You wouldn’t know it by looking outside, it really looks like Christmas or at least Thanksgiving but Halloween is just around the corner.
I’m one of those moms who waits until the last minute, when there are no good costumes left, to buy my kid their costume. This is one of the many reasons I never get nominated for Mother of the Year.
This year I thought ahead and ordered my daughter’s costume from Extreme Halloween. Because I thought ahead, and because we are having a Halloween party I ordered a costume for myself. I’ll post pictures when we get closer to Halloween. Even the dog is getting a costume.
Extreme Halloween has given me some coupons to share with you. There are some great perks to being a blogger and the little bonuses, though not as good as the Clinique Bonus, are some of what make it so much fun.
This post published before I was finished editing it. I was trying to figure out the auto-post feature and the damn thing is on military time so sorry it went up before it was finished.
Don’t forget my contest for a free ad for a month. Just answer the question from my post about movies that aren’t worth watching. The question was:
What movie did I watch the other day from start to finish?
I’ll give you a couple of hints.
It is not The Accidental Tourist.
If you have read my blog you have seen several posts that mention this movie and that I have seen this movie at least 487 times, not necessarily because it is a good movie, though I love it, but because it is always on.
My dad just bought my son a costume. He is going to be Darth Vader. I haven’t figured out what I am doing to do for Brittany yet. I can’t wait to see your Halloween pictures.
I wish I had known this earlier. I ordered my daughter’s costume yesterday (and I am making the older one’s costume eeek). You didn’t tell us what everyone is going to be for Halloween. If you want to surprise us with yours, at least share what the dog will be.
Stacie, I think I still have my brother’s Darth Vader costume and I know I have my son’s from when he was young enough to trick or treat. Darth Vader has to be one of those costumes that is always popular. Who’d have guessed? That was another movie I couldn’t sit through.
Anne, I’m trying to create some suspense. Work with me.
Hi Stacie – I am new to your blog and the first paragraph of this post made me laugh. I am also one of those moms who waits until the last minute to think about Halloween costumes. I am also divorced and was a single parent for most of my son’s life. But now that the kids (blended family with three teen boys now) are older and give thought to their own costumes, THEY are the ones who wait until the last minute. I guess the apple did not fall far from the tree.
I found your blog through BlogFrog and wanted to come over and check it out. So nice to discover your blog!

Holly, thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment, and admitting that you have done the very same thing. There is no perfect mother. I know some people might argue that like my grandmother but I’m not buying it.
I’m still new to blogfrog but it seems like a great community
I love Halloween costumes. I bought a pirate wig last year but I didn’t use it. I already have a pirate costume. Hum….I wonder what I’ll be this year…
Yes, please post pictures.
Wow, look at all that snow! I’ve never had a white Halloween…cool!
Hello there, HAPPY HALOWEEN! A little late..!!
