Happy Halloween!

Excitement levels were at an all-time high in our house today! Tom was loving the spectacle but Sam, oh boy, I don’t know if he’s ever been more psyched up for an event. Though we’d been talking about trick-or-treating for days, no weeks, as I was painting his face to get him ready this evening he nearly burst.

Sam: “You mean we’re actually going trick-or-treating? Now?”

Mom: “Yes, it’s time.”

Sam: “Oh my goodness, I have been waiting for this. I can hardly believe it!”

Possibly the cutest night we’ve ever had.

Happy Halloween everyone! A few more pics of the cutest (sorry, toughest and scariest!) dinosaur around and the most adorable lion ever.

It was take two for the lion suit….. definitely brothers, there’s no denying it :)

Counting down the days to Christmas

This Christmas is turning out to be my favourite ever. Sam is just so drawn to everything Christmas-y and is enjoying all of the prep and build up so much. It’s a total joy to watch. Weeks ago I found this terrific advent hanging at a local store and thought it would be a really fun way to count down the days to Christmas.

Christmas comes to Galway

With just a few weeks to go until Christmas, and only a couple until we fly to snowy Canada to be with my family, we though we’d kick start the holidays with a trip in to the Christmas market in town. Sam thought it was all pretty magical…
