Frugalistas say today is the day to purchase leftover Halloween decorations, candy and costumes. One year ago I was at Toys R Us, and I got great Halloween costumes for a buck a piece, and used them as Christmas presents for my dramatic daughters. Hallmark stores and places like Target have the best options for decor, but when it comes to candy I really don't need any extra bite sized bars, gummy spiders, Twizzlers, or Fun Dip. But, if you do, be my guest. And, remember your mother taught you to share.

*www.SheKnows.comPsychologist Dr. Kevin Leman, author of The Birth Order Book: Why You Are the Way You Are, says that your position in your family has tremendous impact on who you are, who you marry, and even what career you choose. Because the family dynamic changes with the addition of each new member, every child is essentially born into a different version of the same family. Your personality and behavior are determined by the unique interaction that takes place between parent and child and among siblings.
First born achievers
First born children enjoy a very special relationship with their parents. They get to receive undivided attention and every accomplishment is treated like a big deal. First time parents often try very hard to make sure that everything is perfect for their first born son or daughter. Because of this special dynamic, first born children tend to be perfectionists and over-achievers. Leman says, "first borns are our nation's presidents, our mayors and our PTA presidents. If there is a position of authority, you can bet that it's a first born personality."
The middle child
Whatever personality trait has been adopted by the first born child, the second child will become the opposite. "The first two kids in any family are night-and-day different," Leman says. The middle child will often excel at something that the first born child is not as good at. For example, a first born may be very good in school, while the second child is gifted in athletics. Middle children often play the role of peacekeeper in the family, mediating between the older and younger siblings. The practice that middle children get negotiating their place in the family typically means they have strong social skills and get along well with others.The baby in the family
The youngest born in the family grows up with experienced, more laid back parents, which in turn makes them more laid back as individuals. Leman describes last born children as being the comedians of the family that are social, outgoing and engaging. They typically have fewer responsibilities and have more freedom to do things their own way, which makes the baby of the family free-spirited and creative.• Get more She Prep at www.ShePrep.com
