Earlier this month, we had a literacy event at Blake's school which was a fun night coordinated around the book fair in the library. The kids could go buy books and then join us for stories and literacy-themed games. We also had a contest for the best literary character costume. Blake was just going to wear his Halloween costume (I think they make Bionicle books...), but it hadn't come in the mail yet so we had to do some quick thinking. He ended up going as Charlie Brown on Halloween. Think back to The Great Pumpkin and you'll remember that Charlie Brown has a "little trouble with the scissors" when he attempts to make a ghost costume and ends up with eye holes all over the place. I don't think most of the kids got it, but he ended up winning the best costume prize in his category because everyone thought he looked hilarious! I read a story about monsters that I wrote a long time ago to the kids, so I dressed up as the little girl who's the narrator. In the middle is Kara, the PTA president and on the other end is Ragan, the secretary.
