Halloween is one of my personal nightmares. I didn't love it as a kid and have learned to hate it as a teacher. Being a behavior specialist has simply cemented the whole negative deal.
Minneapolis, as a school district, has put it's foot down and told everyone no Halloween celebrations this year. Okay, all that really means is rename it a harvest party and nix the costumes.
The kids were higher than kites these last two days, but there is a ton of good news.
There were only two candy related incidents at work, unless a seizure can be brought on by sugar.
We live in a secured condo, and there is no way there will be trick-or-treaters knocking on our door tonight.
Dennis bought one of our favorite types of candy to hand out to all of these non-existent kids.
Monday is a record keeping day, which means the kids have an extra day off to scarf down all that sugar before returning to school.
Okay, the Halloween curmudgeon is signing off for the day. I have a glass of wine and a milky way to keep me smiling tonight.
Until Tomorrow,
Ann and Dennis

PS I like Halloween..time for magic..and partying..and being allowed to eat candy;)
We usually have a Halloween party with my group of children at the pre-school. They wear costumes, if they like. And we dance and so on with the kids. They get popcorn, carrots and cucumber slices with dip. Some of the girls dress up as princesses and they´re so cute. And I get to be a real witch once a year..I mean really look the part :) It´s fun.
I know there´s alot going on,too. But it can be fun..lots of hugs!
