I realized today why we have all been so sad this week. Halloween was your favorite holiday, of course. I think I was just wanting to get through it again this year. But another "upside the head" moment from you made me realize I should enjoy it, for your sake. Usually it is a crazy day at school that leaves us exhausted, but feeling good. Today was no exception. The children were great and so cute in their costumes! We had fall centers and they were well organized and run smoothly by wonderful, amazing parents, many of whom dressed up themselves. Adorable!
Chana got Charlie Brown T-shirts for us to wear as our costumes, so I felt Grandma Judy with me before school even began. And of course I heard her CCR "Bad Moon Arising" on the way to school. And then, bam, a Kennasent moment! Sitting right in the middle of the floor was a little Strawberry Shortcake girl! And then another... Next to them, a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle. And then, a Superman! So all three of you were represented in what seems to be a resurgence of those characters. So I just let it be.
Thanks for showing me that it can still be a memorable day. I will celebrate (and maybe even decorate) next year in your honor, my little "witched witch".. Happy Halloween, wherever you are, dressing up all the cats we've been sending into your care, whether they want it or not.
