The Nightmare Before Christmas

A little breather

Today I decided to take a little breather.  I have been thinking more and more about Halloween and it has taken up most of my day.  It is just about one week away and I still have to figure out costumes.  Thinking about Halloween and Christmas together makes me think of the movie The Nightmare Before Christmas.  What a cute movie.  The kids and I have been listening to our Halloween music on our ipod all week.  We have it all from the, “purple People Eater” to “Witches Brew“.  This week end we have a party to attend.  I am still working out what we will be.  The theme is someone famous of the opposite site.  Because I have been so focused I think that it would be fun to have Rob be Mrs. Clause and I could be Santa.  He is not as into it as I am.

As far as the Christmas season I am feeling quite good about it.  I have done so much planning.  I must say that my budget is not going quite as well as I would have liked.  Things are just really tight right now.  I may have to look at the budget again in a few weeks and make changes that I need.  There are a lot of things that are already done:

• I have picked dresses out for the girls.
• I have an appointment for pictures in the beginning of Nov.
• I have a cookie list.
• I have downloaded some of my favorite music so that it is ready to go on Black Friday.
• I have asked the kids what they really want.
• I have looked at some black Friday web sites and continue to monitor them.
• I have assessed our traditions and am thinking about some new ones.
• I have bought my craft supplies that I need to get an early start on presents.

All in all I think we are all off to a great start.  The days are flying by and it is nice to know that when they start to go quicker and quicker we will all be prepared!
