Nick's school had an All Saints Day Carnival on Halloween. They could wear their costumes although he couldn't wear his mask. They had a parade to start the carnival off where the little kids walked in a circle around all the older grades while the older students cheered them on. Each grade did one game for the carnival. The Kindergarten game was a cake walk which is why I had to bake all those cupcakes. They had all kinds of cool games, plus a bag making station, and a pumpkin making station and a game where you got to eat all kinds of weird things like mud, and eyeballs etc. In order to play a game you had to give them a nickel or a dime. All the money raised was donated to a local charity. The kids loved every minute of it. Aidan and I went and played the games with Nick too. The boys did the cake walk at least 50 times and never won. Nick cried he was so mad he never won the cake walk. He finally gave up and went back to doing other games. They offered pizza slices and juice boxes for a $1. So we stayed and had pizza lunch with Nick and then brought him home with us since it was a half day of school.
