Sophie's Blog: Tell us about your Halloween costume. Describe it in two sentences. Why were you so excited after skating today? What did you and Rob work on? Why does Elliot celebrate his Bar Mitzvah?

My Halloween costume, is a plain dress with gold rope, as a belt. It has gold fabric draping over it, and a white train in the back. It also has a gold and white sparkly vale, with an owl trick or treat bag and gold leaf crown. Because I did free dance with Rob and he made up a routine that he said was good enough to test. Elliot celebrates his Bar Mitzvah because he is Jewish.
