Halloween and it's Aftermath

Well, October is FINALLY over and with it, goes the costumes, candy and decorations for what proved to be a great Halloween season. We had the Children's Party at work on October 29th and that was a huge success. Lots of candy and decorations and even a clown for entertainment.

I had that Friday off and Halloween was on Saturday. The kids and I (with my dad in tow) went to Babies R Us for some supplies. I've gotten accustomed to knowing exactly how much formula (powdered and/or liquid) to buy without breaking the bank. The one thing I can suggest to all parents is to look for coupons and trade what you don't use!!! Just because I don't use Huggies diapers or Good Start Formula, doesn't mean that someone else can't use the coupons/checks and save money! I'm all about trading. Like on Saturday, I used a few coupons that I had traded for with a fellow mom and was able to save about $10.00 in formula, wipes and diapers. It may not seem like much, but in this economy, every penny counts.

Sunday was another odd day, with Daylight Savings ending and everything. AJ was kind and let us have the extra hour of sleep before we all got up and enjoyed a late breakfast. Now that October is over, we can look forward to my birthday, Thanksgiving and then Christmas. Before you know it, it will be time for us to board a plane to Disney! Which reminds me...I better get to booking our flights!
