Frederick Goes to a Halloween Party

Today neither Thomas nor Frederick has school, but Frederick's school had a short Halloween party in the gym with activity stations. Simon and I hate these sort of things but Emily really wanted to take Frederick so he got to go. Here he is, modeling his Wolf Suit. (Reference Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak: "The night Max wore his wolf suit and made mischief of one kind...and another...his mother called him as WILD THING!" Yeah, we've read it a few times.) He is with his teacher, Miss Perkins.
Hmm. I'm not sure I would have sanctioned THOSE sorts of activities.
Frederick didn't want to color the pumpkin, but he did draw a rainbow around it.
Looking slightly defensive (or just very hot and tired) as he snags his second baggy of popcorn.
In the car, with his popcorn, heading home. All is right in the world.

Heading home looks like the best bit. At the party he looks rather puzzled. But then I think I would be too.
