Trick or Treat
Bibbity-bobbity-boo!
Last night, my school had their annual "Trunk or Treat Festival." I'm not really sure why they call it a "Trunk or Treat," because there aren't any cars involved...certainly no trunks. Instead, the hallways are lined with decorated doorways, teachers dressed up in costumes, and fantastical displays of creativity, like the tea table in Alice and Wonderland, and the complete cast of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
We decided on a Cinderella Theme. I like the Cinderella story...what girl doesn't...but the main reason was because we had outfits that, with only a little modification, could be transformed into passable Cinderella characters.
My Jane's costume was a gift from her Nana last year, and other than wearing it around the house, this was it's debut. It was the only costume I didn't make.
The evening was fun, although a little overwhelming...crowded, hot hallways and hundreds of kids wearing masks would be enough to unnerve even the most hardy of costume and party fanatics.
Most everyone, child and adult alike, knew my daughter was Cinderella and my husband Prince Charming, but only a few adults guessed correctly who I was. The children were completely stumped....which leads me to believe I didn't succeed in my costume making endeavor. :-( Can you tell who I'm supposed to be?
