When was the last time you went shopping for a halloween costume for an adult? Did you notice any common theme on the ladies’ costumes? I mean, seriously, has Halloween become an excuse to dress up like the whore you’ve always wanted to be or what? It’s really bad. I would guess that 90% of the costumes for adult women looked like hookers. I was very disappointed because I already have hooker clothes, I wanted something different for Halloween.

Anyway, I found some cute outfits for the kids but didn’t buy anything. Carter wants to be a pirate and I thought we’d all dress like pirates but then Brigitte suggested we dress Gracey as a parrot and let her ride on daddyo’s shoulders. As cute and creative as that is, I haven’t yet come across a parrot looking costume for a toddler. Or for an adult. We want to all dress up but I’m thinking now that the boys may go as pirates and I don’t know what the girls will go as.

I had a fabulous idea of dressing Gracey in something totally gross or goblin looking – how many goblin toddlers have you seen walking the streets on Halloween? You know it would be hysterical. Daddyo didn’t think so. Actually, he thought it would be funny – just not for Gracey. Everyone expects me to dress her as a little princess so I thought I could do that, and then make just her face look like a zombie or something. Again, Daddyo shot that down. I know it’s a little morbid, but it would be so funny.

Since the boys are dressing alike, I thought it would be fun for us to dress alike also, but no way am I dressing up like a princess. Maybe I’ll go at Ragedy Ann. Or maybe we’ll go as clowns. Ooooh! I could be a clown and Gracey could be my puppy!!!!! Maybe not. I’m open for suggestions. I thought it would be fun for the whole family to dress as The Incredibles, but the kids are too young for that. So, please, suggestions? Boys are pretty much stuck on pirates…..so what about us girls? Ideas?
