Halloween

We had a fun and festive Halloween (even if it was on a Monday, which is the worst). It did mean that we got to spend a Saturday night carving pumpkins and listening to the Halloween record, so that was a bonus! 

Hard at work on digging and designing!

Our finished products ... Emma made the ghost, Sara's was the Taylor Swift tribute, and Steve's was the hand coming out of the ground (running inside joke around here). So I got stuck with pumpkin face.

I was just planning to wear a Halloween shirt to school, but Sara insisted a costume would be better so she crafted me an outfit ala Taylor Swift's "You Belong With Me" video. It turned out to be a huge hit at school (as she knew it would) and I had a super fun day. Played some games with my staff and students to keep the festive feelings going!

Taylor and Taylor (the next day her new tour dates were announced and we're hoping to snag some tickets this week!)

The Daffron Dad's Club wore costumes to open car doors at carpool the morning of Halloween. Emma was sure that Steve would humiliate her and tried to talk him out of going. I'm glad he went anyway!

Sara went trick-or-treating with friends; Steve and Emma went through our neighborhood together; Jim and I stayed home handing out candy (and ringing doorbell made for an exhausting night for Jim).

Now here we are nearly to Thanksgiving. My favorite time of year!
