Party Time!

 My friend Laura and I are the party coordinators for our local MOMS Club... this year, we arranged to hold our Halloween Party at a local indoor playplace. Unlike other play places, this one has complete swingsets set up inside a warehouse... and lots of room to party!
Above, the costumed boys take a break to eat some pizza.
Below, Oliver and Alex (in motion!) play a bean bag toss game.

 This "Mystery Box" had all sorts of stuff hidden in it-- worms, brains, eyeballs, rat tails-- you name it! The kids took turns putting their hands in the holes and trying to identify what they felt. Gross!
 Ellie was a good sport. So was Ollie!

 And finally, Trenton was chosen as a S.T.A.R. student this week for his efforts in helping others! This is a big deal, as each class only nominates two students a few times a year. Trenton helped a friend by removing a cricket from his backpack and safely putting it outside. The principal recognizes the students during the Friday morning announcements, which are done via video chat. Oliver and I were lucky enough to sit in on Trenton's classroom that morning and take a short movie!
Listen to the principal when he gets caught up in giggles over Trenton's 'achievement':
