Halloween!

Okay, so I love Halloween time but when the day finally comes I AM SO DONE! And apparently so was Jessie.

She was a witch for all of our "festivities", dance class, preschool, family parties, scavenger hunts...BUT, Halloween day she wakes up and tells me she doesn't like witches and wants to be Tinkerbell! What a horrible mom I am because I didn't take one picture of her being Tinkerbell, maybe because she's usually her once a day at some point! Oh, and poor little Reese Marie, no pics of her in her butterfly costume.

Do I hear it? Yeah, there it is........"LOOOOOOSER MOOOOOOOOOOM!"

Oh well, brink on THANKSGIVING!

I guess it's a good thing you had a tinkerbell costume on hand...

OH Jill...I have a looser mom story for you. It's a bit long. Please bear with me, in order to make yourself feel better.

Dad and Kaden went to the jewelry store. Dad let Kaden pick out a piece of jewelry for Mom's birthday all on his own. Mom opened the gift (which Dad prefaced with the fact that he would personally not be offended if she returned it). Mom opened the silver, diamond-lined, swirly heart necklace. Mom smiled, gave Kaden a big hug & a thanks, and then EXCHANGED IT for something she liked better.

I never knew Kaden would sadly go on and on about his 'heart necklace' and how he liked it better. And "why didn't you keep the heart?" I think I broke HIS heart. And the worst part?! I lied by saying it didn't fit so I HAD to return it.

Moral of the story, never return a gift from your child no matter how "not you" it is. Even if it's really expensive. I'm tearing up now.

LOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSER MOM AWARD!

The end.

Ummm...so I think you need to stage a post-Halloween costume shoot at least of Reese in her butterfly outfit. She's got fans.

I have a great idea....... just take a picture of "tinkerbell" today, I won't tell anyone!

Kris said...

What an adorable little witch you have!!!

It's pretty cool that she had options. That counts as being a good mom.

Re. no pictures of Reese Marie's costume: These are your options: dress her up today and take a picture (if you choose this option, don't wait too long or you'll risk Christmas decorations in the background and I promise you,they'll figure that one out), totally blow this time off but feel bad about the next time - oh, yes, there will be a next time. . .trust me, and finally, feel really bad about this time (you know, journal about it, have pictures taken of you mourning, etc.) and blow off the next time, because, oh, yes, there will be a next time. . . trust me.
