Costume Day / Fall Party / Adventurers Induction

It was Costume Day at Kevin’s school. The kids could dress up in a costume instead of wearing their uniform. Kevin decided to wear his spiderman outfit (he is second to the end, with both hands in the air). It turned out that two other classmates of his wore spiderman. The question is – who is the real spiderman? Justin’s school had a Fall Party. I had signed up to be a helper in his classroom, so was able to be a part of his first class party. The kids were asked to wear a costume that was a character in a book. They were to bring a book to match their costume. Justin decided to be Winnie the Pooh. He picked out the book, “Try, Try, Again” from the ‘Lessons From the Hundred-Acre-Wood’ series, and brought it to school. The teacher read the different books to the kids in circle time.

The teachers (dressed as Dirty Harry and Clean Harry the dog) helped the kids make turkeys using rubber gloves. Each fingertip of the glove had a candy pumpkin, and the hand part was filled with popcorn. The kids also got to decorate a paper bag which ended up being filled with treats for them to take home. They feasted on apples, grapes, doughnuts, chips, and punch.


Siblings were invited to join in the Fall Party, so of course, Brian came. He chose the frog outfit from our costume box. He thoroughly enjoyed being able to be in Justin's classroom, and played with the trains and cars the whole time there. He lasted about an hour, then got tired and wanted to go home for his nap. I brought him home, picked up Kevin from school, then returned to the party.

He received his scarf and slide, along with an Adventurer’s membership card. The Adventurers were each given a sticker with their name on it, which they placed on an altar to symbolize their dedication to follow Jesus. The Induction was followed by a Family Blessing in which parents promised to always love and look after their Adventurer, because he/she was a blessing from God. We also promised to correct their mistakes and apologize for our own mistakes. The Adventurers pledged to do their part to make their family a happy one. It was a very nice service.
