Monday's Fun on Halloween

We had a spooktacular time today. The children came in beautiful costumes. They could not have looked cuter. So proud of them. Every child behaved beautifully. We left early early and arrived at our first nursing home in Boonville at 9:30. We brought a huge bag of gifts for the residents that the children collected all month. The residents gave all the kids candy and the children thanked everyone and deposited the candy in a bag to be divided later. We sang several songs and then visited with the elderly. It was a great visit!

We moved on to another home in Boonville and were greeted by some really nice people who took the children's presents to distribute to the residents. We sang, collected candy and were photographed standing by their Halloween display.

We moved on to our last nursing home in Boonville and were greeted in the dining room. This was splendid. The children did a great job singing and gathering treats.

We then went to a nice nursing home in Evansville and brought our presents and were treated with lots and lots of candy. We sang our songs and kissed and hugged and said "Happy Halloween" and then boarded the bus for school.

We probably received twenty pounds of candy which Miss Lisa and Miss Amy separated into separate bags for the kids.

We had a wonderful pizza lunch and then played until our little party. We had chocolate cupcakes and milk. It was a really nice day.

I know our daughter was pretty wore out when I picked her up. She sang all the songs for me as we drove to pick my wife up. She said she had a lot of fun at school, right before falling asleep on our way to go Trick or Treating. She made sure to say "thank you" when people gave her candy, because that was good manners.
