Hallowe'en 2011
Hallowe'en was, to say the least, different this year. We didn't have any Hallowe'en parties to attend, nor did we purchase the usual pumpkin (or three), put out the Hallowe'en decor and lights, sneak into the boxes of candy that we bought since we didn't buy any, nor even dress up. Life was too crazy for us in October to do our usual Hallowe'en stuff. But, we did, of course, manage to get D-nut dressed up.
We decided on his costume months ago, maybe around his first birthday, and ordered it a few weeks before Hallowe'en. We got excited to get it in the mail/delivered and even scheduled time for any necessary alterations. Only, the company shipped it late. The estimated arrival date was November 3rd. Yes, that is AFTER Hallowe'en. We waited it out and when it didn't arrive on the 28th, we decided it was time to buy a back-up costume. We were a little sad we wouldn't get to dress him up in the costume we were hoping for, but made the best of it and got excited about the fact that we got the back-up costume for a good price, on clearance since it was so close to Hallowe'en.
Then on Hallowe'en, I got a call from Mr.S -- "The costume is here!!" Thank God!! :)
And so, Mr. Manny Pacquiao arrived.
If you don't know who he is, shame on you. Just kidding. Look him up....and watch his fight this weekend against Marquez...for the THIRD time.
Thanks to the Aussies invited us to do some Trick or Treating in their area where the houses are close together, the neighbours participate, and the kids are plentiful. A special thank you to Harry Potter and Kathy Beth Terry for being so patient with D-nut's much shorter legs.

So I've got two pieces of information for you for the fall season.
1. Gymboree now has adult clothing. But they're selling under the brand, Shade.
2. Turtlenecks and sweaters are apparently coming back TOGETHER. Really?! OMG. NO.

Boxing Day

I had to blog about this because I took pictures just for it. Haha! (Stop judging me, you know you do it too.)
So, as has become the tradition, every Boxing Day morning, our (my sisters and me, and this year, our cousin too) crazy husbands wake up after 2 or so hours of sleep and creep out to line up for Boxing Day deals. They declare a "winner" too -- the man who spent the most money and got the most stuff. Really, it should be the guy who spent the most money on stuff that'll increase his electric bill. Just kidding. Mr.S and I were thinking of making a trophy that can be circulated every year to the "winner" in the shape of a massive gift card.
Anyway, that was their Boxing Day.
