Pumpkins, Mummies, and Ghosts, Oh My

We had a really fun week filled with Jack-O-Laterns, ghosts, bats, and mummies!  Of course we took time out to share a few All About Me buckets.  On Tuesday, we got off to a rough start with the bad weather but were able to round out the day with some very cool stuff!  On Wednesday, our Halloween celebration was loads of enjoyment especially our costumes!
