Halloween

So Friday was Halloween at school, and we had so much fun! This was the first year our students could NOT wear a costume (bummer) and there was no costume parade either :( Instead, we decided to carve pumpkins all morning! Amy has never carved a pumpkin before...I can't believe someone who has lived in America her whole life has never carved a pumpkin!!!! Then we had our unofficial Halloween "party" (that we're not technically even allowed to have) in the afternoon with yummy cupcakes and cookies! It was also crazy hair day, hence the neon pink hair and pipe cleaners sticking out.

Here are some pictures of our class carving. We carved the big one as a class and then each table got 2 to dig out the innards and seeds:

We had so many trick or treaters this year!!! I ended up turning off the lights and locking the doors when we almost ran out of candy around 9:30. What a difference a fence in the backyard makes with a dog that goes crazy when the doorbell rings!! I really enjoyed just sticking him outside with Summer and letting them bark at all the trick-or-treaters out of earshot.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!!!!
