Our elementary school had its Fall Festival Friday night. It was a lot of fun and rather well organized. The menu was "Walking Tacos," applesauce and cookie. Walking Tacos are a great idea for kids. Clip open the side of an snack-sized Doritos bag (Nacho Cheese was the preferred chip), then pour your seasoned taco meat over the chips, sprinkle with lettuce, tomato and cheese. Voila! Walking Tacos.
Different rooms were open for Bingo, pumpkin toss, Place the nose on the pumpkin face, cookie walk (like a cake walk) to Halloween music, and a craft area to make a treat bag to use later. One teacher was dressed like a pirate queen. She read spooky stories in the library, which was transformed into a spooky pirate ship. Finally all the kids lined up and walked around the building "trick or treating" at the various rooms.
Our kids had a fun time and did not want to leave. Our soon-to-be 7-year-old was repeatedly asked why he didn't dress up. I guess I need to tweak his Weather Channel meteorologist costume a bit more. He wore a t-shirt that said Weather Channel across the front, with his orange raincoat and headphones that look a little like the ear pieces reporters wear.
The three-year-old was excited to wear his "Speed Racer" costume. People would say, "Hey! It's Speed Racer." He'd go, "Thanks for recognizing me." Then he'd say, "Mom! Mom! They know me!"
