Today was Kory's school Christmas concert.  Gone are the days of Christmas concerts being kids singing Christmas songs.  Oh no, dressed as cowboys, performing a show where they have a ho-down in a barn around about a woman having a baby called Jesus.  Narrated by a fieldmouse no less.  Confused?  So were we. 

AND - we were charged £2.50 each to go and watch it.  For licensing fees apparently.  Bring back Away in a Manger, Jingle Bells and We Wish you a Merry Christmas I say, and free entry!

DSC_0068.JPGIt's been a busy old week of Halloween events.  Starting last Tuesday with Kory's school disco where he went as a scary clown.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

He seemed to have a great time at the disco, there were games and tattoos and juice and mostly all his friends were there!

DSC_0156.JPGOn Saturday we went to a party at Leanne & Craig's house.  This time it involved us dressing up too!  We also took Jim, the nursery mascot with us dressed as a witches cat!  It was a great night, the kids were delighted to stay out until "morning"

Here is Ariel from the Little Mermaid that I did for Krystal and Mario for Kory. When they came home from school they were delighted!

We also baked some spider cakes before dinner and toffee apples for pudding.  Phew, what a busy day!!

We had a birthday party this afternoon and we got our dinner there too.  We went to the party dressed up because it was Halloween today.  When we got home Mummy set up a basin of water and put in some apples.  But she was cruel, she removed the stalks except on one for Krystal.  She got hers easily.

I tried for a wee while, but couldn't get one, then Mummy showed me how to do it properly.  She got very very wet.  She emptied out some of the water after her turn to make it easier for me.

Next Daddy had a shot, he got his easily now there was less water.

Then I had another turn, well lots of turns actually.  I couldn't catch my apple at all.  Eventually I did, and I was soaking!

Krystal Josh Nursery Halloween1.jpgToday was Krystal's turn for a Halloween party at nursery.  Only they aren't allowed to call it that - it's an Orange Day Party.  All their snacks were orange, Krystal's face is covered in tomato soup!  I forgot to takeany photos before she left in the morning, I was poised by my laptop to buy Take That tickets.  So this photo is when I went to pick her up, with Josh and the nursery mascot, Charlie.

 

 

 

Jumping Kids2.jpgLater in the day, Kory and Krystal had a great time jumping off the couch while I took photos.  After each jump they giggled hystrically at the photo I'd taken.

Kids Rabbit1.jpgBefore bed they had Fudge (or Fudgie Foo Foo as Krystal calls him) out for a play and cuddle.

Pirate Kory2.jpg

Tonight Kory had a Halloween Disco at school for the primary 1-3's.  He dressed up as a pirate.  It was a bit of a rush between football and the disco, but worth it as he had a great time!
