"I was dressed as a fairy," says Tara, who will enter high school next year, and who already takes 10-grade math. "I put my own costume together: that was my Cleopatra dress, from a school project, and I added the fairy wings and halo to make it special. I was wondering when the photo session was going to be over, because I wanted to get out and get more candy. Now that I'm older, Halloween is more about giving candy out to the kids, and watching their faces. It's kind of sad; it's more like reality now. They're not monsters running around, they're just humans in costumes. It's funny how fast you lose your imagination."
