Happy Halloween!

We're celebrating a day early, because we're off tomorrow for Nevada Day. Woohoo! Can you believe most of our 5th graders couldn't figure out what our costumes were? Maybe we should have laid out like a domino game :)

Halloween Tips and Tricks to keep you sane:

1. Put a volunteer in charge. I always have a parent to sign up as party coordinator at the beginning of the year. This year I used signupgenius.com to ask for volunteers.

2. Stipulate your coordinator to limit sweet treats. I always say 1 baked good, everything else must be fruits and veggies.

3. Sit back and let your coordinator take charge!

4. Copious quantities of caffeine (for you, not the kids)

5. Smile and repeat over and over: "It's only once a year, it's only once a year"
