Get Ready for Fall Festival!

Fall Festival is right around the corner, October 30th 4:30-6:30! There will be food, games, and the ever-popular bounce house! This is the one big family-friendly event that SBA puts on every year (with a lot of help from PALS) and we'd like a big turnout! It is great fun for the kids and a great opportunity to show off your family to the law school community. I hope to see you there!
Costumes encouraged.

Congratulations PALS alumni!

Congratulations to all the former UW PALS who passed the Summer 2008 bar exam. I looked through the pass list and saw Lisa Kremer, Stasiu Nowak, Lisa Goldoftas, Laura Arras, Ray Liaw, Karen Horowitz, and Daniel Heu-Weller. Please let me know if I'm leaving anyone out! We're so happy for all of you.

Costumes, Costumes...

"A person should always choose a costume which is in direct contrast to her own personality.'' (It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown)

Every year since Nate was born I have had grand plans of sewing him a fabulous homemade Halloween costume. Lets just say that has never happened. This year I'm hoping that his over-priced store-bought spider costume (that I bought to compensate for my lack of crafting skills) will still fit him, especially since he wore it for 1 hour last year after a 30 minute struggle to get him into it. He completely refused the cute little hat part. If I can get up the energy, I plan to dress-up as his web. All I need is a white table cloth, a black marker and 30 minutes of undisturbed time. I think that the time will be the hardest to come by. I had the same costume plans last year, but never got it together.

• What are you guys doing for Halloween? Any good costume ideas in case Nate is too big to wear last year's costume. It says 2/3T, but I haven't tried it on him to see if it fits. After last year's debacle I'm a little scared.

• Also, any ideas about what to do with all the candy that he's probably going to come home with? Last year Brent and I ate it figuring that he wouldn't notice, but since then he has figured out what candy is. I just don't want him getting sick or getting chocolate on the couch, carpet, dog, etc.

Pictures from the PALS picnic in September

Here are a few long overdue pictures from our picnic last month. I took these with my phone's camera, so they're not the best pictures. If anyone else has better pictures, please let me know!
