Trick or Treat Parade

On Thursday, October 30th, the school hosted a Trick-or-Treat parade for the children. The children went trick-or-treating to the classrooms on campus as well as the administrative offices. Luke was so pumped for this! For a while he kept saying that we were going to "chocolate treat" rather than "trick-or-treat." I would prefer to get only chocolate too!

Miriam was just along for the treats at the parade. You will see her in costume on Halloween! Luke the Protector!

Luke was the only Batman in the parade. Someone asked Luke to say "hello" to Robin. After we left that office, he turned to me and asked: "Mom, where IS Robin?" At the first office, Luke got his treat and then walked to the back of the line and went through again. The man said, "I already gave you a treat but I'll give you some more." He was giving out chocolate so I am not sure whether Luke was confused as to how the trick-or-treating was supposed to go or if he understood the process a little too well.

After the parade, the students went back to their classroom. It took an hour and a half for the parade! Luke was so sweaty and tired by the end. However he found his second wind once he opened the bag and discovered all the treats!


While Luke was opening multiple lollipops, Miriam found that Luke's school has so many fun things to explore. She especially liked taking the paintbrushes out and then putting them all back in the canister.

I love Luke as Batman... that is a pretty sweet costume. Does he wear it out in public all the time? We had a friend bring over her boys on Wednesday and her 4 yr old came dressed in his spiderman costume... slippers, mask, and all... it was funny...

I also think the asian kid dressed as a surgeon/doctor looks really cute too.

I think it's amazing that Miriam was able to keep herself occupied without destroying anything. I think that Charlotte was sent to us to keep me on my toes!
