Xander's Halloween Party

Nick and I went along with Xander's class today. They got to come to school in their costumes and trick-or-treat on different floors of their building. We started on the 26th floor of the building (the Wachovia building) and the views were spectacular! I bet the kids got a thrill out of taking the elevators, too. They got much more candy than they needed and then went to their classroom to change into regular clothes and play outside. Nick was initially intimidated by all the costumes but then had fun, especially since he got a package of Goldfish from one of the "treaters." He and I went to lunch with Erik while Xander's class played outside, then came back for the class lunch which was brought by parents. It was Xander's first time having lunch with his classmates. Their classroom was all dolled up with the crafts they had made over the last couple of weeks: tissue paper ghosts, pumpkin paper bags, paper plate spiders...and ghosts cut out by their teachers, miniature pumpkins elaborately decorated by Ms. Valerie for each of the kids, a picture backdrop which was really cute (I will post pictures if/when I get them)...and more that I'm not remembering.

It was also nice to find out today that Xander's vision is good. Yesterday a nonprofit organization came in and tested all the kids' vision so we have official "good vision" results. And a shiny mouth of crowns and sealants. Oh, well. We can't be entirely perfect.
