Avery had their annual Monster Mash last Friday. A couple months ago Vanessa reminded me that she still had never dressed up as Pebbles. So we went for it this year. Zane wanted to be a Power Ranger, that is until the night before I left town for Nashville and after just finishing Vanessa's top. Vanessa convinced him he should Bamm Bamm. Friday, before the dance we whipped up a pair of shorts and leather sash. They had fun.
Much like last year, Vanessa was hanging by threads by Friday night. She was exhausted and you could see it in her eyes and zoning out. Even so, we stayed a little longer this year. The third graders still have a thing for chasing each other in circles instead of dancing, especially the boys and Vanessa. And free access to the wall climbing thingy remains a hit.
