definitely a TREAT

today the boys celebrated halloween at school

unfortunately i didn't get to be with drew -
BUT ...
i did get to help quite a bit with the fun (and planning) in ben's classroom



i love when teachers give me room to help them plan the parties ;)
ben's teacher caught on to that -
and it all ended up being a lot of fun!

i ran the craft station -

they made magnetic tongue depressor picture frames and we put pictures of them wearing their costumes inside.
the kids got really excited
(well ... really, what kid doesn't get excited about sticky jewels and sticky foam pieces)

(it would be really embarassing for me to talk about who ben thinks is cute on my blog. BUT ... since italics are just my thoughts and not me really saying it outloud ... meet alison. on ben's right.)

they also played bingo -
(with m&m's)

ate cookies with juice -
and did a bean bag toss.

it's pretty safe to say that we were 'a little' outside of the school district's policy on healthy snacks in the classroom.
BUT ...
at this point ...
you can probably guess that i don't really care what they think.

SO ...
glad you had a fun afternoon, kids.
happy halloween.
just remember the other classroom ate apples this afternoon;)
and come saturday night ... if you should get any extra kit kats ...
you know where to find me ;)
