My Halloween Adventure

Ok, so I'm a bit late in posting Halloween pictures. But hey, it's better late than never. I had a pretty good Halloween. It was cloudy and rainy for most of the day, but it kind of added to the ambience of Halloween!! Well, all 3 of us 3rd grade teachers dressed up like the 3 blind mice (do you notice the pattern of 3's? :) ), and our adopted 3rd grade teacher (she actually teaches the emotionally disturbed students at our school), dressed up like the Farmer's wife. In this pic, she's holding our tails because in the poem she cuts off our tails with a carving knife.


Of course, I can't talk about Halloween without posting pics of my students in their cute costumes. I was REALLY excited because this was the first year that our principal allowed the students to dress up. It was awesome to see how creative their costumes were. We had: a werewolf, devil, bride, witch, cat, alien, soldier, skeleton, Hannah Montana, another skeleton, Pippi Longstocking, and a Ghostbuster. I was REALLY excited about Pippi, but most of my students didn't know who she was. One kid asked me, "Isn't that the girl from the Wendy's commercials?". I sadly shook my head, pulled out my Pippi Longstocking video from my filing cabinet and showed my students who Pippi was. Kids these days!

In the afternoon, we had our party where we ate LOTS of food. Look at all the food that was donated!! I loaded my students full of lots of sugar, and then happily sent them home for their parents to deal with their sugar highs! :).

During our party, we also watched "The Charlie Brown Halloween". There's nothing more Halloweeny than that! Notice the anciently old brown paneling on my classroom tv! :)

As for Halloween night, Sam had inventory at work and he didn't get home until around midnight. So I went over to my parents' house, where we ate lots of candy and watched lots of cooking and home decorating shows! What a night! Until next year!!!!
