Halloween a la Grandma

When your grandma is a retired teacher, Halloween is the best holiday of the year.  Why?  Because retirement means that Grandma no longer has an outlet for her themed bulletin boards, teacher sweaters, and goofy games.  Which means that YOU become the outlet.  Witness for yourself the AMAZING Halloween celebration Liam had with Grandma Olson and Aunt 'Leen (Eileen), featuring an occasional guest spot from Grandpa.

An itinerary was sent 9 days ahead of the event complete with clipart and a list of about 10 different activities.  Here's just a random sampling of what went on:


Making brownies (note teacher sweater)



This game had something to do with eyeballs


Grandpa's big moment
A monster hunts for pumpkins
What a lucky kid!  And Graham and I also enjoyed the day as we basked in an opportunity to hear ourselves think.  


How is Trick Or Treating ever supposed to compete with this???
