The State of Hawaii is sacrificing the education of their children to help alleviate the state's deficit problem. Do you see any irony in this? They have introduced Furlough Fridays, 17 Fridays randomly placed throughout the year where no one goes to school so the state doesn't have to pay the teachers and staff. The first one was this last Friday.
My mom always said if you see something that needs to be done, do it. Although I think it's a shameful decision on the part of the state, I saw a great opportunity in this to get a group of Kezia and Ivy's friends together. So a friend of mine and I started Furlough Friday Art Fests. We have 12 kids now. Last week we did Halloween crafts. (I got almost all our quick and easy ideas from www.familyfun.go.com. )This week we are doing Halloween foods. Any ideas?

marthastewart.com has tons of ideas for halloween foods/snacks. I really like the "creepy cupcakes."
I've also seen people make spider sandwiches with crackers and peanut butter and then pretzel sticks sticking out for the legs.
I also found some other great ideas on brightideas.com
I heard about how the state did that. That is really too bad. Hey, if we move out there can I join your group? :)
