Halloween is so exciting for the children. As one little girl put it. “You can go around and ask for candy and you don’t even have to pay for it.”
One little boy was upset since his mom said he had to walk to go trick or treating. He had wanted to drive his power wheel truck cause. “It goes with my mechanics costume.” One little girl was upset because her hair hadn’t grown long enough for her princess costume. Another little girl comforted her. “Even big stars like Barbie have to wear a wig sometimes.” Some of the costumes at the library Halloween party were incredible. Thanks to everyone who came. It was noisy but I hope everyone enjoyed themselves.
