Today was our first Saturday at work. At least we had a Halloween party to make up for it!
The bulk of our day was spent making children cry and giving them candy. Our prekinder and kindergarten classes came to school dressed in all sorts of adorable costumes. We did not have regular classes at ALL. Instead we made giant vampire dolls, mummified our kids, ran around and scared them in monster masks, went trick or treating classroom to classroom, played Halloween games, had a costume contest and made them cry again in our playroom haunted house. IT WAS SO MUCH FUN.
Two of the teachers dressed in scary costumes. One of the teachers was a scary skeleton with a creepy mask. The other dressed up like the spooky mannequin we have had sitting in the lobby for weeks. It was VERY funny watching the kids sit down next to the "dummy"...and then having it yell and reach for them. It was amusing watching the kiddies' reactions. Some did not care at all, and were very happy to pose for photos. Others, however...cried and cried and cried and cried. Nick's prekinder girls especially had a hard time overcoming their fear and spent most of the day huddled either in the corner or in Nick's arms as they cried in terror.
There are too many pictures to load - we took over three hundred pictures today. We picked our top one hundred and put them on our facebook if you are able to view them there, and if not we are also loading them to our shutterfly account. We were completely enamored by all of our children in their costumes. It was also so much fun getting to just play with the kids instead of trying to make them settle down and learn.
I'm going to let the photos do the rest of the talking, words cannot describe most of our happiness from this day.
