Today\u2019s theme was, \u201cIt\u2019s CRAZY to do drugs!\u201d  Kids wore crazy clothes and hair to school.  McCanless LOVED today and was thrilled that I allowed her to wear her Christmas dress that she has been dying to wear everyday since we bought it!  She completely and 100% dressed her self crazy today all by herself!  I did her hair with strict instructions on exactly what to do.  Mommy dressed up too, which McCanless thought was great.<\/p>\n<p>As for Mary Clare, no excuse.  Mel dresses her every morning, and his choices in bow colors don&#8217;t always work.  Today, I let it go.  Usually, I&#8217;ll re-dress her when I pick her up or at least change bows.   Today, we had only one thing on our minds, and that was to make that big pumpkin of ours a Jack-O-Lantern before Halloween night!!<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.babypennington.com\/Happy%20Pumpkin%20Carving%209.html\" onclick=\"window.open('http:\/\/www.babypennington.com\/Happy%20Pumpkin%20Carving%209.html','popup','width=920,height=1227,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0'); return false\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.babypennington.com\/Happy Pumpkin Carving 9-thumb-300x400.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"400\" alt=\"Happy Pumpkin Carving 9.jpg\" class=\"mt-image-center\" style=\"text-align: center; display: block; margin: 0 auto 20px;\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">It really is a HUGE pumpkin!
