Tonight for Special Needs we had a Monster Mash. We thought it would be a fun change from our usual Halloween Carnival. I think it went over well. Dyan and Jason brought Halloween Music and we danced. I do mean WE. I haven't danced this much in years. These friends need a little encouragement and someone to lead them sometimes. I had a good time. We lined up on two sides and then danced down the middle of those lines and that was fun. It was also funny because sometimes one of the outside lines wouldn't have anyone in it because everyone would go the other line. We danced while we followed a leader and that was fun too.
Every 10 minutes or so I would blow a whistle and everyone found a circle I had taped to the floor that had a number on it. I drew a few numbers and those standing on those circles got a treat. We had pringles, soda, and cookies. I laughed because when I would call out a number some of these cuties would say they won or call the number out again. It was funny and a lot of fun.
Kimleighel came with me tonight which made me happy. I think she enjoys this group too. Kimleighel doesn't mind me acting crazy either. She just records me acting silly but promised me she wouldn't share. ☺ We ate doughnuts and had root-beer. Someone donated a bunch of pumpkins and those that didn't want to dance painted some. Everyone got to take home a pumpkin if they wanted. I think our Monster Mash was a success. I did have one gal complain that we hadn't invited another group but I didn't mind much since she usually complains about everything.
The leaders cleaned up and by the time it was time to leave my back was killing me. Just a little reminder of all the fun and work I had done. I seriously adore this group of people and love the leaders I get to work with. They all make me smile. ☺
