There are so many good sales this time of year, the kids need new winter clothes and shoes, as do I, we've got some major holidays coming up, and then there's the Nutcracker Market.
Oh, the Nutcracker Market. It just brings out the money-spender in me. Shopping for and spending money on things I would normally never buy. Flashy shirts, flashy jewelry, decorations, and chocolate-covered everything. Ok, fine. I spend money on chocolate-covered anything no matter the time of year or event.
You know who really does like spending money? Meaghan. She was my partner-in-crime again this year. Maybe she brings out the money-spender in me - it's quite possible. Shopping is her favorite sport and spending money is her favorite hobby. She can give you a valid reason for everything she wants to buy. She can give a valid "to-buy" reason for everything I want. And she's very convincing.
This is our third year, and I must say...I am really liking this little tradition.

| Busy shopping and making decisions. |
 |
| Taking a break to eat chocolate-covered popcorn... sprinkled with M&Ms. There's no such thing as too much chocolate. |
 |
| Once shopping is done we do some people-watching. Quite entertaining, even for a 4-year-old. |
 |
| Then of course you have to take silly pictures. |
The credit card statement will be ugly this year...but the experience was beautiful.
BTW, this should for sure be my spouse's favorite post when he reads the money part - which is the entire post, I guess. We just won't tell him how much money.
