Thomas as Mossy



Instead of the usual ghouls and goblins costume party, Thomas's preschool--the Child Study Center--hosts a "Character Parade"each year for Halloween.  Thomas chose to be Mossy, the turtle who grows a garden on her shell, the title character of the book "Mossy" by Jan Brett.  The day after the Walnut Grove Halloween Frolic, I was cursing that someone forgot to take their big plastic veggie tray dome back home--until I realized that it would make a perfect turtle shell!
