Halloween

So it's getting close to that time of the year again- the time where I run around at the very last minute (like a chicken with the head cut off), looking for a halloween costume for my little munchkin AND buy candy for the cutsie wootsie other little munchkins that show up trick or treatin' at the door. Can there be ONE Halloween where I have the outfit and candy purchased on time....before the markup on the crazy costumes is so bizarre that you would rather spend that dough on a new tile job in the guest bathroom (so I stretch the truth sometimes, by just a little bit)???
