sunday musings

I just got back from my weekly get the hell out of the house and reconnect with my “me” identity and the house is remarkably calm and quiet…perfect time for a blog.  Not sure I have a lot to say, but if I don’t blog a certain friend will make me feel guilty about it…

Remember how I was bitching about leggings and the fact that the fact that they are “back” is just unacceptable?  Well, someone left me a comment and asked if I remembered stirrup pants.  Sadly…yes, I do.  I had many many pairs.  I’ve been happy that they have at least not come back.  I think I was wrong.  See these….

 

They’re from the latest line of stuff at The Children’s Place. Now, despite my hatred of leggings, I do dress Dramamama in them.  But she’s 4, and they look super cute on her.  But those things up there? No.  Not cute on anyone…of any age…ever.   Unless maybe they’re competing in gymnastics or something. 

I’m so excited for Halloween this year.  The kids are going to be vampires.  Boog came home a few months ago, proudly saying he was going to be a vampire for Halloween (which is shocking to me given his serious phobia of anything somewhat related to witches or scary things) and he’s convinced his sister that she “wants” to be one too.  I kinda wanted her to be some super cute witch, but she is easily swayed by her big brother.  He’s good at manipulating her…he tells her what he thinks she should do and before you know it, she couldn’t have been more set on the idea if she’d have come up with it herself.  By that point, it’s pointless for me to argue with her that she doesn’t have to do what Boog says, because now it’s truly what she wants.  He could be a fantastic politician. 

But I digress…so they’re going to be these people.  Well…much cuter people, in these costumes:

   

So I thought it’d be great for us to dress up as a vampire family for trick or treating.  I’m so envious of those families (*cough…Julie…cough*) who I see walking around all done up and theme-y together.  So I got it in my head that Snoop and I would be wearing these:

    

Hot, huh?

Yeah…not happening.  Snoop shot that one down as fast as I thought it up.  He’s so not into the dressing up thing…he’s such a poopy head.  So I’m doing the next best thing.  I’m wearing this:

While my super duper favorite friend Stacey wears this:

I’ll likely sport some crazy shiny fake eyelashes too…I find every reason possible to wear them. 

And Snoop can be a big old poopy-head in this: 

P.S…The “good witch” “bad witch” shirts are from Target.  AKA…heaven.
