Haunted House

This week was pretty busy- we put on a haunted house for the kids and it was really fun. We dressed up kinda scary (black clothes and dark makeup) and transformed Caiti's classroom into a dark pathway around the room using huge poster boards. The kids are short enough that they couldn't see over it so popped up when they walked by and that would startle them. The guy teachers hid in the curtains and jumped out at them when the kids would walk by and that scared them a lot too. I hid around a corner of the walk way and stared at them while making a creepy face and then grabbed them as they finally got the courage to walk by which freaked some kids out so badly they hit me. :P  Jake stood on a chair covered in a sheet with a mask and freaked them out and we had balloons and shredded trash bags hanging from the ceiling and a strobe light and all sorts of stuff. It made a lot of kids cry cause they were scared, including my favorite little girl named Milly. We used to call Milly "Spacecadet" because she would just stare off into space during class until we knelt down next to her and she would grin this adorable little grin and finally say a few English words once we helped her. Now she's much better about paying attention. Luckily most kids had a lot of fun and we had a ton of fun putting it on. My throat hurt so badly by the end of the night from screeching and making creepy sounds.
