A Trip to the Dentist

Lucky Macyn got to go the dentist for the first time on Halloween! She wasn't so sure about it at first (you will see what I mean), but she ended up doing really well! They flossed, cleaned, and put floride on her teeth. The dentist and assistants liked her costume. Macyn asked the dentist, "What are you for Halloween?" His response, "A dentist." Macyn just looked at him funny :)

And, after this we went trick or treating. Someone asked her if she's going to eat all her candy. Her response? "No, I just got my teeth cleaned."

Halloween Costume(s)! DIY

This year for Halloween, we went for some "easy" DIY costumes. Macyn had a few different costumes since she had her regular costume, and two separate parties at preschool/daycare.

Costume #1: Dr. Seuss's the Cat in the Hat featuring Thing 1 and Thing 2
Macyn's Cat in the Hat: Black shirt and pants from her closet, a red bow made out of ribbon, and a hat that I had from when I was a kid
Twin's Thing 1 and Thing 2 : Glued a blue feather boa to hats to make their wigs, and my friend from college made the onesies

Costume #2: Ballerina (worn to pre-school party)
Macyn wore a pair of tights we already owned, a dance costume from a garage sale for $1, and a hair bow she borrowed from the twins

Costume #3: Vikings Cheerleader (worn to daycare and trick or treating)
Macyn decided the night before (we don't procrastinate or anything) that she wanted to be a cheerleader. We already had a cheerleader dress that Grandma bought her. All she needed was some pom poms. I ran to Walmart and picked up some tablecloths and duct tape and went to town. The pom poms actually turned out pretty well and she still plays with them. We added some ribbon to her pigtails to complete the look. She insisted on wearing her cowboy boots to be a cheerleader (I think she has watched the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader show a few too many times)

The twins were still Thing 1 and Thing 2:
