• Halloween is coming up....

  My boys love to plot and plan what they are going to be for Halloween. For months and months they talk about what and how it will be so cool and amazing and and and and. As the time draws near they always change what they want to go as. For example Walker has wanted to go as Dr Who (Matt Smith) for about a year. I have been looking for the items and found them. Only to find out that the kids didn't want to go what we had planned. I canceled (just in time and at Eric's prompting) the ones I had ordered and found where they had what they wanted NOW.

  Only now that I am getting ready to go pick up the order they both want to be what they were looking for to begin with. And it is too late to be Dr. Who. I can't find anyone that has the costume now. Now they are unhappy because their costumes wont be as good as if I had just not canceled the order.

   

  Normaly I make their costumes and they don't have much choice, they turn out great and the kids love them because they follow a theme.

  Eric has been telling me I baby the boys. So this year I am not to make their costumes.

  Last year- 2 shirts, pants, and extras cost me a total of 29 for both boys.

  This year- costume they want 30x2

  And they aren't really happy because I didn't order the above things to make their costumes....

  Hindsight is better than foresight. But I knew in my gut that I should just order what I needed way back when.

  Maybe next year I will tell him to Fuck off.
