Halloween is in the Air

This was a really busy week as I had the KPO Fall Special, Halloween activites, time doing mom stuff and our last wedding of the year out at Fearrington. Here is a little run down of some of the highlights.

My good friend, Nice Polido just opened a new business in downtown Carrboro called Carrboro Raw. They make healthy drinks, made on demand with high quality ingredients. It is located directly across from Weaver Street Market, just behind Spotted Dog.


Then, I just had to show this, I think, priceless interaction between a couple of two-year-olds. On the left is Hana, who came here for the fall special. On the right is Leo, my youngest. They are beyond cute.



I think for most parents, Halloween is not just one day. It begins well before with discussions of what kind of costume each child wants to wear.

Amira, after several years as a princess, decided to be a witch. So did her cousin, Vivian, with whom she spent Halloween.

Roman, who is forever making complicated plans for pirate ships, trains and treehouses he wants to make, decided that he must construct a robot costume. He had a vision and the whole family worked together to turn a box into his dream.

Finally, Leo, wanted to be a bat. This was his costume last year, when, ironically, he did not want to wear it. So much has changed in a year as now he can explain everything to me.




Finally the kids new school, Grady A. Brown, hosts a Halloween parade every year. The kindergarteners and all the teachers, who were absolutely dressed to the nines, parade around the bus lot to the loud roar of cheers from the rest of the school. The outstretched arms you see on the right belong to Amira as she shouts to her little bro.
