And walking in to school on Halloween with his Ninja buddy.

Quinn\’s school does the \”Longest Halloween Parade in the Conejo Valley\”.  The principal starts in the kindergarden room and weaves in and out of all the class rooms until she has a great big long line of 700 students behind her.

Quinn\’s class.  His teacher was an American Girl doll.

On Halloween night we went out with friends in neighborhood around our school.  We ended up with 9 kids in our pack.   Getting ready to head out.

There was one very popular street where all the houses are decked out and it was a MAD HOUSE.  Not a great picture but look at all these people.

One family creates a Haunted House that is supposed to be really good but the line to go through was a little bit too long for us.

Quinn collected lots of candy.  The switch witch didn\’t visit this year to trade out the candy for a toy but Quinn picked out about 10 of his favorites and the rest will be donated.

Now that Quinn is a 2nd Degree Yellow Belt in Taekwondo he gets to do contact sparring.  Basically kicking and punching each other with lots of gear on.

We just got all of his gear and gave it a test run at home first.    Ready to kick some butt!

And the real thing the next day.  In this match, he was paired up with another 2nd degree yellow belt.  A girl who\’s probably a foot taller and a couple of years older.  And she\’s one tough girl!

In the course of a 45 minute class, they probably have about 6 – 8 matches and switch partners almost every time.  He will fight kids bigger, smaller, less skilled, more skilled, etc, etc.   After the class was over he said he was \”wrecked\”!  But he had a great attitude especially with this being so far outside of his comfort zone.  So proud of this guy!
