Every year I get nervous around Halloween time. The pressure of dressing up and what you’re going to dress the children as each year gives me an anxiety attack. It really comes down to the moola. I dont’ want to spend it. All the costumes that the kids wanted were upwards of $20 each. I know that’s not a lot but if they could use it for the rest of the year it wouldn’t be so bad…but one night. I have a hard time with that especially because they’re still younger. I know everyone reading this thinks I’m a mean mommy. I think so too..lol So, we’re all good. Just kidding! Whatever you write CAN be used against you huh? Anyway, I was prepping my boys for not getting a costume this year. Luckily my sister keeps all her costumes and offered to have the boys borrow from her son’s closet. I was all for it and happy that my boys would have something to wear.
Of course the story gets better and I’m just so happy for Old Navy. I’m not sure if they do it every year but they slashed all their Halloween items to $2 each. I had to ask the sales guy to make sure EVERYTHING Halloween was $2. Right when he said “yes” a frenzy started inside me
and I snatched what I could. Logan and Mason would be happy to be a chicken and a dragon..right??? I know it’s covered from head to toe and we’re on a tropical island of average 80 degree weather but for $2 they better LOVE IT like how I LOVE IT ..lol
I got home and could not wait to show the kids their costumes. Logan my oldest wasn’t too happy because his heart was set on the Spiderman costume Aunty Nicole promised him. But smart mommy was ready for the protest. We had just watched “Where the Wild Things Are” and I told him it was a costume from that movie. Took him a little bit to take the bait but he did and LOOOVED his costume. Phew! Mason is only two so he would’ve loved anything I brought home. The only danger is we hung out at my sister’s house in Kalihi and Mase was was being eyed up by all the pinoys..ha!
Hope you enjoyed your Halloween as much as our family did. Soon it’ll be Thanksgiving..the Christmas…Yikes!
LOL at the Kalihi comment, so funny! Love the pics. Glad you had a great Halloween!
…then the last pix is like: “at the end of the day, we go arm-in-arm and head on home…” and i can picture them skipping merrily home…. Soooooooooooooo cute!!!
