Halloween Costume Parade!

Today was Acacia's school's annual Halloween Costume Parade. The whole school, Kindergarten through 5th, parades around the playground in their costumes, while the parents' cameras snap away. It's better than Halloween itself, 'cuz you get to see a couple hundred cute costumed kids, instead of the 15 or so we get at the front door every year.

The girls were mostly the same as usual: fairies, angels, princesses (Acacia and her best-friend Cezanne were gypsies (though, truth be told, she didn't look much different than every other day)). But the boys have a new possibility this year: Napoleon Dynamite, and there were several of those. Lots of Batman, too, with Spiderman largely dropping off the charts -- presumably because there wasn't a new movie this year. But the surprise winner, I think, was Darth Vader -- lots and lots of Darths. I guess the kids were more impressed with Episode III than us grown-ups were.
