1. Because, Aldi.

Saved some money this year and bought Halloween candy at Aldi. I hope the kids like Skattles and 4 Musketeers.

2. And it’s lovely up here.

I woke up this morning to find my kids had cleaned their rooms without being asked. I don’t remember dying, but apparently you can still tweet from heaven.

3. Aww, so sweet.

Snuggling with my 3yo is fun because she likes to point out which parts of me are “smushy enough to be a pillow.”

4. That’s it––we’re calling them crunchy pants from now on.

My kids hate “crunchy pants” (jeans, dress pants, really anything that doesn’t feel like sweatpants or athletic wear) and it’s like hell yeah it’s 2018 why is society still making us wear crunchy pants

5. *Adds concealer to shopping list*

4-year-old: Why do you feel sick today?

Me: What do you mean? I didn't say that.

4-year-old: Your mouth didn’t say it. *gestures at the circles under my eyes* These did.

Ouch.

6. Because you can’t have both.

My 10yo daughter got the American Girl Doll catalog and circled her college tuition.

7. They’ll never find it.

The safest place to hide junk food from your kids is inside a dirty clothes hamper right in their room.

8. Super dad!

9. On-the-job training!

Did I miss the memo that said I had to go through some navy seal level sleep deprivation training to become a parent? Because I definitely was not prepared for this.

10. Just letting you know.

Hey school, you can send as many emails as you want reminding me about picture day, but I WILL forget and send my kid in that day with unbrushed hair and wrinkled clothes they pulled out of the laundry.
