Happy Halloween!

It has been so busy and fun this fall!  Last Friday night, Emma had her last 4th Friday performance in Westerville for this year.  It was called Midnight Madness and many of the local businesses join in on the fun with sidewalk sales and lots and lots of food!  It was a little oool but all the dancers had a great time and did very well with their new dances!  Very proud of my Emma!

On Sunday, our church had a "trunk-or-treat" for the kids and it was a big success!  We decided to let the kids do whatever they wanted to my trunk and we just used our current fall/Halloween decorations.  They received lots of candy and had fun looking at all the cars!

Then this Halloween it was a little windy and rainy but the kids and I were troopers.  Erik stayed home to pass out candy but we only had a couple of trick-or-treaters.  We usually do not get many due to all of our neighbors are "snow birds" so they leave for most of the fall and winter and it is dark in our cul-de-sac.  Oh well more candy for us.  The kids still received a ton of candy which we will be giving away most of it!

Today was Fouse's Fall School Party.  I was the party coordinator for both!  It was a little tricky but I had many parents to help me with going back and forth!  Ethan's class needed more help since they were doing a a craft, BINGO, coloring and musical chairs AND I only had 2 parent volunteers.  Emma's class was pretty easy since they ate and made rainbow looms.  They LOVED it!  

Plus Emma was awarded to go to a Leadership Conference all day with all of WCS for 3rd, 4th & Fifth graders.  She wrote an essay about community involvement and it was chosen.  She was very excited to attend this meeting and she saw friends from other schools.  Happy little girl!
