Happy Autumn Festival!

I went to Little A’s parade and party at preschool. It was a lot of fun. I saw fairies, firemen, even a bullfighter. And Little A was in all of her Dorothy glory (complete with her silver shoes, in keeping with the 1900 book). That book came out 12 years before my oldest grandmother. And a whole lotta years before my parents.

In keeping with school political correctness, the whole thing was referred to as Autumn Festival. Never mind that it all took place on October 31. It was rainy so we paraded indoors. Then the kids sang all of their Halloween Autumn Festival songs.
