Halloween

It has been a busy last week of October for us. Last weekend, we went to the pumpkin patch and each child picked out a pumpkin/gourd. The rule this year was you had to be able to carry your own pumpkin. Here is what each one picked out.

Since it was too hot (92-93 degrees most of the week, pumpkins rot very fast in that heat) to carve the pumpkin, Joo came up with her own solution to making a jack-o-lantern.

Thursday was Joo's I Love A Book Parade at BME. Unfortunately, I had a workshop off campus so I missed the parade, but Mr. Cash was there to take pictures for me. For first grade, Joo had to make a story board about a book. She chose a Junie B Jones book, of course. We had fun making the boards and here is the final product with Joo dressed as Junie B Jones.

Friday was Min's Halloween Parade and Carnival at LHPS. The parade started at 8:15 so Mr. Cash just stayed after he dropped Min off and got a seat in the gym. All grades from pre-k to 6th paraded around in costumes. The seniors were sitting on the floor watching the elementary students. Min was the Star Wars character again.

Mr. Cash's favorite costume was a fifth grader dressed up as a blind ref. Very funny for us football fanatics!! Since Joo and I didn't have school, we went and had lunch with Min and then checked out the Halloween Carnival. The seniors ran all of the booths, which were different games, food and bounce houses/obstacle courses. They even had a rock climbing wall. The students could win prizes at the game booths. Each grade has a certain time to go during the day. Min went after lunch and liked the food, especially the cotton candy, the best. Here is Joo with some cotton candy from the carnival.

LHPS had a Halloween fun day today too, so Min spent the day up there having a good time again. Tomorrow we will walk around our neighbor for trick or treating, then it's time to start thinking about Thanksgiving.
