Halloween

Halloween was on Friday this year! Yeah!  After subbing and working the schools a lot I think Halloween should be changed so that its always celebrated on the last Friday of October.

I helped to plan the 4th grade Halloween party.  It was pretty low key but the kids seemed to have fun.

About a month before Halloween I asked the kids if they'd rather go trick or treating or go to the cabin. They picked the cabin. They said they'd been trick-o-treating 8 times and they could miss it.  So we invited a few friends and their families to join us.  We had a pizza party and carved/painted pumpkins.  And then frosted Halloween sugar cookies.  It was a fun time and a nice change.  Best part was not having all of that candy left around the house and not having to buy any.
