Halloween Party, 5K

Perhaps this is all the sugar talking from the copious amounts of Halloween candy we have floating around, but we are wiped out from all things Halloween. For that matter, October was simply CAH-RAZY, but we know we have to quickly regroup in time for Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Bear with me while we get some things documented before the details slip away. First, William George's 5K class had another fun day scheduled on Halloween. They were honored to get to go trick-or-treating at a local nursing home, where they received lots of candy and passed out some warm hugs. We also took some treats to those sweet residents, such as tissues, sugar free candy, and books.

When we arrived, we commented that the residents sure looked ready because they were already seated at their room doors, candy in hand. The activities coordinator told me that they had been so looking forward to it and had been "in position" for 30 minutes. Our little pumpkins came bursting through the door and made excellent use of their good manners, being sure to say please/thank you. After they trick-or-treated each hallway, they stopped and sang a song for their candy-giving friends.
There was so much excitement and so many hugs, and friends, even some wet eyes.















After a heart-warming visit with our neighbors, everyone returned to school for the Halloween party, where they feasted on mummy pizzas and mummy hot dogs, bat chips and many other Halloween-themed delicacies.







George was thrilled because even Skip got to stop by during his lunch hour.


As the big finale, we got to see this show-stopping performance:
