The Skunk and the Monkey!!!!!!!
We have learned a lesson in association this week. When Mary first tried on her Skunk costume, we were with her cousin Tristan, who was also trying on his costume for the first time. We were in Old Navy and the two of them chsed each other through the store hugging each other dressed up as a Skunk and a Monkey. It was very cute... Neither of them wanted to take the costumes off, even though they were super hot!
Then when they tried the costumes on again, we were going to a Halloween Party at City Hall that Mayor O'Brien, the mayor of Ottawa, was hosting. This party was okay, but it was super hot for all of us and a lot of miscommunication happened between the staff which frustrated the adults. But the kiddos got to see an alligator, some snakes, a turtle (which were all live!) and then they alsso saw Mickey Mouse, The Giant Tiger, some Pigs, goblings and many other funny looking things! We also found out that Mary and Tristan LOVE popcorn! You will see them below sharing a plate of it from another party!
The next day Tristan and Mary went to the Kids Halloween Coop party that was held in our community center. That was lots of fun. They got to decorate cookies, make magnets, enter a colouring contest, play musical chairs AND hot potato! What fun! Tristan won a costume contest and Mary won a candy counting contest... cause we need more candies here!
YAY BUO/Grampa are here.... There respective names for my Dad!
Notice the awesome Banana that the Monkey brought and if you look closely at the Skunks bum, don't get too close! You will see a little heart tattoo that says L'il Stinker! The picture below is a little better...
This was TT's alternate costume.... A Leafs fan!
And we thought that it would be the two Munchkins that were exhausted after the two Halloween parties in less than 24 hours... Nope..... It was the Tia Fanny and Poppa!
Needless to say that when we told Mary on Thursday that the next day was Halloween and that she would be wearing her costume she thought that TT (her name for Tristan) would be coming and she got very excited! Then came time for the Mary to don her costume yesterday for Daycare, she wanted to know when Tristan would be arriving! And then we got home and told her that her Grampa and Abuela would be coming with her Great Tia's, she was sure that TT would be coming too! I have heard from Marcy (TT's Mom) that TT was doing the exact same thing.... Poor things... they did not get that even though EVERY other time they wore their costumes and talked about Halloween, their cousin was there... except on the big day itself!
I do believe that they had a good time anyways though... but that will teach us parents to know better next time!!!!!!!!!
