Hair and more :)

Well it's been a while!! I'm struggling trying to keep up with life never mind blogging!! There is just so much going on these days. We spent the Halloween break at my mum and dad's - well most of us did - Eddie was off work for a week so he stayed at home building a shed and painting part of the house and building walls, etc, etc. Caoilte went in on the Tuesday to help him!! And to spend time with his cousin Conor who went to Tory for the week.



The children had their Halloween party at school on the Friday and I managed to get a few photos of them before they went, just as well as I've hardly taken any photos since!! We went to the Halloween Fancy Dress Party and Disco in Magheraroarty on the Sunday evening and they had an absolute ball there - it was great, well done to the organisers Club Oige Críost Rí. On Wednesday evening Ríonnach and I went to the Halloween Party and Fireworks at Ionad Cois Locha, Dunlewey. We made sure to be nearly first in line for the face painting - after our dissapointment last year - then on to the Magic Show. Ríonnach got to assist the magician on stage for one of his tricks. The fireworks were spectacular as usual - even better this year as it was a clear night and no rain!! Caoilte and Conor went trick or treating in Tory and came home with 45 euro each!!!!! Ríonnach was too tired after Dunlewey to go trick or treating.

A sad event on Oct 29th - Caoilte and I went to the funeral of a family friend who died from Lung Cancer - he was only 54. I'd known him all my life although I hadn't seen him much since I moved to Tory, but his nieces and nephews were like sisters and brothers to me when we were growing up.

What else, oh yes, Ríonnach, Cobhlaith, Nan and I went to the Nutcracker by Ballet Ireland on 3 Nov at the Grianan Theatre in Letterkenny. It was fantastic and the girls have been piroutte-ing around the house ever since - Cobhlaith has changed her name to Clara!



I got my hair chopped off two weeks ago too, here's a photo of myself and Caoilte after my cut and before Caoilte got his cut a few days later.
