I love Halloween!


Candy, Pumpkins, Crisp weather, candy!!!!

We are having so much fun this week gearing up for the big "Great Pumpkin Celebration" Friday! Today we had an extra 10 minutes before the day was over. I turned off the lights and told scary,spooky stories! They all screamed and jumped at the end. Hee-Hee!
I am making pumpkin cookies tonight for my students. I love these pumpkin cookies. I used to beg my mom to make these every year for my class. 20 years later kindergarteners still love them like me! Crazy, but true I was in Kindergarten 20 years ago.
tomorrow we are reading one of my favorite monster stories and making one of my favorite art activities! Friday will be nuts-o as it being the first party and all, but I will survive!

Did I mention the candy? ohh pink starburst here I come. YUMMY!

Side note: The 'stros made me a zombie teacher today. I wish we could win already, but we will see. I am still rootin and tootin' for the 'stros!

For a little kinder humor:
Today we were writing a story about what my monster eats. I had had one kid write "My monster eats butts." He had a great picture of a monster with a butt beside it. Oh, to be 5! Needless to say, We had to pick something more appropriate for school. Speaking of butts, I learned a new word for the "b" word-/boo-talk-is/. See even I can learn everything I need to know in kindergarten!

Yummy! Mommy's pumpkin cookies. I am sure you will have your share of starburst too, and those poor trick-or-treaters will have the orange and yellow ones right? Miss you.

Kids are so cute! I'm glad to find your new blog. I was worried that you had taken it off, and I would miss keeping up with you. Hope your week goes well. Happy Halloween! Have fun today!
Love you!
