Happy Halloween 2011

Brendan was off to school bright and early this morning dressed in the requisite black tee and pants to help out at the Halloween carnival at his school. No picture yet.

Ciara lucked out with not one, but two costumes this year! Nana made her a greek goddess costume (see below). The Fashionista chose the colors.

The Amelia Earheart ensemble was put together by Ciara and Dad. Good job!

And Miss Áine Clare is Jill from the classic nursery rhyme "Jack and Jill".

Happy Halloween from the Madigans!

It's The Most Wonderful Time of the Year... Pumpkin Picking

The Madigan Kidlets do love their pumpkins.

Ciara's pumpkin was so big she couldn't pick it up to put it in the wagon, so she enlisted the help of her primarily non-verbal older brother who muttered under his breath, "We're all screwed." Honestly, he rarely speaks, but when he does it packs a punch, doesn't it?

Love this girl, love these curls!

A Day with the Big Kidlets

Brendan and Ciara both had the day off school, so after dropping off the littlest kidlet we headed to the Arboretum. If you recall this place is what I try to pass off as the "rain forest" to Brendan. I don't think he is buying that anymore, but he did enjoy himself some ducks.


This squirrel shot if for my Mom :o)

Girlies

Not really a blog post per se, just some cute shots I couldn't not post.


Miss Áine Clare went bowling for P.E. last week.

Ciara and Dad went to the Holy Family Fair this past weekend. The $2.00 for hair color was well spent as this is the closest my little lamb chop will get to ever coloring that head of hair ;o)

College Bound?

Brendan took a trip with his class to Cypress College to investigate potential college classes once leaving SLDC. Not sure if this is a viable option for Brendan -- unless of course he could take a course in zoology -- but he seemed to enjoy himself nonetheless. Love the picture of him next to the sign and especially the one in the campus bookstore. His look at the Admissions Office is one of uncertainty, but still smiling!

Real Men Cook and Clean

Here is the lad participating in cooking class at school. He even washes dishes!
