A couple of Fridays ago was our school Walkathon. A walkathon at our school means that you can run or walk around a little track that they prepare for you. We do it because it's good exercise and we're raising money for our school. We raise money by getting an envelope and you can go around to friends and family asking for pledges. And then, they give you a date to turn in the money. We also put the envelopes on our backs to keep track of the laps we ran. And if we earn enough money, then something exciting will happen. Once, we earned enough money that our school principal kissed a pig! Yuck! And once, she did a cheer, and this year, while we were doing the walkathon kickoff, she competed against other teachers in a tricycle race. Boy, were those tricycles small! It was fun!
Ward Halloween Party
Last night was our Ward Halloween Party. I got my face painted. I bowled with plastic pumpkins. I got to feel creepy things. The people at the booth said that they were: zombie brains, eyeballs, witch's hair, skeleton teeth, and witch's nails. There was a cake walk and bobbing for apples. My BFF did bobbing for apples, but I didn't because, well, one, there was ice in it! And, I'm not really a big fan of not sliced apples. But I did do the cake walk. I love cake walks! I did win. I actually won my mom's cookies, but she gave away my prize to her friend! (MOM'S NOTE: WE STILL HAD A DOZEN AT HOME...IT'S NOT LIKE I WAS DEPRIVING THE POOR THING!!)Well, you read my mom's note. I was just about to say that we had some at home, though. We also went trunk-or-treating. That's when we go around outside to car trunks that are open and saying "Trunk-or-Treat!" or some people probably said "Trick-or-Treat!" My pumpkin was about halfway full, but I will get a lot more candy later!
