Halloween

The topic I am blogging about this week is halloween.  I usually always trick or treated until I was about 11 but then I stopped because I didn't want to do it anymore.  The age I thought was too old to go trick or treating was about 11 or 12 but it depends on what type of person you are.  Halloween parties are not my cup of tea so I don't prefer halloween parties.  Instead I usually go to about 3 or 4 different haunted houses around Adrian, Jackson, and Hudson.  My favorite halloween costume I wore in the elementary school was probably a Batman costume since I was into it so much back then.  The candy I liked the most back when I trick or treated was probably the mini snickers or twix bars.  I usually carve a pumpkin every year, it's not the most exciting thing, but I still do it.  I have not carved one this year.

Green Bay Packers vs Detroit Lions

The topic I chose to write about this week is the Green Bay Packers beating the Detroit Lions.  This game took place at 1:00 p.m. on sunday in Green Bay, Wisconsin at Lambeau Field.  It was a very good game mainly because the Packers didnt allow the Lions to get in the end zone once during the first three quarters.  But by that point the Packers were already up 22 to 9 with about 4 minutes left to go in the 4th quarter and the Lions just looked like an absolute mess the whole game.  Of course without their two main wide recievers and playmakers (Calvin Johnson and Nate Burleson), it made the game for the Packers a little bit easier.  The Packers defense only allowed the Lions to a total of 65 yards rushing and a little over 250 yards passing.  The Packers are now 2-2 coming off of a bye week and the Lions are 3-2 and are yet to have a bye week.  Offensively and defensively, the Packers just out played the Lions and the Packers won the ballgame 22 to 9.

Pep assembly

The pep assembly last week was good, but last years was way better when all the teachers started dancing. Yes I enjoyed the pep assembly, the best part was when the students from each grade had to do stuff like hitting the vollyball back and forth while running from end to end in the gym, bouncing on the yoga ball,  digging their face into the cool whip and getting the two gumballs and then having to blow a bubble, and at the end when one student had to throw the football to another student from one end to the other.  The worst part was probably sitting in the bleachers for an hour and a half because your butt starts to go numb.  No I did not participate, nor have I ever participated in spirit week.  What I would like to see at the pep assemblies is stuff involving more of the teachers.  The shirtless crew was great because they make a lot of noise and cheer on their aggies every week.

Dressing up for spirit week

Dressing up for spirit week I think was a big success for all the grades.  A lot of people participated in it and there were some very cool outfits throughout the week in each grade.  Everyone that dressed up gives their class a great shot on winning the cedar point trip at the end of the year and it lets you dress in something different that the casual everyday school clothes and dress in clothes that you wouldn't normally come to school with.
