Happy Belated Dogoween!


I'm experimenting with a plan I have for the human children - shared costume. Why go crazy spending money on multiple Halloween costumes? That's money that can clearly be spent better on wine for mommy. Instead, buy one costume that's just big enough to stretch over the largest kid and split time between that kid and the other. Sure, it might be too big for the little kid, but the kids should really just consider themselves lucky they get a store bought costume at all. If they complain too much, we'll give 'em a pillow case, a marker, and some scissors. It was good enough for us, right? Click the link below to see the results of this year's trial.

P.S. These were actually taken yesterday afternoon. On Monday night, we were hiding inside, pretending we weren't home, eating all the candy ourselves. (Okay it was just me, but still.)

    I too spent many Halloween nights eating a happy meal and trying not to move as we sat in the dark ignoring the kids at the door. My mom was great! No need to trick or treat when you have a full bowl at home.

  3. That costume is so funny! I love how Shane looks so excited and Quinten looks so over it, but that makes him even cuter. I think I am going to dress Dudley as an easter egg next year and just dye him three different colors and see how it looks. Might not show up well on that brown coat though. Maybe spray paint will work better. This is a good, cheap idea for kids too. Just a thought.
    Thanks for sharing!
