Halloween - GRRRR




Halloween has never been my fav day of the year and I don't consider it a holiday. I wait until it passes and then start decorating for my FAVORITE holiday - Christmas!

So, Bug is Obi Wan from Star Wars - $39.99, E is Optimus Prime from Transformers -$12.88 and R WAS going to be Bumblebee from Transformers - $12.88 but decided that Bumblebee isn't cool so now he's Iron Man from, well, Iron Man - $12.88. BTW, he has no idea what or who Iron Man is because it's PG13 and as far as I know, Daddy hasn't let them see it - YET. I lost Bumblebee's receipt so I'm out $12.88 plus tax! We bought 3 pumpkins from Laganor Farms - $15 and while we were there bought loads of tickets for games and then bought ice cream and a baked apple for me :) $60. I need to buy treats for school parties and no doubt H will decide at the last minute that she will go to the "stupid Marion Halloween party" after all...
When all is said and done, the Walters will have spent around $200+ on my least favorite day of the year...That's a lot of Christmas decorations!!! GRRR
As I type this, I remember the first Hallowen I dressed the twins. They were 1 and they were twin Frankensteins and they were so cute. They hated the costumes, would NOT wear the hats and cried - they cried ALOT, they had their sippie cups in their mouths just SOBBING...


I bought them big so that they could wear them again the following year and guess what - SOBBING with cups in their mouths!!! At least they wore the hats...We'll see what this year brings...

We do really need to get to get O and Ryan together....I think O asks me at least once a week...bad mom that I am...when would be a good time to do that? Do we want to try and do the group photo thing also....is Sat supposed to be nice? As I told Tina & Reba I am worried about such a large group but if your expectations are not too high we could give it a shot.

AWESOME - Tina will give you a call about Saturday... :) Your pictures are beautiful and we will enjoy working with you. We'll start with the group picture and work our way through - if it doesn't work out with kids or what not - that's fine at least we'll have the group shot! :) THANK YOU!
