncing against her shoulders
(Costume store)
"I like this costume daddy" she says when she sees a witch costume that lights up
"Oh it's very festive, and you will light up at the party on Wednesday for sure, and if the power goes out there will still be light in the classroom" he says as they pick out a costume for trick or treat
Ruby picks out Sophia the first cause that was her favorite Disney princess out of all of them for trick or treat that Thursday
(Wednesday)
"Okay Ruby ready to get your costume on for preschool?" Drake asks her
"Yes daddy" she says as she jumps off her chair and runs upstairs to her room to get her costume on
Drake did the breakfast dishes, and went to see if Ruby needed any help with her costume which she did she needed help zipping up the back-end of the costume
"There we go all you need is your cute witch hat and you will be good to go" he says finishing her up
"Thank you daddy" she says as she heads back downstairs to grab her coat and her back pack
Drake dropped her off and headed home to get started on the treats, treat bags, and the games the preschool kids were going to play. Luckily his mom, Josh, and Mindy were coming to help him
(Drake's house)
"Hey mom" he says when his mom enters the house
"Hey Drake what do you need help with?" she asks
"I need help making the Halloween cupcakes for the party, and while the cupcakes are baking can you make the orange icing I'm going to decorate them with cause I'm busy making the graveyard that kid friendly" he says
"Sure sweetie" she says tying on a spare apron and gets to work making the cupcakes
"Hey Drake we're here what needs done?" Josh asks coming into the house
"Can you and Mindy get started on the nametags that are going to go with the treat bags?" Drake asks Josh
"Sure buddy, but first me and Mindy have an announcement to make" Josh says
Josh and Mindy got married last year and Ruby was their flower girl, and Mindy was more than happy to have her god-daughter in the ceremony. Then right before Ruby entered preschool she had to get glasses
"You want to tell them or do you want me?" Mindy asks
"Let's tell them on three" Josh says
"1, 2, 3, we're pregnant" Josh and Mindy say together
"Congrats buddy" Drake says patting Josh on the back
"Thanks Drake if we're having a girl do you still have Ruby's old clothes?" Josh asks
"Yes I do just let me know if you do I'll be happy to give them to you" Drake says
Josh and Mindy work on the treat bags for everyone while Drake and his mom were busy in the kitchen baking
(An hour later)
"Okay everyone I also made purple icing too so we can both orange and purple cupcakes" Audrey says as the four starts decorating cupcakes all kinds of different ways
After all the cupcakes were decorated and packed in the cupcake case. Drake, Audrey, Josh and Mindy headed to the preschool to begin setting up for the party
(Ruby's preschool)
"Luckily they are going classroom to classroom showing off their costumes and they won't return until later" Drake says when they reach Ruby's classroom
Audrey & Mindy laid out the Halloween table-cloth and started placing the cupcakes and the treat bags around each table
"Drake why is Ruby sitting away from all the other boys and girls?" Mindy asks
"I didn't realize it until today. When I have parent teacher conference I'll bring it up then" Drake says as he and Josh set-up the games the pre-k kids were going to do when they came back into the room
"Okay boys and girls take your seat while we wait for instructions from Ruby's dad" Mrs. Flume says
Ruby ran up and gave her daddy a big hug
"Hi sweetie can you sit down for me please?" Drake asks her
"Okay daddy" Ruby says going to her seat
Her class played pin the bones on the skeleton, made their own spells, had a freeze dance contest, played a different version of mother may and other games
"Okay guys it seemed you guys had fun I made you guys a special treat and it's called graveyard it has pudding cookie crumbs, gummy worms all kids of treats so eat up" Drake says serving the graveyard to the kids
"Also I'm Ruby's grandmother and I made a witches brew for you guys to drink" Aubrey says filling up the cups with the beverage
The pre-k kids couldn't get enough of the witches brew, so they asked for more
"Thank goodness I made a second batch for this group" Aubrey says going back around to fill up their cups
Mindy passes around the cupcakes the pre-k kids got a special treat when they found a cream center in the middle
"When you weren't looking the purple cupcakes got orange in the middle, and the orange got purple in the purple
"Jenna look at my tongue" Ruby says showing her purple and orange tongue to her friend
"Nah look at mine" Jenna says
Soon all the boys and girls were showing their different color tongues to each other
"Okay boys and girls time to clean up and get ready to go home" Mrs. Flume says to them Ruby hurries up and throws all her trash away and runs and gets her back pack and runs into Josh's arms
"Ruby back to your seat now I have not dismissed you" Mrs. Flume says
Ruby shakes her head no
"Ruby now or you go in time-out" Mr. Flume says
"I'm taking her to the car" Josh says leaving
"No you won't Ruby time out now" Mrs. Flume says pulling Ruby from Josh's arms and placing her in time-out
Ruby hit, kicked, bite punch the teacher
Mindy, Aubrey, and Josh help Drake clean up after the kids went across the hall to Mrs. Coyne room
"Ruby for that I'm taking you to the secret room for your punishment" Mrs. Flume says
"We got it Drake go after Ruby" Mindy says
"Ruby sweetie it's daddy are you okay?" he asks her
"No daddy I'm not the teacher is going to hit me with a cutting board cause I didn't behave" she says balling
"Mom go get the principal Mindy go tell Mrs. Coyne that Mrs. Flume's class is coming over" Drake says
Audrey heads to the office while Mindy heads across the hall. Luckily Mrs. Coyne brings the children over to her classroom quickly once the children have been transported. Drake breaks down the door and grabs his crying and screaming princess from Mrs. Flume and gives her to Mindy who volunteers to take her home and calm her down
"Drake let me handle this" Aubrey says as she takes care of Mrs. Flume herself
Drake & Josh both talk as they continue to clean up the classroom, and take everything out to Drake's car
"I'd say Drake this party went off without a hitch if I say so myself" Josh says
"Why thank you I think so to the kids were covered in icing they sure are going to be hyper tonight" Drake says as he boxes up the games and the music
"Especially Ruby" Josh says as he cleans up the tables
After the classroom was cleaned and tidy Drake grabs his mom and heads home
(Trick or treat night)
"There's my little princess ready to go to pawpaw and nana's" he asks her
"Yes daddy" she says heading out the door
"Trick or treat" Ruby says to Walter
"Ruby you don't have to say trick or treat around me" Walter says picking her up and spinning her around
"Megan I want to get your picture with Ruby" Aubrey calls
Megan comes out as Mortica Addams and stands by Ruby as Aubrey takes a picture
"Bye mom we'll be back" Drake says as him Megan, and Ruby leave to take Ruby trick or treating
(Thirty minutes later)
"Daddy my bag is full" Ruby says
"Okay luckily I brought a pillowcase and you can dump everything in there" Drake says holding up the pillowcase so Ruby can empty her findings once her bag was empty she went off to the next house
"Trick or treat" Ruby says when the next house opens
"Here you go little girl happy Halloween" a neighbor says giving Ruby some fruit snacks
(An hour later)
"Josh can you bring the car down to 44th and vine with the car cause Ruby is starting to get tired" Drake says when Josh picks up
"On my way" Josh says grabbing the car keys
When Josh meets them Ruby is fast asleep on Drake's shoulder, and Aubrey offers them to stay at the house since Ruby is fast asleep
"Thanks mom I'm going to lay her down in her spare room" Drake says taking a sound asleep Ruby to the spare room
