I love Halloween. I love dressing up and I love candy. I was Dooneese - Kristen Wiig's SNL Lawrence Welk show character with tiny hands - for Saturday night festivities. But that costume didn't really feel school appropriate, so I went through all of my costume clothes last night to put something else together. I combined a skirt from being a dragon-ballerina, a shirt from being a tree, and my gold wings from being a snitch and called myself a tree fairy. I think it worked. I put it on during lunch (because we weren't allowed to wear them all day), and went to pick up my kids, and they were all very excited and showered me with compliments. Except that they kept calling me Tinkerbell. I am decidedly not a fan of Tinkerbell, so I was sure to distinguish the difference.
After we came inside, Anna and Kelsey told me, "A boy in the other class said you weren't pretty." And I said, "Okay. But you don't need to tell me that." They proceeded to tell me at least two more times.
The kids were absolutely adorable! Presley was Taylor Swift - complete with cowboy boots, pink guitar, and long wavy blonde hair. We sang a couple of T Swift songs together earlier in the day. It was a real bonding moment.
We had a wide range of kittens, pirates, princesses, Star Wars characters, and so on. And we got to spend our afternoon having a parade around the school to see everyone else's costumes - which is something that I wish adults would have too.
Happy Halloween!!
