The Poor house

A couple of days ago, I decided to take the kids over to the costume store to pick out costumes. Halloween is just over a week away ya know. I figured I had put it off long enough. I had talked Justin into not "being anything" this year since he is 13. He agreed. Until he found out where I was going. Then he tells me he needs a mask for the haunted house at church. Fine. I told him something CHEAP. We get to the store, and he runs right over to a Burger King mask. I have to admit it was cute, and I would've gotten it for him until I saw the price was 50 bucks! I talked him into a "scary" mask which is what he wanted anyway. When all was said and done, it cost us 117.00 for 3 kids costumes!! I REALLY need to learn how to sew!

Ugh. Halloween is so expensive. It cost us 100 bucks for our two. We also let them get little candy totes to put their candy in. What's wrong with us? I don't know why I'm not creative enough to make stuff at home.
