First things first...on Friday, I took off a 1/2 day to help out in Jack's classroom. They were having their party that day, and I helped clean out pumpkin goop and such. It was a lot of fun and not crazy at all. The kids were surprisingly well behaved. I NEVER would have paraded 21 kids around the school in and out of all the classrooms, but this teacher did and those kids stayed in line the whole time. Amazing!
Then today was our city's trick-or-treat day. The kids were SUPER excited to get going. And even though it was cold and windy, they barely noticed (until the light freezing rain started...then they noticed). I got some fabulous pictures, but my camera has mysteriously disappeared. Actually, it's not so mysterious. It was in the holder on the stroller, but we think it fell out when we folded down the stroller and loaded it in the van. Steve went right back to try and find it, but it wasn't there. I figure there's a 50/50 chance of whether some punk kid picked it up verses a family. And honestly, if you find a camera, how the heck are you supposed to find out who it belongs to?
Lesson learned: put your phone number on your camera. This is a basic lesson for taking it on vacation and such, but sadly, I never did it. Grrr.
Luckily, I had uploaded my pictures recently, so here's a lovely photo of the kids and Steve with our carved pumpkins.

Oh that's sad!!!! They should just dress up again specifically for pictures!
I like the star pumpkin. They already had trick or treating?! Wow. You definitely need to dress them up again so we can see them.
Great looking pumpkins! I'm really sad for you about the camera and the fact that we won't get to see the pictures of the kids.
A trick for the camera -- on the picture card that goes into the camera (or on the battery if that makes more sense), put one of those return address labels. I've done that with my cameras and, hopefully, will never need it. No guarantees that it will come back, but at least your name is on it.
