So with this notion we have made some changes in our household the last two weeks! We needed to live in some updated yet warm/fashionable fall clothing. It was that time of the year when I take a huge gulp and say "ok, so you've grown some" to everyone in our house. Then I look at my account and "shudder" because I know that hasn't grown much either! HA! Well the clothes are living in seem to make everyone happy~ A strange idea to go with the likes of living in the materials we love. Here is our latest loves and attire~ we are prepped, have bags ready and Halloween can make it's debut!
I got me a new hat~ with a pair of jeans; phenomenal fantastic make your butt look good jeans! I think every Mom should have a pair of jeans that make them feel awesome. Period.
And the kids; oh the kids are in their lil glory world. We received the costumes for Halloween as noted and let's say that they have not wanted to come OUT of their costumes since then. After much debate with a 3 1/2 year old girl; we finally came to our final decision after about 6 days. *barf* I MEAN SERIOUSLY!? My first big argument was her 1st choice; but only AFTER I saw the costume online. oooh, the evils of online shopping. I think I have a problem with liking online shopping too much, but this whole experience was just ISH when I came across all the costumes, not only for women; but also little girls and preteen girls. They were just "wrong" from a mom's perspective. I could go on and argue my point about this topic. But I am a Mom and when you are a Mom, you get what I'm sayin~ But I'd also say; Dad's get this topic too. Hey Dad, what kind of attention do you want your daughter getting?? Anyway~
So we had the likes of a princess, a turtle, a bee, bat, Mario, Ariel, Dora, Snow White and many more. After seeing her 2nd pick of Ariel~ I said ok; first pick Mario wins! We will see if she does the "stache" during trick-or-treat time.
Ahhh, now on to the boy! He always makes it easy on me when it comes to choosing the costume each year. He knows what he likes and will tell you straight up to make sure you know what he likes. Keep in mind however; if he does not control what he likes he will push to make sure he can control it. LOL~ My lil controller of the world! BUT~ no debates here, there were two things that put a ding in his ear. We had cockroach & fly. Easy! Easy more for the fly costume however. Cockroaches have lots of legs and apparently when you are in the market for a costume of one; be prepared to pay hefty for those legs. So wings and a mask are more easily attainable! Here is lil man rockin the fly costume.
And, last but not least I have found this mascara that I love now too! Every Mom also needs a good eye opening mascara for those days when you want to close your eyes and sigh.
It's great too when you need to also open them wide enough to know that these damn costume moments fly by too quickly~ Eyes to see that your children; as picky as they may be, teach you so much more about your own control over their future~ let go of some control here and there; they may impress you!
Here is my new fave mascara anyhow <3
Why is it awesome? Well it has the thinnest and longest/lean wand I have ever seen in a mascara, makes them look a mile long and natural to boot. I asked myself the first time, well why do I have to do like 4 coats to see the blast? Don't worry; the thinner the wand~ the longer the lashes with NO clumps. I'll take it! CG if you're wondering brand.
See told ya I have an obsession with makeup~ Here's a cheers to the weekend!
