Halloween Kickoff

Tonight was the kickoff for our families Halloween festivities. There seem to be a great deal more costume related activities this year than I remember from previous years. We will definately get our use out of our costumes this year!


The kids had their annual Halloween Dance/Party at the school tonight. Abby was here to see them off! Allison choose to be a pink unicorn - possibly the easiest costume we've had yet - and Jacob is Anakin Skywalker (for those of you not quite up to speed on Star Wars - that is one of the characters in the newer movies).


The party was a bit crazy filled with pre-schoolers through 5th graders. It was in the cafeteria complete with a DJ and lots of snacks. We were no sooner in the cafeteria when Eric won a door prize - a school t-shirt. I wouldn't characterize us as being a family who wins lots of things, except when it comes to school. There doesn't seem to be a function that goes by that we don't win something! They had a "craft" table set up which consisted of rice krispie treats on a stick that you decorate w/ icing and all sorts of goodies - skittles, m&m's, marshmallows, etc.


The kids had a great time while the parents were quite too excited to be coming home! :o)
