In any case, yesterday was Halloween, and I have some thoughts about it.
Halloween isn't Halloween unless I have pasted my children into a silly picture
As I have done every year, I present to you the annual Griffattolo photoshop.
"But wait," you may be thinking, "shouldn't you have put the kids in the same picture?" I like the way you think, imaginary reader in my head.
I may have gone overboard, but I have two kids now, so that sort of thing is necessary.
Finding the right costume
Hollie and I have one shared goal when it comes to Halloween costumes. It's a goal we didn't know we had when LG was a baby, but having just completed her fourth All Hallow's Eve, I think it's fair to say we've found something that works, and we're sticking with it as long as LG allows it.
A child's Halloween costume should be a giant puffy sack. It's a simple philosophy, but one that has taken hold in our lives.
I don't know how many more years we can keep this up, but dang it, I'm going to keep on trying. The fact that every other girl in her preschool class was some kind of fairy/princess/fairy princess does not give me hope, but the fact that SHE chose to be Cookie Monster does.
It takes two
I don't remember if my brothers and I ever had group costumes. I don't think we did. And it's possible that we won't be able to get LG and G2 to agree to it year after year. But we like the idea, so options for next year include spider and fly (sack with legs and sack with wings!) or Hershey's Kiss and M&M (silver sack and yellow sack with letter!)
Seriously, how great is this?
