Freakish Fall

As previously mentioned, we have been having some beautiful fall weather, but these past few days have been almost eerily warm. I spent an hour this afternoon reading in the sun in shorts and a t-shirt! In late October! I also took the chance to take a nice long walk in the forest, as we are changing the clocks tonight and it's going to start getting dark at 5:30 or 6. (or should I write 17:30 or 18:00?).

On Thursday I experienced my second early Halloween celebration, as the first graders had their Halloween parties that day. It was really fun to see the kids all dressed up, and our over-achieving room mothers did an excellent job planning the parties! They played games, did crafts, ate properly-themed candy... it was great! One little girl, Bailey, was dressed like Pippi Longstocking! What a blast from the past!! I have posted a few pictures from that day, and I have also posted pictures from Monday's UN Day celebrations. I figured it was about time I posted some pictures of these kids!
