For Halloween, the preschool Marcus and Cale attend have a "Miss Spider's Tea Party". It's their way of letting the kids dress up while setting limits on what the costumes can be. The kids get to dress up as whatever insect they want. Upon repeated questioning, Marcus and Cale said they wanted to be grasshoppers. They were very excited about the costumes, which we just made from green sweat suits and green chair foam. M&C both wore their costumes for school, but as soon as we got home, stripped them off. They were too hot! Also, Marcus actively participated in the costume parade without crying or being held by his teacher. We were so proud and caught the moment on tape. Not too much trick or treating happened this year since we had church that evening. That's okay, we'd rather delay the overabundance of candy until next year. I'm throwing in a funny picture of Ewan too-I love how his hair sticks up in this one!
