Halloween Spirit

Oh the joys of waking up at 11:30. This week is unofficially deemed Halloween Party week. I have seen numerous people walking around in costumes. Maybe for the spirit of Halloween, maybe because they are going to a party, who knows? All I know is that Halloween is supercalifragilisticexpealidocious. I love it. Ever since I knew what it was it has been something I look forward to all year long. I love dressing up and pretending for a whole day. Candy is always a bonus. I love going outside and just watching the steady flow of people in costumes like there is a Broadway production right outside my door. It exhilarates me. Exhilarates is my new favorite word now.  You may be wondering how any of that coalesces with waking up at 11:30. I had a Halloween party , went to bed then got 12 whole hours of sleep which rocks. That is the connection. I hope you enjoy getting into the spirit of halloween! One of my favorite ways is to watch the Twilight Zone. It is one of the best tv shows ever crea

Well, believe it or not, ( do believe for that is the most fun way to go about things ) you can make flubber! Here is the recipe:  flubber recipe For a fun activity, make flubber, then play with it while watching the movie. I like to take flubber to school to help me concentrate on what we are learning. Sort of like a stress ball.
