How can one get excited about something as mundane as socks? It usually means that one must replace* the ones that are worn out (*ah, for a girlfriend who practices the lost art of darning socks!).

#18: I was replacing my favorite pair, which were a fun multi-color stripped pair, that had finally worn out after 7 years. So, although socks are generally mundane, these weren't, and my new stripped pair aren't either!

25RandomActofMuse
Yes, namely that I think we probably won't do them again this year. We live in an area that just doesn't have a lot of kids and there aren't any kid-friendly Halloween things around here. And my kids don't seem to care about them anyway. (Sad for me, I love dressing up fr Halloween!) We didn't do costumes last year either (but we had also just moved in and were still unpacking/settling) and there were no trick-or-treaters at ALL. Maybe next year we'll have the funds to take a trip somewhere more kid-friendly for Halloween.
