Just getting ready to finish up my work to head home for Halloween! For the last two weeks, my girls both told me that they wanted to be fairies - all the rage with Pre-K and Kindergarteners. Last night as my older daughter was getting ready to go to bed, she told me that she had changed her mind and she really had to be a cat. Hmmm… She had a halloween parade at school first thing the next morning. Nothing like changing her mind at the last minute!

Although I still had some work to get done and was exhausted, I brainstormed with my husband the best way to make a cat’s tail (try taping some crumpled up newspaper around a coat hanger and covering it with a piece of material or play scarf ) and some kitty ears (cutout from a cardboard cereal box with colored construction paper glued on and attached to a headband) given the late hour. I interspersed my late night art project with finishing up some work (easy to do while the glue was drying) and this morning - my daughter was thrilled.

Entirely worth it despite the last minute effort. Now it’s time to get ready to go trick or treating. And later tonight I expect a visit from the Halloween Fairy who I hear, will be leaving the next series of Rainbow Magic Fairy books by Daisy Meadows. Does she write anything about cats?
