"Kids are always the only future the human race has."
---William Saroyan
Well today is an important milestone for this blog --it's day 50 so I'm officially halfway through my volunteering challenge. Hurray! Feels like a regular part of my routine by now...but hope I'm not boring readers with too much repetition. I'll continue with the daily quotes, assuming I can keep finding good ones, and will try to sprinkle new info into each entry.
Today was the Halloween parade and party at the Elementary school. Fortunately, my daughter, who was sick earlier in the week, was fine to go today (actually with a bit of a cold, but that's ok, right?). And it's a good thing she was better, since missing this event is like an adult missing a really special event like a movie opening night, or like giving up NFL, NHL, or NBA club level tickets, or something equivalent. I would have been hearing about it all year if she didn't get to go.
The day of Halloween festivities is a HUGE day for the kids, since they get to march around the school driveway and have candy and games in class. They just seem to love it, so of course it was a pleasure being there to witness all that. All I had to do was clean up, and with paper plates and juice boxes that was a breeze. Really, the teachers at this school are amazing, as are the kids. Such an energetic place to be, though with all the sugar in these kids today I'm sure it was probably a bit more supercharged than usual. Still, you forget how much energy these kids have till you spend time around so many of them at once. It's fantastic!
