A Haircut and Halloween!
October 31, 2007
Today was a day of many costumes. The day started off with Liam getting ready for school, He was not happy at all that he wasn’t allowed to wear his costume. They had a rule this year that the younger kids could not wear costumes. Instead they all dressed in Orange and Black for the day. I understand the reasoning behind it, but the little guy was so excited to get that costume on especially since Ciaran and Finn’s had their costumes on for his party at preschool. I decided to drive Liam and Mackenzie out to their school on the way to Ciaran’s party. In the process my diaper bag/backpack got mixed up with Mackenzie’s school bag and I ended u with her school books and her project that was due that day. She had both digital camera’s that were in my bag. After I got Ciaran settled in I hopped back in the minivan with Finn and headed back across town to school to swap bags. Mackenzie’s friends were giggling, that she had diapers and that I was dressed up. Yes I threw together a quick costume that morning as a “Wacky Witch” wearing Black jeans, an orange long sleeved shirt, orange and black striped leg warmers, and black cape, orange Crocs and to top it all off a bright orange witches hat! Sorry no pics of me! 
After getting the bag situation sorted out we headed back to Ciaran’s school for his party. He looked so cute as MickeyMouse, and had a great time at his little party. After we left, since he was in a good mood, I though I would bring up getting a haircut. I have been trying since mid-summer to get it cut. In the past week, he’s been called a girl on 3 different occasions. Well when I asked him he finally agreed! Here are the before and after shots!
After lunch, it was our playgroup’s Halloween Party. Liam joined us afterschool, at this point Ciaran felt his Mickey costume was too warm, so he decided he wanted to wear his “Pumpkin Jammies”. It was a quiet gathering, but the boys had a lot of fun!
So while at playgroup I found out that our local Mall was having a Halloween Trick or Treating Event. When Mackenzie was younger I used to always take her there. I liked that she didn’t have to wear a big bulky costume, and it was nice and warm. Mackenzie dressed up as the new Pokemon Trainer named “Dawn”, Finn was a Racecar, well he was in his old infant carseat with a Nascar Cover, and Liam and Ciaran were dressed as Race Car drivers. Well Liam corrected me each time telling them hr was “Actually, a Monster Truck Driver!”
By the time we arrived home, from the mall it was getting fairly late and we didn’t end up with any Trick or Treaters! I now have 3 boxes of snack sized Pringles! Looks like the kids will be getting them in their lunches for a while!
It was a fun but exhausting day, I felt like I spent the entire day in the van! All worth it though, the kids had a great time!
