Halloween!!!! and some Christmas thrown in.

So the girls were witches this year..
we bought the Awesome hats at Walmart and i made the dresses...
bought some cheap masks at Michaels and some grey and white tights at superstore..
nothing difficult this year...
gotta love that..

and this year we only went to family...
so we only had 6 stops...
but MIke and my sister had a point...
we are kinda ruining the halloween experience..
halloween is supposed to be door to door in the neighbourhood..
not by car...i'm not really to worried though..going by car means
a sweater under the costume is enough..otherwise its winter jacket,

so this weekend i hope to scrap a little bit..have so more ideas in mind
for the November kit over at MyScrapSHoppe. but of course..i probably won't cause the laundry is screaming my name...sorry to gat all debbie downer..but its always something, and then i never get my chance to create...its very crushing sometimes.

this past thursday, me and Mike somehow got the day off together,
and by the time we picked up Jolie from school he made the comment of how
a day off is really not a day off for me...He asked me if my days off are always about running around. I said, Yup,pretty much...
so i'm hoping he came to an understanding that day...and maybe won't be so stubborn about doing things for me...not that he's horrible or anything, he just needs alot of pushing to get things done...

and now that its Nov 1, its time to think Xmas presents...
i prefer to buy them, but i have been thinking about making
some...i just don't think my family would appreciate it... maybe i'm wrong..but i am going super simple with gifts this year...even for the girls..Santa always brings one, and after that I think we will only get them an outfit, and 2 other presents?? they just don't have enough room in there little room..but i feel so guilty, and then i feel not guilty cause our families spoil them...and then its present overload and they don't play with everything. i just have memories of being super spoiled at xmas and getting just a boatload of stuff..it was fun, but i don't think it became an expectation as i got older...i just don't want the girls to expect to get spoiled at xmas...they weren't bothered by halloween so maybe i don't give them enough credit...anyways, my bank account kinda decides what kind of xmas we'll have, and at the moment it says a simple one...so for now i'll go with that.
