This Is Us!: Halloween in Kindergarten

Preparations for Layla's Halloween party yesterday at school began the night before. I gave her a nice, warm bath (to help her fall asleep) and then put pin-curls in her hair! I've only done this once before and they turned out amazing, so I thought I'd give it a try again. Especially as Layla was being Ariel, and I couldn't find a nice red wig anywhere, so we thought curls would be a good substitute. Very fancy and princessy, you know!

I kinda liked this picture of Layla because I think it shows that she'd look glamorous even if she had one of those really Europeanish super short feminine haircuts (which I really want one day, but am always too chicken to get). Lucky girl, has a nicely shaped head!

And from the side! She's such a trooper, and she slept with all the pins in her head all night long!

The only problem was, I forgot to put any hairspray or product in her hair. Then, or when I took it out. And I often forget that her hair is completely different from mine. Mine will sometimes hold a curl for days, but her hair is so fine and straight, that it really needed the extra help. You'll see why later...

I also volunteered to be a Kindergarten parent helper on the day of the festivities! The party had a pre-party with jack-o-lantern carving in the morning! I was in charge of cutting (obviously!) for my little group, and this is what we came up with! Scary, huh?

This is Layla had at work coloring a fantastic witch! Unfortunately, I forgot to take any full-length shots of her costume, so I'll have to try to get one at our party tomorrow or on Halloween day itself.
