Halloween !!!

This year, Halloween was so much fun. My roommates and I dressed up as the characters from CLUE. I was Mrs. Peacock. We had a Murders Mystery Dinner a few weeks ago with some friends. It was so much fun. I highly recommend having one! I also made the famous Peanut Butter finger cookies - so much fun!

Halloween Novels

The last two weeks for my children's literature class we read two "Halloween" novels. The first, "Witch of Blackbird Pond."by Elizabeth George Speare and the second, "Westing Game"by Ellen Haskin.  Both excellent novels. Witch of Blackbird Pond takes place during the witch trials in the early colonial time period. The Westing Game is a murder mystery, with excellent twists. Both are great novels.

I just discovered Pinterest, it is so cool. You create boards that you are interested in and then pin photos you find on them. It is so cool.
