Halloween Fun

This weekend was jam-packed with Halloween celebrations.  It actually started Thursday after school with a superhero-themed Halloween festival at our library where kids went from station to station to complete various games and crafts.  Then the girls had a day off of school on Friday for parent-teacher conferences, so they used that time to get together with other campus kids and decorate the apartment for Halloween. They all did especially well with the front door!

That night, we had our faculty trick-or-treating on campus.  Kaelia dressed up as Moana and Taelyn was Mal from the movie Descendants. Then we all headed down to the faculty housing playground for a potluck and photos before the kids teamed up with their buddies and made their rounds to all of the apartments.  We love how independent they can be on campus at outings like this; we even had a little get together with some of the adults in our apartment as we passed out candy.  Then several of the campus kids came to our place after trick-or-treating and stayed for a Halloween movie, followed by a sleepover.

On Saturday, our school held its annual Fall Fiesta where the high school clubs run carnival-type games, bouncy castles, a haunted house, and musical performances for the younger children at the school.  Again, the girls were able to get together with friends and walk around on their own to the various games.  They had so much fun with their friends and with each other.  At one point, they a
ll pooled in their winning tickets from the games and shared some prizes together.  The evening was topped off with a raffle, and I won a free massage!

We had such a nice weekend full of spooky fun.  Happy Halloween!
