We survived Halloween!

Well, it has been another busy week here in Moses Lake. I forgot to report that Shawna went on a field trip to the Maryhill museum Oct. 24th. She went with her Art class and took a ton of pictures.

This week has involved getting ready for the end of quarter. I spent the last week grading about 70 essays for my English class. I had to stay late at school anyway because the boys had play practice until 5:30 each night. Friday was a report card prep day, but because my grades were done, I didn't have to go to school. Yeah.

Tuesday was pack meeting. Luckily the topic was "Adventures in Books", so let's just say that was a great one for me. I brought in about 20 of my favorite kid books. The best part was that lots of my cub scouts came in and told me they had read and loved some of the books. I love to pass along book choices and see the enthusiasm that follows!

Thursday night was our Stake Halloween carnival. Wow. There was no parking anyway near the church, so Steve and I dropped off the kids near the door. Then we went to park and came back. We had to stay for over an hour because it was nearly impossible to find the kids. It was crazy, but the kids had a great time.

Friday night, my high school ASB officers put on a school wide trick or treat night. They decorated doorways and kids in the community came around to trick or treat. I took Matt and Josh through (with my camera). I took attendance of my students with my camera. We bought 92 bags of candy because usually about 2000 kids come to trick or treat. It was fun, but I'm glad it is over.

Saturday we took the family on a trek to the TriCities. We helped Linda, shopped, and visited family. We got home about 1 am. Thank goodness for daylight savings.

This is the big week for Matt and Josh's play. We have dress rehearsals through Wednesday and four performances from Thursday to Saturday. It is going to be a busy week.

Much love to you all. It is hard to believe that there is only 7 weeks until Christmas. The kids are already counting down.

Have a great week! :) Deb
