Halloween

Today was our halloween because we will be out of town on the 31st and we had to celebrate it with the kids!

A couple days ago I figured out what I wanted to be, an army person. so I dressed up in my camo pants and borrowed a camo shirt from Lexxy and also her high heel boots. I dont think it was quite what I wanted it to look like but still it was cool.

So my day began at 6 this morning I really think that I woke up up early because I was so excited to dress-up and share the holiday with the children! with my preschoolers I did face paintings it was pretty fun! I drew something different on each of the 19 children I was pretty proud of myself for coming up with that many different things! After lunch I began to set up for my older kids. We did a carnival type thing for them. My assignment was a Treasure Hunt, I wanted to do it outside but wouldn't you know it it rained all day so I had to do it inside. I was kinda unsure of how to go about this. But I just did various activitys in various parts of the room. such as the Hokey Pokey, and Doggie Pile. We each taught all 10 of the classes and it was funny to see each of the classes. The older kids are not as cute as ours and i really would go as far to say not as smart either, but it was cool to teach them once. the younger kids easiler caught on to the Doggie Pile. At the end of doing the various activitys we "found" the treasure which included various shiny yellow things and some stickers. I think the kids had fun I know that I did!

Tonight we Threw a Halloween Party, it was a BLAST! Pretty much we just took pictures and then played Mafia. Simple but it was a lot of fun! an perfect way to end a good day but the fun didnt really end there......

After the party I decided to make cookies to take on my trip with me tommorrow. I asked a certain friend of mine we wont name her to protect her from to much humiliation. She agreed and decided she wanted to make her chocolate chip cookies. So we decided to make hers first. they required butter (the butter is in this rectangle 2 gallon tub) so she litteraly tried digging out the butter with a chopstick. So while she was trying to dig it out it flung all over her face it was so funny! So we got the butter into the mix, and she stired it with some chopsticks. And a chunk of the batter fell on the floor and she just picked it up and threw it back in the mix. She had just been insisting that I dont touch the batter with my hands and she takes it off the floor and puts it back in. So pretty much we made 3 batches of cookies about 5 dozen we are going to be so sick from eating them but they'll be good and its less food I'll have to buy on the trip.

look for new pictures when I get back from Guilin i would put some on now but its 2 in the morning and have to get up in 4 hours.
