BOO! You wake up and see a monster on your bed! Whew! It’s just a nightmare! But then you remember today is Halloween and you jump out of bed. You rush to get your costume and put it on then go out the door to school where they will have the Halloween Parade. You think about all the candy you will get this evening! This blog post will be about what happened to me at Halloween this year.

At school we had a Halloween Parade. You put on our costumes in school then you parade down the front circle, showing off your costume. The parents that came to the front circle of the school are supposed to watch you and take pictures of you. Also, in 5th grade, the whole entire grade and class takes a picture of kids wearing their Halloween costumes for the yearbook. It was very cold when we took the picture because the water on the grass in my shoes I thought. After the parade, some people went to change into their regular clothes because either they wanted to or it was hard to do regular things like sit or something but I didn’t have any. Since we were in 5th grade, we also had a Halloween Party at the school by the PTA! It was the Friday before Halloween. There were three prizes : Jordyn got best homemade, Dowlat got scariest, and Andrew got best one. The prizes were Scoop Shop gift cards. There was also a DJ and a person that made us dance something and a girl versus boys dance competition. They handed out A LOT free stuff that was either glow-in-the-dark or had lights in them. There were even games in the gym like guess how much candy was in the jar. There was a giant, inflatable black cat at the entrance that would turn its head once a while that I liked. After school, I went trick or treating. I went trick or treating on Halloween like everyone else (since that is the main thing of Halloween) with my sister and my friends Abby and Zoe. When I went back home, I got A LOT and not a lot of candy I tried MANY, MANY new kinds of candy that I have never tasted since my mom is a ginormous health nut and I used to live in Turkey (no joke) which doesn’t have that much American candy and you don’t trick or treat there. We went from 5:45 PM to 6:45 PM. My sister, as usual, was very loud and annoying and took a handful of candy in every bucket even though there was a note that said take two. Abby’s doctor, Dr. Kesler (like a character in my book Keeper of the Lost Cities except Kesler owns Slurps and Burps, an elixir shop) gave us HUGE candy like how Abby got a whole entire Hershey chocolate bar!

So, I loved Halloween. Suddenly, I wonder what spooky things you did with your friends and family (and how much candy you got!).
