2nd Annual Bear Boutique
Thanks to a good friend Mandy she and I pulled some very late nights making these magnet boards. We had supplies to make 16 big ones but only got 6 of them done. We made 3 Christmas and 3 everday boards. To give you an idea of how big these are I had Hunter stand next to one.
It wasn't just me. There were not many that made money. Most people earned the $25 booth fee back but not much more. There was very poor advertising and very poor directions. The friend that helped me with the magnet boards had a hard time finding us and she knew we were at the highschool. Over all it was most definitely a bomb. I did not make a little extra money as I was hoping for.
Kory mentioned that since this is the 2nd time this has happened to me the next time I want to do something like this he'll just give me $100 to go spend however I want. We'd probably still come out ahead.
Despite the dissapointment of almost not selling anything I did have a good time. I met many knew people and had a nice break out of the house and from my children. My booth was next to a friends so we had each other to keep company. Being I didn't sale any magnets boards they are going to make nice Christmas gifts this year.

Halloween 2007
For dinner we had chicken strips with homemade bat-fry's and ketchup
What will everyone be??????
Emily was her m&m.
Maddie was a carebear. A friend called about her neighbor having a garage sale last saturday. This neighbor was selling the costume for $2.00. Knowing how warm it would keep her I took it. It fit her very snugly. It will be too small for her for next year.
Hunter 10 minutes before we walked out the door changed his mind from being a ninja turtle to The Rock off of Fantastic 4. I bought his costume at Wal Mart when I was pregnant with Emily on their clearance rack for $1.00. Hunter usually wears this costume when Maddie puts on her dress up dresses. He's changed his mind so much lately I wasn't too surprised he would choose a costume he's been wearing at least once a week for over a year now.
Of all Halloween Nights I believe this was our warmest. Kory walked around the church in a short sleeve shirt. The baby and I had a long sleeve shirt on with our m&m costumes on. No one got too cold. The wind wasn't blowing, it was realitively warm what a great night for trunk or treating.
We came hope with 2 bags of candy. The kids were in heaven. When the bags were dumped on the floor Emily was right there with them.
Emily quickly found her favorite candy. M&M's and a roll of smarties.
I have had several comments on all my childrens different costumes that they have worn this year. I thought I'd better clarify. I was in Vegas visiting my parents 3 years ago after Halloween. Maddie was just 4 months old. While there I went to the local grocery store and found many costumes 75-90%off. That is when I bought the witch costume, and the ghost costume that Maddie has worn this year. I also bought a vampire costume, and Hunter's pirate costume at that time. I don't remember how much each costume was but I remember thinking I had just bought 4 costumes for under $5 that my kids would eventually grow into.
Like my mom did growing up I have a big box full of halloween costumes. Most of these costumes I have been given or bought for just a few dollars. So like the past couple of years I pulled the box out and let the kids pick something out for this year. I did buy a few accessories to go with the costumes this year. But hey they'll have them all for next year and I won't have to buy any then.
Preschool Halloween Party
I ran to the grocery store monday night and while buying groceries I came upon this hat and hook for Hunter. The hook was $.88 and the hat was already 50%off making it $3.00. I figured what the heck and bought it for him.
His excitement tuesday morning was comical when I showed him what I had bought to go along with his costume. So needless to say Hunter was a pirate for his party.
