Halloween

Kason and Anika have been waiting for days for halloween.  Mostly because they were going to have fun parties at school and of course get a ton of candy.  It was the first year where Kade didn't really want to dress up but he still wanted to come with us to see our neighbors and family so I told him he needs some costume.  So the only thing he could think of was a vampire and I had fun putting make up on him.  I'm usually not for anything scary but it is fun making someone look totally different like that and since it is his last year of halloween I didn't mind.  I have to say, the best part about trick or treating is visiting with some friends/family that we don't see every day.  We went to Ehren's coworker's house who just moved into their house 3 weeks ago and gave us a tour of their place.  It was great seeing a house that had all the original appliances/flooring etc. from 1950s.  Ehren and I like visiting with people more than trying to race from door to door to see how much candy our kids can get.  And so it got a bit later when we got done and Kason and Anika were pretty tired when we got home.  But they had a fun busy day for sure.  And bonus - there's no school tomorrow. :)

And oh, back to the High school subbing - the one period I taught today was a joke.  When I thought it couldn't get any easier, I came into the classroom and there was a college student sitting there.  She said she is student teaching this class and I just have to sit in the back and observe her because legally she can't teach the class without another teacher in the room.  It is kind of funny how you get paid for pretty much doing nothing and you get a laptop to go with it in case you're too bored. :) But, it is a good thing I went because I got asked to come back on Monday to sub for an English teacher.  Wonder what that class will be like, probably reading some books and working on more work sheets.
