Candy Corn

Dad took the day off yesterday to celebrate Halloween.

First Mom and Dad went to Pete's classroom for the Halloween party. The highlight of the event was the candy corn guessing jar. They passed it around the room, and each child got to guess how many candy corns were in the jar. There were about 20 children in the class. Pete announced to everyone at his table that he was guessing 241. When everything was counted, they announced that the second place guess was 200, and the winning guess was Pete's. (There were 226 candy corns in the jar.) Pete's prize was that he got to share the candy corn with his teacher and his class.


Later in the day, Dad went to sit in with Sam's pre-school class. This was good fun, since he arrived during free-play time. Dad and Sam did some puzzles, games, and an I-Spy book. Then everyone did songs together at circle time. In the meantime, Mom read a book and Pete worked on his homework in the lobby.

Then everyone went to do a local geocache. Pete found it quickly, so we all went to the playground for a little while before it was time for some trick-or-treating.
