Halloween

Halloween is a celebration here. We have costume contests, classroom parties, and trick or treating. This year I was able to get a pumpkin to carve with my class. It took longer than I though! It was way too long for the 5 year olds. Their attention span was short. They designed the pumpkin while we reviewed shape and voted on different designs. I didn't know what I was going to be until the morning of. Jason and Myra got me a grandma wig in Anchorage so I was thinking...An exercising grandma..Yes..that is what I will be. I mismatched my clothes, put long underwear under shorts, stuffed my back with a pillow to have a hunch back, and stuffed by belly with a pillow also. I have to say along with the hidieous makeup and acting like fool while parading with my class for the costume contest, it was a lot of fun. My kids are still talking about it. I guess I acted so well and looked like a darn good grandma, I won first place and got red, big Coleman cooler with a smaller cooler and thermos inside. What a blessing! Enjoy the pics!
