Lisa and Matthew!!
Sitting in a circle telling a scarry story.
Matthew as a Kansas City Chief.
Matthew playing a game at school.
Class Halloween Parade.Halloween started with the party at school. I had been talked into being the head room parent by another mom at school....who originally said....all I'd have to do was call a few parents and pick up the supplies for a party. Yeah....she didn't mention I'd have to send out a mass email through the teacher, shop for the stuff for the party with all of the money the parents sent in (which of course I didn't mind), go to two planning meetings and then put together the goodie bags for 23 students, bring ALL of that stuff to the party on Halloween, make sure we had parent helpers, make sure the games flowed during the party, pass out the snack, etc.....yeah, no stress. But Matthew LOVED having me there and it was totally fun. It has kept my mind occupied with a project lately and that was a good thing too.
Halloween evening Matthew and I went out to dinner with my coworker Tracey and then came home to wait for his dad to take him out Trick or Treating. In years past, we have gone to the church on Halloween. But this year, Matthew wanted to help pass out candy and actually go trick or treating. So, his dad comes to take him around the neighborhood and they are gone for maybe 5 minutes and they are back and Matthew says he's "done". WHAT????? Well, he thought Tracey and I were having fun and playing UNO without him and he wanted to stay home. Yeah...no, that isn't gonna happen. So, we ALL went out and went Trick or Treating.....for an HOUR. Filled up his candy pumpkin and half his Chiefs helmet and we called it quits. Once Matthew got the hang of trick of treating he was totally into and saw his friends out in the neighborhood he was fine. Some of the houses really went all out....scarry lights, crazy decorations. If I'd been a kid his age, I would have skipped the house....but we made him ring the door bell!! So, we had so much candy I had took a ton to work this weekend. Bottom line, Matthew had a BLAST! Me...my feet hurt and my plan of watching a movie got thrown out the window! lol.

Looks like a great party! Good job! I don't think he'll be sporting any Chiefs paraphenalia after yesterday's debaucle...so depressing!!! I can't imagine what this season is like living there. I can pretend its not happening since I have only gotten one game on TV all season!

I hear ya on the volunteering thing--it is ALWAYS much more than you are ever told it will be --lol! It is so much fun--and I bet Matthew was just so darn proud that HIS mom coordinated everything! The pics of him are so cute--he is growing sooo fast and turning into quite the handsome young man! Yep--prom will be here before we know it. Can I reserve a spot to cry on your shoulder now? hehe.
Lisa...I can't believe I stumbled upon this! I stopped journaling for a while and lost interest in 360 with so many leaving!

I read through some of your journals and it was fun catching up with you here. Hope to see ya soon! Christine aka scrapnchat =O)
