I’m didn’t know the kids looked so grumpy in this pictures.\u00a0 I blame that on the sealed container of candy corn someone left in plain sight at the entrance.\u00a0 Don’t show kids candy if they can’t have it!<\/p>\n It was a whirlwind party.\u00a0 Quick pizza dinner, then a quick round of carnival games.<\/p>\n I wish I had more time to set up my trunk – I barely got it decent looking before kids arrived!\u00a0 A lot of the the things I had planned didn’t happen because I had no time.\u00a0 But there were many ooo’s and ahhh’s and I had many kids try to come back for seconds and thirds or more.\u00a0 (Seriously.\u00a0 Ben packed me two 36 packs and one 18 pack of full-sized candy bars and I ran out well before the kids stopped coming.\u00a0 I’m POSITIVE there were not 90 kids there).\u00a0\u00a0 I didn’t have time to replace my fangs or put on black gloves and pince nez.\u00a0 I did my best impression of Sam’s preschool teacher with the thick Slavic accent, put spooky music on my old timey speaker<\/a>, and tried to keep the cauldrons bubbling. I might have sounded like this at times<\/a>, but people seemed to like the effect either way. <\/p>\n The party quickly wrapped up and the boys dived into their hauls.\u00a0 It’s only October 22.\u00a0 I hope we have more fun to come.\u00a0 (Sorry if I sound grumpy.\u00a0 I have a splitting headache.\u00a0 It was a fun but crazy day with a lot of emotional kids to handle for a variety of reasons.\u00a0 I really really wish I could sleep in tomorrow.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Our church held the annual Halloween party early this year.\u00a0 After judging at Amanda’s Speech Meet all day I raided her prop closet to build a spooky trunk display.\u00a0 What good is having a drama teacher in the family if you can’t mooch off her?\u00a0 Sam insisted on helping. \/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js Not long after that we […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-25","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","post-preview"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[],"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/eaumaison.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/eaumaison.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/eaumaison.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eaumaison.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eaumaison.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=25"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/eaumaison.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/eaumaison.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eaumaison.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=25"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eaumaison.us\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=25"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Untitled\"](\"https:\/\/c3.staticflickr.com\/6\/5654\/30465018466_28174ec05f_z.jpg\")
