Although a few days late, we were at a Halloween party this evening at Freya’s nursery school. Jo had spent a fair few hours on the floor and in front of the sewing machine making Freya’s Yoda costume. I must say I was impressed at just how good a costume it was, considering the time/money spent on it.
All week Freya had been reluctant to try on the costume, but when we arrived, she had no problem with it, and must have relaxed even more when she saw all the other children (and many of the parents) wearing their fancy-dress.
Sadly, Freya did not win the best-dressed competition, nor did we the Halloween quiz. She did get to eat sweets, though, and was over the moon when Emily, a younger girl who has now left the school, showed up.
A big thumbs up, then, to the school for arranging the event, and everyone (excluding us and a few others) for taking the time to dress up.
