有爱的孩子,每天都是万圣节
For working mother Lucy Georgescu, spending time with her kids does not come easy or often -- so when she got the chance to handle school pickup, she knew she had to go all out.
对于职场妈妈露西·乔治苏来说,跟她的孩子相处的时光不算多而又特别珍贵——所以当她有机会去接孩子放学的时候,可以说是不遗余力。
Georgescu, 30, of Downey, California, has worked as a health and safety assistant for 10 years.
乔治苏今年三十岁,住在加州唐尼市,她已经做了十年的健康和安全助理。
Because of her long work hours, she said, she relies on her in-laws to help care for her 5-year-old son, Jacob, and 3-year-old daughter, Cataleya.
因为工作时间过长,她说,她得依靠她的婆婆来帮忙照顾五岁的儿子雅各布和三岁大的女儿凯特利亚。
When her mother-in-law needed to take a trip to Romania, however, that left Georgescu in charge of picking Jacob up from school daily.
不过,当婆婆需要去罗马尼亚度假的时候,就只能靠乔治苏每天接雅各布放学啦。
Georgescu said she saw an opportunity to make the rare time with her children extra memorable, especially in light of the approaching Halloween holiday.
乔治苏说她把这看成是跟自己孩子制造珍贵回忆的好机会,尤其是最近万圣节临近了。
"Luckily my job was able to work with me for those two weeks they were gone so I could leave early to pick up my son from school. I wanted to do something creative and nice for him. Something for him to remember since I never get to pick him up, so I thought I would dress up and put a smile on his face," Georgescu told us on Tuesday.
“幸运的是他们走这两周我的工作不算太忙,所以我可以早点走去接孩子放学。我想要为他做一点有创意的开心的事。”
From Sept. 30 to Oct. 9 -- the last day Georgescu picked up Jacob from Carpenter Elementary School in Downey, California -- she dressed up in an array of costumes.
从9月30日到10月9日—这是乔治苏接雅各布从唐尼市的卡朋特小学放学的最后一天—她准备了一系列的服装造型。
She said that she'd made sure to get permission from his teacher first.
她说她首先确保得到了老师的同意。
The costumes ranged from a Tyrannosaurus Rex and unicorn to a Minion and astronaut.
这些造型服装从霸王龙到独角兽,小黄人和宇航员什么都有。
When asked which costume was her favorite, she told us it was a "tough choice."
当被问到哪套服装她最喜欢时,她告诉我们说这很难选。
"I think my favorite was the last one: Baymax (from 'Big Hero 6')," she said.
“我想我最喜欢的应该是最后一套:大白的造型(来自超能陆战队)。”她说。
"Jacob liked the blue air man from the car dealerships."
“雅各布则喜欢《汽车经销商》里那个蓝色充气人。”
Georgescu said that the parents at the school told her they loved what she was doing, because their own children were excited to see what costumes she picked out every day.
乔治苏说学校里其他的父母也告诉她他们很欣赏她的做法,因为他们自己的孩子也很兴奋地想看看她每天会扮成什么造型。
The parents even helped her document her school arrivals with videos and photographs, she said.
这些父母甚至会帮她把到学校的画面用视频和照片记录下来,她说。
"There's a lot of parents who are unable to do this due to their work schedules, so I wanted to make the most of it. ... What I love is not only will he and I remember, but I think the rest of the students and parents will too," Georgescu said.
“有很多父母工作很忙没法像我这样做,所以我想尽我全力做好。...不光我和我儿子会记得,别的孩子和他们的父母也会留下印象,”乔治苏说道。
"They all looked forward to the next day."
“他们都很期待新的一天的到来。”
