Shane had a Thanksgiving Feast for his First Grade Class. They recited a poem about thanksgiving and got to cook what they thought might have been at the original feast. His class was assigned the succotash, which he tried, but wasn't too fond of. They also had turkey, cornbread, grapes, pumpkin pudding and of course turkey. All three first grade classes got to eat together, so I think that was the fun part of the day. If you can't tell, Shane chose to be an Indian.
It was my friend Cheryl's son, James' birthday. So he wanted an Indiana Jones cake, which I was pretty worried about. But his cake turned out really good and what do they care, they just want to eat it. The kids had a great time at Gymnastics Plus.
W went trick or treating with our friends and everyone had a great time. I think we have enough candy to last to the next Halloween.
Shane had a Halloween party at school and they don't let them wear costumes. All of the kids did dress as scarecrows for their Scarecrow Program. Shane had a lot of fun and helped me design his scarecrow shirt, by informing me where all the rips and tears go. They also had a Halloween party after their program, which I somehow was put in charge of. It was a really stressful week for me, but what isn't. They got to decorate cookies, make glowing ghosts, and put their hands in the body of my mummy, which ended up being more tedious than expected. The kids loved it all, so it was definitely worth it.
We went trick or treating at the zoo the weekend before Halloween. Alyssa was Princess Leia and Shane was the Darth Maul, better known as the Sith. So they were on opposite sides, good against evil. Popo was still visiting with us, but is now back home, where she is nice and warm.
