Pretending to be.......


Some days my students come to school as there alter egos.  It was the last day of school before the weekend when students could dress up for Halloween.



There is a sweet young lady under this disguise. She is such a good student and to see her like this is quite a shock.  Her hands are so lovely and she uses them as she turns the pages of her reading book.




Another student showed up with here black cape with hood outfit.  She is reading also while the rest of the world sees the call of death.




A less gruesome costume was John Lennon himself, back from the dead.  This student had talked about his desire to be one of the Beatles but I didn't make the connection of it being for his school costume.

It was fun for the whole school to see some of these outfits. It was not a large percentage of students that showed up with costumes.  Honorable mentions of some kids who showed up with good costumes were Woody and Buzz Lightyear.  Also there was a girl dressed in a diner's waitress outfit. Also there was a purple grape and one mask that was too gross to describe.

Sunday night is our time for "tricks for treats" night.  We bought a lot of candy and I will sit out on the front step to await all the beggars.  If I get cold, I will sit inside at my computer desk and look out through the glass storm door.  We have one border collie who will be bothered by all the commotion.   I wish you all a great evening.  Thanks for stopping by today.

That first photo, especially, makes me laugh!
It is so very warm here this evening. The neighbors have told us we do not have trick or treaters here. There is a 7 yr old girl next door and we simply gave her a treat bag after school on Friday (that is when they school had the Halloween party). I do hope you have a couple of your favorite candies in the stash!
