Halloween!

After the dress up day on Friday the 25th of October it was midterm at last! The dress up theme for TYs was villains. I was Darth Vader, from Star Wars. Some people were robbers, the Joker and lots more. It was my friend Claire's birthday that day, so we brought in sweets, buns and cake to have at lunchtime, on top of all the sweets we were having in class for parties.

After school I went to Claire's house and we had a party! Woop woop! Rebecca made a purple and pink castle cake, complete with glitter and towers! It was so amazingly delicious. 

On Sunday morning I had to get up at 7:30, just like a school day, to go to Waterford. For another anniversary mass, this time my nana's. All of my family on my dad's side were there. After the mass some of us went to the Ramada Viking Hotel for some brunch, which was nice. Then my family went to our nanny and grandad's house to chill for a while. We met our cousin Sam there, he's the same age as Brian so they were able to play with each other, while I hung out with my grandad's boxer Max, who LOVES to drool and shed hair all over me. Lovely. At about 6 we went to our other cousins house for dinner. The adults had Thai and us kids had Dominoes pizza yum yum! We were there for ages and ages, talking about how the weather was 'cat', as they say in Waterford! Everything is cat in Waterford, especially the weather. On Monday we put flowers on my nana's grave, she would have really liked them as they were pink and white. We went home again after that.

Monday night I was in Sorcha's house for a movie night, we watched the Hunger Games and ate lots of sweets, just practicing for Halloween! Tuesday me and the girls went to Liffey Valley to go shopping for stuff to wear to Time, which was on Wednesday. I have to admit, it was leaving it a bit late but we did all get sorted. I bought a really nice black and white stripy dress, fab! Some of us bought masks as well, and glitter spray for our hair! On Wednesday we all got ready together and glittered ourselves up, ready to go.

Next day was Halloween! I was so excited, and so glittery! I was dressing up as a pirate, Jack Sparrow style. I put some plaits in my hair, with beads, feathers and ribbons to decorate. With a few piratey tattoos (fake of course!) and an old school shirt, I was ready to go around with my new brothers, Harry Potter and Scream. My vampire neighbours were there as well, and a six year old mob member, a Headless Hat Man and two witches. We went all around the estate, and then back all the lads went to our house and sat around the fire outside. Us girls went to our next door neighbours house and watched Stardust, absolutely amazing!

On Friday me, my brothers and my dad went to Liffey valley to get Cian a new SIM card. Turns out you have to top up your credit every 160 days or your number expires! Who would have known that? After we went to see Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2, which was really funny. We went home and had pizza. At about 7 o' clock we went to a friend's house for a bit of a party. Lots of my brothers friends were there. There were five girls and thirteen boys, so we were a bit outnumbered. Lots of fizzy drinks led to thirteen very hyper boys aged 6-12, who though it was ''funny'' to jump and launch themselves onto the sofas when people were sitting there. Not cool. We all stayed there until two o' clock in the morning. Nothing on Saturday or Sunday, which was a well needed break. I planted flowers in the front garden.

Junk Kouture is going well, me and Aoife have a pattern for the top, and really all we need to decide is what to do for the shoes and headpiece. I'll try to post more often, I've been a bit all over the place with posts. Bye for now!
