Trick or Treat

All dressed and ready to trick or treat

Haloween night is a much bigger event over here in the States than it is in England.  Many of the houses make a great effort and decorate and all the children go door to door collecting candy (sweets).

In the picture above you can see this year Hannah wore her Zebra costume, Rayna was a fairy and Tyler was a Ninja.

As you can see in the video Dawn probably got the biggest scare of the evening.  Everyone had great fun and the kids now have enough candy to last the whole year. 

Homecoming Week

The Door to Dawns Classroom

Dawn as the fairy godmother

Last week was "homecoming week" at the school Dawn teaches at (Central High).  Homecoming is a celebration of the football team and includes a day of festivities, which included various displays in the school gymn then a parade around the school on floats (made by the students) and finally ending in a football game.


This year the classes were tasked with decorating their classroom doors in a theme.  Dawns theme was Disney and she and her class set about creating their own version of Disneylands entrance.  All of trhe students faces were photoshopped onto a Disney character and added to the door causing much hilarity throughout the school.  

As you can see Dawn was characterised as the fairy god mother from Cinderella.

The football game was a real close game with Central really struggling in the first half.  The second half they found their way and just managed to come away with the win in the dieing seconds.
