The Halloween Fairy
A cheerleader for Halloween? Trade candy for toys
and books - now that's a fairy.
KJ spent Halloween *week* dressed as a
cheerleader... how exciting, how aggravating, but hey, "They get to make
pyramids."
Anyway, the night was really
fun. A street near us goes all fricking out on this night. The homes are
decorated with lights, smoke tunnels, creepy crawlies and all manner of spooky
paraphernalia. It rocks - and KJ loved it - collecting about 10 pounds of
candy.
Enter the Halloween Fairy - who,
if you leave candy out, will trade you a toy or book and take the candy to
children who couldn't go out on Halloween. This is great - but it's not going
to last. The morning after the fairy came, KJ wanted to know why she was so
heavy (heard her coming up the steps, "doesn't she fly?") and "why did she take
the candy AND the bowl? Where's our bowl?" Man, kids get critical quickly.
There's just no magic in the new world of the 5 year old.
