Halloween Part 1

Our Halloween festivities began on Thursday, October 29th. Wes' school does not celebrate holidays during the school day because of all of the different belief systems that attend the school. So for the kids who do celebrate Halloween, they do something called "Trunk or Treat" in the school parking lot in the evening. Parents park their cars with the trunks all facing the same direction and the kids can wear their costumes and go trick-or-treating from car to car. I brought the girls out to his school at the end of his work day and we were going to do return some things before the events got started. While we were making our returns at Kohl's, Wes found the baby costumes and begged me to get them for the girls. We weren't going to get them costumes this year since they aren't going trick-or-treating or even have a clue what is going on. However, they were on sale and so cute we couldn't pass them up. *Sidenote: Wes and his some of his co-workers were Banana Gram letters as their costume. It's a game, similar to Scrabble, that they play every day. They used the letters "S", "T", "O" and "P" and if the kids could come up with words using those letters they got a piece of candy. Here are a few pics from the evening....The next day was a records day for the teachers so I brought the girls back out to Wes' school so that we could have lunch with him. We ordered Olive Garden and brought it back to his classroom. It was so delicious. We have been wanting to go there for dinner but every time we try there is like an hour wait and that just doesn't work for us anymore. Anyways, we ate lunch and snapped a few pics in our cute Halloween shirts from Nana and matching hats that we found at Target.
