Wait, I thought they said "No Halloween?"

Do you remember the shoe incident at Anna's daycare (click here, if you need a refresher)? Jac-o-lanterns are too representative of scary, satanic halloween apparently.

So imagine my surprise as I got a peek into their art room as Anna and I were walking down the school's hall this morning when I saw wicked, scary halloween witch pictures all laid out for the pre-K kids to color and paste for art class! If that's not traditional scary halloween, then I don't know what is. Anna's little pumpkin shoes look like nothing compared to this!

Note to self: ask the school director what their real intentions are for halloween dress since it's not clearly laid out in the parent hand book. Not to be confrontational, just to be clear.

No Halloween

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...
