Halloween

Halloween = fun + candy

This year the junior high had Halloween a little early. The students dressed up, decorated pumpkins and their classrooms, and went through an amazing, over-the-top, scary, fun, artistic, professionally done spook alley. The spook alley was all thanks to the Parent Council president with an artistic mind that loves Halloween, Letje Gibb. She recruited lots of parents who spent lots of hours getting it ready.

Austin was in the entrance of the spook alley. The artistic ladies did his face with toilet paper, white glue and Halloween make-up. He was in a chair in a corner and then he started to move and lots of kids screamed. They only knew who it was because of his voice.

Do you like my prom dress from high school?


I helped at the picture booth after the kids went through the spook alley.

PUMPKINS
We grew pumpkins in our garden and we actually got a couple good ones. But they never turned orange. So we carved our green Canadian pumpkins.

Carly, the clown (with our green pumpkins and the first real snowfall of the year)


We went to the elementary school to watch the costume parade. It was fun.

Carly and Lucy ready to go trick-or-treating. Jill and Jami Berry stayed home and made crafts. Hanna did a bit of town trick-or-treating with her friends before we picked her up to go country trick-or-treating. We like country trick-or-treating. People are really excited to have kids come. They give great treats. It is warmer because we drive from house to house and most of the time they say, come in, and you go all the way into the house to get your treat.
We only went to 15 houses and filled our bags.

We got home and Jill and Jami were all dressed up and begged to go trick-or-treating. I agreed (bad idea) to take them to a couple houses. I took them to 3 houses of people we know. Funny kids.

And that is how we celebrated Halloween this year. Let the treat eating begin.
