Friday morning Red Mountain Elementary started the day with a fun costume parade. I didn't make it down to Jadzia's classroom to get a group picture because of Cassie's party. After the parade Cassie's class had a party which I was in charge of. Why do things always go better in your mind than in real life. I had asked a few moms to help with the party but most left after only a short time. I hope the kids had a fun time. We did lots of fun things. The huge spider web was awesome. I was busy helping the kids so I didn't get a super good shot of the web and the little styro-foam spiders turned out really cute. We ate doughnut holes, sprite and apple slices for a snack. Jadzia and her class had a fun pizza party. While Cassie was at lunch I went into Jadiza's class and helped pour the soda. Poor Ms. Bickley the boys were bouncing off the walls.

Halloween was great! If it was up to me I'd just make halloween the last friday in October so it was always on a friday. It was so nice not worrying about getting the homework done and to bed because of school the next day. The girls and I had a fantastic time going with couple friends even though I got teased several times about my costume (I dressed up as a runner. :-) Okay, so maybe it was a bit lame but very cheap.) We did our neighborhood which took about an hour. The girls were tired so we came home and they sorted their candy then we went to visit Grandma and Grandpa Kreyling.

The girls went trick or treating with friends

If you notice the paint on the little pumpkins and wonder what happened the girls wanted to paint their pumpkins about a week before we carved them. Pumpkin carving is Jamie's very favorite part of Halloween. LOL!!
