Yesterday morning, Madeleine was prancing around the house, upon awakening, singing, "Tomorrow's Halloweeeeen! Tomorrow's Halloweeeen!"
ME: Tomorrow's the day before Halloween.
MADELEINE: (singing) Tomorrow's the day before Halloweeeeen! (speaking) MAMA? By accident, I was saying "Tomorrow's Halloween," and I *shouted* it. I'm SO embarrassed.
Today, had she sang the same song, there would have been no need to feel embarrassed, because it is finally the day before Halloween. I think the reason why Madeleine was so excited yesterday was her anticipation for the big day-before-Halloween at school. Both girls got to dress up today! Julia went to school not in her Halloween costume, but dressed as a Vocabulary Word from her vocab list.
The word Julia chose was "Egghead", and behold her lovely costume:
Auntie Caitlyn BLEW IT big time when she saw Julia's all-white ensemble laid out on her bedroom floor last night.
AUNTIE CAITLYN: Oh, are you being a ghost tomorrow?
JULIA: (in alarmed offense) Noo-wah! I'm being an EGG!
Sheesh, Auntie Caitlyn, get it together. Isn't it obvious?? All white = egg, NOT ghost.
Madeleine got to wear her Halloween costume to kindergarten, and here she is rockin' it as Draculaura from "Monster High":
Before Madeleine went into school today, she had her 6-year-old check-up, so she actually arrived an hour and a half late to class. Her check-up showed that all is well, except for Madeleine's lack of a filter.
DOCTOR: And everything is all right with her bowel movements? Does she go regularly?
ME: Yes, she generally poops every day.
MADELEINE: (turning to the doctor and speaking at top volume) And I always go poop, SURPRISINGLY, when I think I'm just going PEE. Every time I just try to push PEE out, POOP comes out too!
and this:
DOCTOR: Does she want the flu shot or the flu mist?
ME: Probably the mist would be better, since she gets nervous for the shot.
MADELEINE: What's the mist?
ME: It's a little spray up your nose.
MADELEINE: (turning to the doctor and speaking at top volume) Well, I'll have the mist if it's good at getting rid of a STUFFY NOSE that's ALL STUFFED UP with TONS of MUCUS!
At any rate, Madeleine got the thumbs-up on her health, and she arrived at school just in time for a group costume photo, so she didn't miss out on too much Halloween fun. She had a blast at the class party, playing with orange play-dough, coloring Halloween pictures, making her own construction paper jack-o-lantern, playing Pin-the-Nose on the pumpkin, and cutting it up on the dance floor during Freeze Dance. As she told her teacher, "I'm not even TRYING to do these dance moves, they're just what's coming OUT OF ME when I start moving to the music!"
Bust a move, Madeleine!:
