Halloween Rip Off

I am beside myself right now. Every year about this time I start planning for Halloween. We always have such a good time and I love shopping for costumes that I always starting getting the bug in June or July. Hailey knew what she wanted to be this year, a witch that had a purple outfit, easy as pie. We went online picked one out and presto! Hailey is good.

Now Blake is a little different story. This will be his first Halloween so I have to pick something perfect. After hours (literally) of looking and thinking and changing my mind over and over I finally decided on this ADORABLE snail costume. It is SO funny and sweet and I just have to have it! It has multicolors and cute little eyes that wiggle and stick up.

WHY DID I NOT BUY THE THING WHEN I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY!!!??? I had a gift card that I could have used but because of the shipping I was $4 over and I decided to just wait until I was able to get on a more secure computer and use my credit card. MISTAKE. I went online tonight to show Lori how cute the costume was and they are already sold out! SOLD OUT!!! It's July!!!!! There can't possibly be that many people that pre-plan Halloween like I do....could there?

I eventually found one on E-bay but I just can't make myself pay that much for it... not when I know I could have had it for $12 cheaper than they are asking.....grrrrrr

im really sorry about the snail costume. you were so mad that i was a little scared of you. hey, if we don't find anything as cute why don't we make one with the eyes. that would be so much fun!!!!

How fun! Hate you didn't get the one you wanted. That is the way it goes, if you don't snatch it up then you risk it being gone. Good luck. Can't wait to see them in their costumes.

I know that is aggrevating! What's sad is that some people will buy for cheaper and turn around and make a profit on Ebay. Doesn't seem fair, does it?
