Happy Halloween!

 Today is Halloween. Maybe more importantly, today is Tula's first birthday. Tula is Caroline's Halloween cat. Her mom, Misti, brought Tula to school today for a special Halloween birthday party. Here are some photos from Tula's party and from other Halloween related activities from the week.
