Busy Halloween

We did a lot of Halloween-ish activities leading up to and including my favorite holiday.  Halloween is just fun.  Costumes, candy, pumpkins, spooky decorations, parties - what's not to like?  Plus, I really like that Dia de los Muertos is the following two days.  I was happy to be back to school before Day of the Dead, because they love learning about it, doing art projects with it, and sharing their traditions with each other (my class is usually about 40-50% Hispanic each year.)   I'll write more about returning to work later....
Our October activities included:  Witches, Red Butte Gardens After Dark, Witches Night Out (party I went to,) Pumpkin party at Sam and Isaac's school, Trick-or-Treating at Wheeler Farm, Halloween party at the KP's Wasatch Presb. Church, and of course, Halloween trick-or-treating and hanging with the neighbors.
Here is a photo summary of our last two weeks:

Isaac and Quinn at Red Butte Gardens After Dark.

There were a lot of fun activities, including painting pumpkins, making a were wolf mask, making a vial of herbs to ward off vampires, creating a lantern to send off into the pond, and more.  So much fun :)

Trick or Treat at Wheeler Farm

We had to take this costume off pretty quickly, because he wasn't a fan of the bulk.  Makes me nervous for heavy coat weather.  Boo.

Cute kids :)

Isaac trying to eat a donut on a string at one of the parties....good times.

I think he successfully got one nibble.  Luckily, he did not want the entire donut after :)
