Halloween!!!

Halloween was finally here after watching and counting off days on the calendar. Dahrius was very excited to put on his lion costume and have an excuse to play dress-up. WE had big events planned for the day. First was the Halloween parade at school where all the children wore their costumes and then they sang songs with Madeline, their music teacher. And of course later there was trick-or-treating!

Here are the kids walking out of the classroom for the parade. You can spot the little lion!



Dahrius soon tired of wearing his hood, so he sat for songs without it. You can see he also smudged his lion nose and whiskers by now.

Here are some of his classmates and one of his teachers, Nancy behind him. She is dressed as autumn or a tree or something.


Here is Julian, Jessica's little 3-month old in his Pooh costume. I had planned to also dress up Ranier as a bear, but he was too tired and cranky when time came for trick-or-treating. INstead, I put him to bed and answered the door for kids while Maman took Dahrius out trick-or-treating.

Here he is all ready to go--next to our jack-o-lantern.

Maman with our little lion. Dahrius asked me if I was going to dress up for Halloween, and I said that adults don't typically dress up, though they can. I said that maybe next year I would dress up, and he replied, "Well, you better ask Nana to get you a costume." Nana seems to be the official supplier of Halloween costumes.

More photos of the AZ trip coming soon....
