In the stores, that is...
Anyone a fan of Christmas decorations on the shelves on or before October 31st?
ITS HALLOWEEN, for Pete's sake!
On the 30th, Troy and Jessica attended the Halloween party in Ava's class.
The students played the memory game with Ed Emberly picture cards...




Made paper bag jack-o-lanterns...

And mosaic pumpkins...

Black Snacks were on the menu at the snack table...
* Peanut butter and blackberry goo (fruit spread) sandwiches
* Ogre earwax (cheddar cheese cubes) with bat brains (black grapes)
* Blackbird eggs (black olives)
* Magic wands (pretzel rods with vanilla icing and sprinkles)
Good Stuff!
After school, Jessica took a nap while Troy and Ava worked on their pumpkin art...







On the 31st, there was trick-or-treating with the cousins
along with a celebration for Nonnie's birthday...
Ava was a Monarch butterfly...

Zane was Superman...

Isaac was a train engineer...

Lilyana was a bee...

Nonnie and her little cuties...

The Main Event...





Auntie Sarah made a delicious pudding dessert for Nonnie's birthday...

Nonnie was serenaded with the birthday song...

So many treats!

Papa's grandbabies just can't NOT harass him...

Nobody wants to part with their Nonnie at the end of the night...

The inevitable sugar C-R-A-S-H...

UNTIL NEXT YEAR...
HAPPY HALLOWEEN (AND MERRY CHRISTMAS) !
