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!

PALS Picnic on Sunday

We're having our annual picnic to welcome the new 1L parents this Sunday, September 7, from 12:30-2:30 p.m. We'll be at Cowen Park -- you can see it from the corner of NE Ravenna Blvd. and Brooklyn Ave. It has picnic tables and a nice play area.

Bring your kids, partners, and anyone else on your support team. It would be great if you could also bring a snack for sharing. We hope to see everyone at the picnic!

Please RSVP to Christine: porterc@u.washington.edu
