Run run as fast as you can...really!!

Halloween is always an exciting part of the year. Especially when Karl comes in the day before Halloween with a long roll of brown paper and a fantastic idea! He told me that the Ginger Bread Man would be a lot easier to create than Waldo, but he would need my help. I will admit, when he told me what he was planning I looked at him in disbelief. How could the Ginger Bread Man be easier than Waldo!?
Three hours later (11:30 p.m) after lots of cutting, crunching, stapling, and coloring we came up with this exciting costume. Does this look more like an innocent Ginger Bread Man or a horrifying kung fu clown?
Note to self, when Karl comes in with a great idea right before Halloween, tell him how I really feel about the idea before we get started.

note from Karl, I did say that she could leave, and she didn't have to help. It was an awesome idea in theory, but maybe not in practice, or the day before the event. :) Lesson learned
The students loved whatever we created and after all the hard work that is what it is was really about. I admire Karl's attitude to connect with students and his passion to make them enjoy coming to school.

Great costume, although, really? is that a ginger bread man? that wasn't the first thing that entered my mind when i saw the pictures. more like the abominable brown turtle.
