Posted on Nov 01, 2008 under Homeschool | No Comment

Halloween week! We read LOTS and LOTS of Halloween books, did crafts, went to many parties, hosted one of our own, one birthday party, Hallowe’en at Greenfield Village, Trick or Treating, visiting with lots of family, carved jack o lanterns and had lots of general Halloween fun!! We made glue ghosts and goop (lots of glue use this year…), sang pumpkin songs, watch the history of Halloween online, made apple pies, did lots of print ables, a fun week all in all! Ready to take next week off!!

We did some new things this year. I don’t know if it was right or not. We let the kids eat all the candy they wanted on Friday and that was it. The candy is gone. We NEVER let them have unlimited amounts of crap, ever. But I didn’t was a 2 month battle of begging for candy. I guess we’ll have to decide if we’ll do it again next year. But I don’t know…they really ate a lot of candy.
