The Halloween celebrations started a day early for the kids this year. On Thursday there were the annual Mark Twain Elementary parade and class parties. The parade is a great tradition where the streets around the school are closed and the kids and teachers, decked out in their costumes, parade around the block.<\/p>\n
Here is Will and his fifth grade buddy Austin getting ready.<\/p>\n

Class parties were next. Maggie and I attended both Will and Amelia’s, meaning she had double the snacks and candy.<\/p>\n
Here is Amelia’s third grade class.<\/p>\n

We were in Iowa City for Halloween. (It was a three day weekend and there was corn to be picked.) Here are our little trick-or-treaters, Hermione Granger from “Harry Potter”, Princess Elsa from “Frozen”, and Yoda.<\/p>\n

We went into town to trick-or-treat with the Galluzzos. Here are Joanna and Lucia as the Fox and Gingerbread Man. (Maggie’s not sure about the Fox.)<\/p>\n
