Last Tuesday, the Manlius Library had a special story hour for Halloween, and all of the kids came dressed up in their costumes. We got to listen to Halloween stories and sing songs to get us ready for the big day. All of my friends went to story hour, and it was great seeing them. My mom kept saying over and over again how cute everyone looked in their Halloween attire.

My friend, Mark, dressed up like a little monkey, and Jack was an adorable lobster. My mom and Jack's mom kept joking that they couldn't wait to break these pictures out when we graduate high school. Gee, thanks! As you can see from the picture on the left, Mark and I look thrilled to be posing for all of the pictures.
And here I am with my new friend, Teddy. We might be going to the zoo together on Thursday, and then we'll be able to see some real life animals. Do you think we'll see any polar bears?

After story hour, the moms had another big surprise for us. They took us to the middle school so that all of the teachers could see us in our costumes. Here I am with my mom's friend, Cathy, just hanging out in the counseling center where mom used to work.

Aunt Jen took mom's job at Wellwood, and it was sooo cool seeing her there! Plus, she took my polar bear hat off, so that made me even happier to see her.

A few minutes later, the whole costume came off, and as you can see, I was one happy camper. That polar bear costume sure was hot!!

One of my favorite things about being at Wellwood was hanging out with Cathy. Boy, could she make me smile!
All in all, Tuesday was a great day! I can't wait to see my friends again soon.
