Are we too old for Halloween?

The Queens of Mean try to take over again! Today, in Mrs. Rodriguez’s class, we were talking about what we should be for Halloween, until Anna and Joline laughed and said that we are too old for dressing up! Just because we are in junior high doesn’t mean we can’t go trick-or-treating! Dressing up is so fun, and I love sharing candy with my friends. So, Katani, Avery, Isabel, Maeve and I thought we’d do a little of both this year—a little door-to-door trick or treating, AND plan a super fun Halloween scavenger hunt! That way, we get the best of both Halloween worlds!

First, the BSG and I made a list of things that we could find while we were out trick-or-treating—like a broom, candy corn, a black cat, or an un-carved pumpkin. Then, Halloween night, we’ll try to check all of those things off the list as we walk our trick or treating route! I can’t wait to see everyone enjoying Halloween. Katani is going to make the BSG's costumes but we are all going to help. We called a special meeting in the tower and agreed to do a Wizard of OZ theme (it was really Maeve’s idea of course). I am the scarecrow, Maeve is Dorothy, Katani is the tin man, Avery is the lion, and our little Mr. Martay is Toto! Oh, and Isabel is Glinda, the good witch.

Maeve typed out all the items on scavenger hunt list on her computer, and here is what we came up with so far:

1. Black cat
2. Cornstalks
3. Broom
4. Candy Corn
5. Candy apple
6. Two un-carved pumpkins
7. Scarecrow (besides my costume!)
8. A witch costume
9. A ghost costume
10. A pirate costume

I am so glad that I stuck up for Halloween, especially since my friends helped me do it. You can even do a scavenger hunt of your own in your neighborhood! Make up your own list, and try it out with your friends!

you tell us ...

What would your Halloween Scavenger Hunt list look like? Or, do you think you ARE too old for Halloween?

	You are never to old for Halloween, if your parents say that, well then get dressed up and give out candy make it fun for the kids like it was fun for you! That's cool, too. If you feel weird about trick-or-treating, why not get all dressed up and make it fun for the kids who come to your house? You can give them some special Halloween memories that they won't ever forget! Your friend,

My friend always hosts a super fun Halloween party and invites the whole grade. We eat candy, have a dance contest, run around and have an awesome time and play lots of fun games! The party is always about half an hour after school so that when the party ends their is still time for some trick-or-treating! smilies/cheesy.gif

Dear sammi32195,

That sounds so super fun. Too bad Halloween is only once a year!

	#1 rule: U can't trick-or-treat unless u are dressing up! If you're not in costume, its basically like stealing candy from innocent people. Don't you think?
