Halloween Dancing and Trick or Treating

We had a great Halloween.  Starting with a play date with some other homeschooling families.  We had a great time.  After that we stopped by work for a few minutes, then off to Grandma Pat’s house to get ready for dancing lessons. 

Any guesses on what I’m dressed as???  I’ll tell you at the end of the post :)

Trick or treating and the spooky pumpkins.

 

I was dressed as a homeschooling mom… the stereotypical one at least.
