Dem's Funny looking Pumpkins.

After introducing the concept of monsters and Halloween to the kids yesterday, we went all out and made the kids create masks for their "Trick or Treating" that will be going on tomorrow. The Korean bloody lady was quite popular with the girls, with the boys preferring pumpkin masks and Frankenstein. Marc even carved a pumpkin in class with some of the older students. They all enjoyed the Jack O' Lanterns, until the stench of burning pumpkin innards started to fill the room after time. Not a good smell, let me tell you.

It's a real shame that we are getting to the Halloween decorations so late, because after tomorrow, we have to start preparing for Christmas if my childhood memories of toy advertisements are accurate. Actually, I think that is where my deep seeded hatred of the month of "November" comes from. No notable holidays for children, and there entire time all I had on my mind as a child is "Halloween is in October, which means free candy...Christmas is in December, which means free toys. What is in November? Dammit, you suck November!"

Now, I have to figure out what happened in my childhood to caused me to forget the month of September exists for an extended period of my school days.
