Estella had not slept over for quite some time, so she was thrilled when she stepped into the house and started running around with the two boys. They only stopped chasing each other when Roxanne called them over for dinner.
After dinner, Roxanne played with the children for a while before asking them to try on their costumes.
The kindergarten was indeed an elite establishment. It looked like they had put a lot of effort into the costumes for the anniversary celebration. The little ones instantly transformed into their characters when they wore the garments.
Archie and Benny both had the same costumes but came in different colors —one in blue and one in green. Not only were they given garments that came with a pair of wings, but they also received a pair of pointy ears.
Despite not having any make-up, the two boys already looked like a pair of elves after putting on the costumes.
On the other hand, Estella was given a long, black witch's dress, a black hat, and a magic wand.
Yet, she looked so out of place when she put on the costume because of the innocent look on her face. It was as if an angel had accidentally worn a witch's outfit.
The children were amused to see each other in their respective costumes. They tilted their heads and urged Roxanne, “Where's your costume, Mommy?”
They looked as if they had just walked out of a fairytale when they had the costumes on.
The little ones could not wait to see what Roxanne would look like when she put on hers.
Roxanne smiled faintly and went to her bedroom with her outfit.
Not long after, she walked out of the room.
Brimming with excitement, the children looked over when they heard the sound of the door opening.
To their confusion, they noticed Roxanne was still wearing the same clothes as earlier.
“The costume fits me well.” Upon noticing the expressions on their faces, Roxanne grinned. “I'll only wear the costume tomorrow. All right, kids. It's time for bed. Change back to your clothes now.”
Archie, Benny, and Estella reluctantly ran their fingers over their costumes and went to their rooms.
