My mom (Nanna) sent Anna-Marie some pretty cute jac-o-lantern halloween "crocs" in the mail yesterday. Anna loved them right away and this morning wanted to wear them to school. They come off kinda easy for a kid hard at play at school, but it's her half-day there and so I just brought along a back-up pair for when she does yank them off or trips onto her face and her teacher's had enough of them.
When I got her to the classroom I explained why I brought back-up sandals. She explained it's a good thing I brought back-ups because the kids aren't allowed to wear anything that is representative of halloween to school...huh? She said jac-o-lanterns are not allowed because they're scary. But Anna can wear a shirt with a simple pumpkin on it. She can't wear a shirt with a scary cat on it, but a regular happy black cat is fine. I think I got a quick mental reminder that Anna attends a Luthern day care/school. Ah-ha!
Anyone remember your witch trial history?
I am reminded to go review my history. Especially Pagan/Wiccan.
In the meantime we need to filter her halloween attire for school...

I think that is just sad. BTW, how did the honey work?
Excuse my ignorance about Lutherans and their fear of Halloween, but WTF? I wouldn't be able to resist pushing the limits of the rules.
School: Your child can't wear that shirt with a skeleton on it.
Me: Why not?
School: It's scary.
Me: Um, no it's not. It's biology.
Now that just silly! I would have a problem with that myself. Alberto loves scary things and wears his skeleton shirt all the time. Good thing that is not an issue for me.
Hey, pumpkins means the fall and harvest season, Thanksgiving!!
