The Story About Picking Halloween Costume for 2013

Well everyone, I know last week it was all about not having enough hours in a day and now it’s almost that time that we start getting are kids ready for Halloween. I know it’s a lot to manage but I love the holidays.  I sometimes even wonder if I get more excited than my kids do when it comes to holidays. Just yesterday I took my kids to go costume shopping and boy was I in for a treat. First off trying to explain the costume thing to a toddler is quit a task. Every single costume he saw he had a priceless look on his face. I asked him “do you want to be Elmo” he said “NO I am Pierre!” I couldn't help but to laugh. After about 1 hour of this back and forth conversation of customs and Halloween we finally decided to go with a monkey costume (Not by his choice) that was really cute. Then it was my 8 year olds turn to pick out his custom.  I was so excited to pick out his at the Spirit Store because I was hoping to browse for me as well. To my surprise my son had a break down in front of the store and would not step foot in side. I could not believe that he was so scared that he would not go in. I tried everything.  I even got desperate and offered to pay him! He was not having it. I was kind of disappointed being the big kid that I am. So we turned around and got into the car costume less. We are going to try a more kid friendly store like Toy R Us. Although this is a fun and excited time for our families we still must remember safety. There are a lot of families out enjoying this time of year so remember to keep the little ones in your sight, don’t forget the flashlight, and a map of your area. I found this really great web site http://www.cdc.gov/family/halloween/. It gives really cool safety tips and a lot of other real neat stuff. If you guys have some other really cool safety tips that you don’t see at this web site please share them with us.
