Halloween Happiness

First of all, I’m very excited because The Girl’s friend’s mom invited our family to go to a local farm on Sunday. I am looking forward to it, despite my allergies. I just love to see the kids when they are enjoying the simple things in life. The Girl just read this over my shoulder, and has declared that it’s weird for me to say that. Sorry Girl. Your mom is just a weirdo. Whatev’s.

Anyway, on to some links.

There have been a few blogs this week related to Halloween, which as you know is probably my favorite holiday. These two are about cheap Halloween costumes.

Rocks In My Dryer talked about it on her Works for Me Wednesday post.

Frugal Dad talks about it here.

The Girl will be a black cat this year (excuse me….she says, “LEOPARD!” My bad), which involves a black leotard, some black tights, a tail made out of a pair of old tights, and a $4 headband with LEOPARD! ears. Oh, and some eyeliner for the nose and whiskers. The Boy will once again wear his Spiderman costume, for the 2nd year. I got the thing for a quarter at a yard sale. Or he might wear the superhero mask and cape that he got at a recent Halloween party. Free is even better than a quarter!

Another post that hit home with me, is only indirectly related to Halloween. At Gather Little By Little, he talks about the feelings surrounding leaving his house. We bought our house in Michigan on Halloween (see the connection?), and of course, recently left it. I can completely relate to this article.

So, that’s been my week. How was yours?
