Mom's Review of Boo at the U

Last night, we discovered Boo at the U exactly 20 minutes before it started. That was just enough time to iron Belle's costume, grab a sack, drive to TWU and find a parking place. Not terribly sentimental, but it filled a bag with candy. And it was also fun to see all the costumes in one place, although it became more and more frenzied as more families showed up.

So here's the FYI for next year -- Get there early, do it, and leave. That's pretty much what we did. Outdoor stuff first while it was still light enough to look at all the neat cars (trick or treating was from trunks of decorated cars with costumed students passing out candy). Then the indoor stuff as it started to get chilly. Then it was packed and it was time to go.

I don't know what to say about the bounce house and the train. The line was too long for the bounce house and it was too cold to sit outside long enough to ride the train around campus. It was trick-or-treating and carnival games and FREE and an absolute ton of FUN! We even got to see the BIG Denton fire truck -- the cherry on top!

Young Artist Workshop

Here's a blog that has how-to videos for learning to draw -- Young Artist Workshop. I know a local artist who could do something like this!
