HOME TOUR

So I learned a few things last night, eight to be precise. And now I pass them on to you. I’m just a ball of wisdom these days. Soak it up people.

(1) You’re likely going to get easily frustrated when you have a Pinterest idea floating around your head and you can’t pull it off because your turd (ahem, I mean child) is going through some developmental leap or teething and screamed ALL DAY LONG.

(2) You should probably NEVER EVER go to a Halloween store on HALLOWEEN, you will likely meet some weird people that you want to tackle or say mean things to, especially when baited by your screaming turd (whoops, did it again, child).

(3) You’ve married the right person when they leave you crying in the car to rush into CVS on a mission to find bear or tiger ears for your (Pinterest’

s) stupid costume idea (even though you are already late to the party to begin with).

(4) It’s perfectly possible to cry big real tears while trying to cut stupid wrong color felt (mustard yellow) with dull kitchen shears.

(5) And it’s the wrong color felt because your stupid Michaels was out of the perfectly appropriate orange color (who runs out of that stuff on Halloween? Don’t they know orange costume emergencies make up 75% of their annual Halloween business. Good grief).

(6) Halloween is stupid.

(7) Maybe it isn’t Halloween’s fault.

(8) When you’re done crying about your first failed attempt at a group costume on your baby’s first Halloween, there is still CANDY to eat. And there in lies the silver lining my friends. CANDY.

Thank goodness for friends who made that Halloween fiasco more fun then we could have imagined.

Prior to being a brave little lion that had to deal with his parents all night, sweet Cade was a grouchy pumpkin. We love this little guy. Next year kiddo. Next year momma will get her act together a couple days BEFORE Halloween.
