Halloween 2012

We decided to take C trick-or-treating this year. Every time I showed him costumes and asked what he wanted to be, he picked Spider Man. I am not sure why, he didn't and probably still doesn't have any idea who he is, but I went with it. Fintan was hobo-ish, I just found some stuff we had around the house so he could participate even though he stayed in the stroller while Cian went door-to-door. At first C was pretty good about saying trick-or-treat, thank you, and Happy Halloween (I didn't tell him to say that, he did it on his own), but by the end he kept forgetting, or was just too caught up in the excitement. He really had a fun time!

The Fair

We went to the fair this summer. Nothing particularly remarkable happened, we just had a nice time mostly looking at the animals. They were handing out the cowboy hats for free so we snagged a couple. The picture of Cian with the turkey is the only one where he is looking at the camera and not at the animal, or I would have picked one where he seemed like he was having a good time.

Chuck E Cheese

The boys also got their first taste of Chuck E Cheese's this summer for their twin cousins' birthday. I thought Cian would freak out, but he couldn't get enough of that mouse. Fintan didn't seem to care one way or the other, but at least he didn't scream and cry. Then again I didn't make him get close, that may have had something to do with it.

Fintan's First Haircut

Fintan has stick-straight hair, so he needed a haircut much sooner than Cian did. By the time I forced myself to take him in, he had something dangerously close to a mullet. He behaved better than I thought he would, but did not want to sit down once she got started so I only got one picture. It seemed more important to hold him so he didn't go flying out of the little Jeep chair. Apparently I did not take any after pictures once we got home, unfortunately.
