Happy Halloween!!

Ahhhh...Halloween. My least favorite holiday, and the one the boys live for! As you all know, every day is Halloween in Adam's world! I tried sooooo hard to convince Adam to be Capt. Jack Sparrow, since, for his birthday, Grandmom bought him the costume from the Disney store and Aunt Jean bought him the hat and wig. But no way. He wanted to be Anakin Skywalker and there was no talking him out of it. So, Anakin he was. Andrew was easy. He couldn't wait to be the "kid abducted by the alien" that was Russell's from a few years ago!

Speaking of Russell....since he is the cool 8th grader, he is way too cool for "costumes". But, St. Margaret's really does it big on Halloween. So, Jean came up with the idea for him and his friends: The Verizon Network. It really was a cool idea!

He's Got the Whole World in His Hands!

Andrew's 2nd grade class recently read Ready Freddy and the Pumpkin Elf. In the story, the class has a pumpkin decorating contest. So, Andrew's class thought that would be a great idea.

We talked about what he wanted to do and some of the ideas he kicked around were: a soccer ball, a baseball, a monster and a globe. He decided on the globe. We spray painted it blue, Doug drew all the continents on it and Andrew painted them and labeled them. We think it came out great! The class will vote for their favorites on Wednesday. There were a lot of very clever ideas!
