Here are some pics from Halloween week. Highlights include:

• Audrey's Kindergarten Halloween party. I am one of the room parents for her class which means I help plan and run the parties. I didn't realize how much this job would entail. Basically, the teacher just sits back and the room moms do everything. It was a little stressful getting 25 sugared up, excited and costumed fiver year olds to listen. They were actually really good. We played BINGO, made a snack and did a couple crafts. Then I was ready for a nap!


• Of course, carving pumpkins is another Halloween tradition, well at least for 3 of the 4 Rapp Family members. Sawyer HATES carving pumpkins. The second we took the lid of his he started gagging and coughing. To avoid the puke fest that would have ensued, we evacuated Sawyer to his train table. He had to stay in isolation until we finished gutting the pumpkins. Then he had to take a picture with his pumpkin outside because he couldn't stand the smell of our kitchen after we carved. I guess next year we'll let him paint one instead.


• Finally, came the big day of trick or treating. Audrey got over 100 pieces of candy. Sawyer got about 40 and told Ben that he had enough candy and that he just wanted to stay in the wagon. The night was cool but not too bad as far as Halloween goes. It was dry and not windy. That's really all you can ask for in Michigan!

Notice I didn't mention the stellar performance of the Spartans this weekend (insert sarcasm). That's all that needs to be said on that topic.
