Dear Ones,
I know when Halloween became important to us in recent years. Sarah’s attendance at Key School has made it so.
I tell the story that this is because it isn’t politically correct to celebrate any of the religious holidays. So we are left with a few lovely pagan celebrations like Halloween that schools can have fun with, and Key School does that with aplomb. A parade takes place each year with all the students, from Pre-K 3’s to High School Seniors. This is a sophisticated group, there are often some wonderful costumes, full of humor, intelligence and creativity.
Since I plan to take you through all the years, I will step back to Sarah’s years before Key:
 |
| Flower Fairy ages 2-3 |

| Flower Fairy of her own design age 4 |
We started out with Sarah in Kindergarten, with a simple and lovely mod pink kitty cat.

First Grade – things amped up a bit, engineering was involved (thanks Dad) and the Snail arrived:

| A bit more cheerful at parade. Age 11 |
|
 |
| Age 11 again – Sarah and Becky with The Wilf at TLC as Lion Tamers – they made the costumes:-) |
Much love to you all, and thank you for allowing me to indulge in some Mama-Love, Mama-Proud memory moments. And yes, Sarah thought up all of these costumes herself.
Happy Halloween,
Happy Harvest,
Happy All Saints Day,
and a blessed coming to rest for the earth as the seasons change.
