Osborn Halloween Fair

The Osborn School in Rye hosted a Halloween Fair this afternoon. Alex was thrilled to walk around the hallways of a Big Kid school, like he belonged there. Once he saw there were rides available, though, he headed straight for the bouncy castle. There, he decided to lie down and let the other kids do all the bouncy work.

Most of the games were too complex for him, being set for grade school age. He was able to win goldfish though! The very first game we saw was that of a tot's wading pool containing lots of lots of goldish. He scooped up a beauty right away and I carried said beauty in his water bag for the rest of the day.

But Alex got to ride a cool carousel in Thomas! And he got to win another goldfish (whom he named 'Nudder' as in, 'nudder goldfish). He got to have a hot dog with Daddy. He got to see all of the cool decorations in the school. His favorite part seemed to be playing in the regular school playground. He loved the maze and slide the most.

The bonus was that Mommy and Daddy got to meet Congresswoman Nita Lowey who was out representing for Democrats this year. Some Tea People were seated next to us who were just tuning out what she had to say. We told her we were there for her and the Dems.

Luckily, we left early enough to go to the pet store in Mamaroneck to pick up a bowl for 'Malter' and 'Nudder'. Alex picked out some really pretty teal and orange gravel and a nice clam shell decoration for them. Now, at least Malter and Nudder have a home to go to.

Alex was absolutely in love with them by the time we got home.
