Okay, so I'm obviously terribly behind in posting to my blog. The country's so different, halloween has passed, we have the hope of our new president-elect - thank you Florida, Ohio, and all you other awesome states that turned blue this election! My Grandma is on hospice and no longer can get around on her own, she's declined cognitively a bunch but don't count her out yet - she's back to eating, well nibbling on her favorite frosted cookies, and she's gotten back that fiesty spark in her eyes. Well, back to Halloween, I totally dropped the ball and didn't take pictures when the kids went trick or treating but fortunately my neighbor got one pic of our kids from that night. Owen would be the one wearing the somewhat scary Anakin Skywalker (from The Clone Wars he'd have you know!) mask.
Oona's titled her costume 'Bad Princess Kitty' a girl who at three is already in touch with the virgin whore dichotomy. She loved twirling around and playing with her artfully shredded skirt but wasn't so keen on wearing the mask or the elbow length velvet gloves. Miraculously Pittsburgh experienced its second straight year of beautifully mild Halloween weather (I always feel so bad for the kids when it's a nasty night of freezing rain and they have to cover up their costumes with coats) so it was a great day out.
Oona's school had a halloween parade (like how I 'framed' the picture with the two spidermen in her class) and here she is hugging one of her buddies. Her teachers had come to our house for a parent teacher conference a few weeks ago and they mentioned that a few of the girls in the class have already formed cliques where they'll exclude other girls (it's baffling and horrible that this crap starts at 3 and 4) which, obviously, upsets the girls that are excluded. But they said Oona doesn't care at all. She'll play with whomever, boys, girls, popular or not. Thank God! Owen's the same way at his school, he'll play with anyone as long as they aren't bullies or bossy, which makes me happy as a clam that they're kind.
