Ooohhh...spooky.

The Halloween party went well--a fun time was had by all, I think. D and I spent all of Saturday getting ready for it, making deviled eyeballs and finger cookies (so realistic looking, some people wouldn't eat them!) and decorating a bit. Our friends came all dressed up, and it was a fabulous time. I brought the fingers to school today to gross out my homeroom kids. I think it worked. Some of them ate a few.

I am dreading tomorrow. I'm thinking the kids will be wound up, either on a sugar high or a sugar low. Plus, we had a kid from the high school ride by our front door this morning and use a BB gun to shoot at a few of our kids. There's a warrant out for his arrest and hopefully they can get him before he causes more trouble. This stinks--our school has made so many improvements in the past few years and yet we still have a reputation for being a "bad school" because our neighborhood isn't the greatest. We do all this wonderful stuff, our 8th graders had the highest ITBS scores in the district last year, but I'm sure the media will play this incident like the most horrible thing happened here. This is ridiculous.
