My Crossroads: costume party

I’m searching for Josh costume for their party on Wednesday. Every year they have this costume party held on last week of October. For two years he used his Robin costume but this year I want another character or another kind of costume. Just this morning Josh was telling me if he could wear scary costume. I told him it will not fit him and I don’t want him to look like a zombie or Frankenstein even on costume only. We were both looking and searching online for possible costume and I pointed out to him that it’s not necessarily a scary Halloween clothes or look but anything that will look like a costume. After one hour of explanation he succumbed and we settled for Spiderman. Of course he loves Spiderman it’s one of his favorites.

Josh enjoyed his costume party at school yesterday. He was telling his grandma (my mom) that it was really fun playing games with his classmates wearing different costumes. I accompanied him on this school activity and I saw that kids were really happy especially when they play Trip to Jerusalem and Group Yourselves games. Actually it’s their teachers who count and grouped them in because they seem to just wander about the circle never minding the number counting lol! Lucky I’m not their teacher because it requires a lot of patience.

Josh and his friend Carl won in the first game that they played so they’re happy enough that early in the program they have prizes already. In the succeeding games after that they just played lightly never really taking the games seriously. Josh was even asking me to pull him out of the group yourselves’ game when he saw the ice cream cart, he’s really a lover of ice cream.

It’s nice that the program lasted for only one hour after almost 30 minutes of waiting for other kids to arrive. The heat was scorching outside the school compound and I nearly fainted because I just came from sickness. Anyway as we reached our house and Josh was energetically telling his stories to granny I felt happy too. Here are some pics!
