Halloween fun

 TRUNK OR TREATING

Yesterday, our local elementary school had a TRUNK OR TREAT event.  Think of it as trick or treating in a parking lot with cool decorated trunks!  My kids were able to go around together with minimal adult support. 

Well, after some late night Pinterest searching, my family decided to skip all of the usual ideas.  We picked "Curl Up With a Good Book" as our theme!

My 9, 6, and 4 year old did 90% of the decorating and set up.  I made the big blue sign.  It looked awesome with all of the stuffed animals, blankets, pillows and books.  In addition, I handed out book marks to all of the participants as well as SMARTIES!

Another fun activity is our yearly "special area" costume extravaganza.   We have done the SUPER TEACHERS, TEENAGER MUTANT TURTLES, SEASONS with Mother Nature, and 2016....the FIVE SENSES!
