Janga Fett hugs Barbie cheerleader.....

This was our first year with my daughter in a Hoochie Mama outfit and my 4th year with my son in an outrageously expensive Star Wars themed costume (equipped with a weapon of some kind).

I spent more money on the underclothes to keep my daughter warm from her skimpy outfit that I did on the actual costume!

Okay....no complaining......I like Halloween and had a fun time. My kids had fun, brushed their teeth really well and went to bed without and argument.

Now.........

Here comes the stressful part of year. Who is cooking for what holidays and when can we fit in time to see them all. Not to mention the expense of it all.

I am going to try to salvage the year by adding in some family time for just the four of us. Believe me, we REALLY need it.
