costumes

Halloween, October 31, 2007: my daughter’s 4th birthday. Well, this year won’t make up for last year’s birthday. I was still too new at the call center and couldn’t get the night off. So her birthday was quickly opening the gifts I got for her while she ate her tiny chocolate cake ~ all before I ran off for work. I didn’t even have time to make her a proper costume that year! Er, to wear to day care since I couldn’t take her trick or treating! Ya, kind of crappy. My only saving grace was that she was turning 3 that year and still didn’t have a handle on what birthdays are.

My three-year-old is really into building implosions and the like, and declared that he wanted to be a building for Halloween. He does an imitation of buildings crashing down that's not to be missed. I tried to convince him that he wanted to be something easily purchased, like Thomas the Train, but no way. A building, and that's that.

So on the Sunday before my induced birth of my baby girl (she's one week old today, more on that when I have time to tie my shoes and such)I stuck felt windows, doors, flames, and the words "[my son's name] Tower" on a gray sweatsuit. I was afraid he wouldn't like it but he LOVED it. Wanted to wear it right away and has worn it since as well.

Tonight my son's elementary school had a benefit type thing at the local skating rink. For everyone that attended from his school, they would give his school a dollar.

It was kind of Halloween themed. They wanted to kids to come in costume. My son's costume was a power ranger spd costume.

This was the first time we had went to this skating rink. My son is six and hasn't been skating before. He got the skates on and skated on the carpet, but wasn't to interested. They have a huge play area in the back which I think is awesome.
