We put off Avery's Monster Mash dance until this year. This year Vanessa had big plans to go to meet up with friends. She loved that all of us could be there too. Zane's costume this year is Chloe's Closet's Jet (blue sneakers) dressed as a cowboy. :-) Vanessa is a monarch butterfly. We scored clearance last year and she discovered it in my closet a couple of months ago. She could hardly wait to break it out for this event. It took everything in her to wait. Zane also scored clearance but this year's choice buys us another year before breaking it out. :-)
Zane saw this inflatable cat with moving head at the At Home store in August. He was thrilled to find it at Avery too. We had to get a picture.

After a trip to eat in the cafeteria, the second graders mostly ran in circles and played chase. We couldn't get our TMNT (Roman), Captain America (Joshua), and Skeleton (Dylan) friends to pose but it was fun to party with them. Eventually Vanessa smacked heads with someone and soon after was ready to go home. I'm so thankful she knows when she's had enough.
