Trick or Treat
By JENNY WHITE
I am so sorry I haven’t been in to chat much these past few weeks. Between working ahead on the next Charm, getting up a zillion photo galleries to help our site get 5 million + page views this month and making plans for a new content management system for the site, blogging, regrettably, gets pushed down to the bottom of the list of things to get done.
I can’t believe that October is almost over and Halloween is already upon us. It seems like school just started! How can it be almost November already?
Anyway, my house is candy stocked and all decked out for Halloween.
Due to their age difference, my kids’ Halloween costumes look more like a puzzle of “what’s wrong with this picture,” than two siblings from the same planet, much less the same family.
Thomas is a crazed killer. Yes, I said a crazed killer. Look, it’s Halloween and he knows he’s not really a crazed killer, so give me a break. And in my defense, last year when we bought the costume, I didn’t know about the fake blood special effect until we got it home. I’ve tried to figure out how to disable it, but somehow it always becomes enabled again.
I got Emma the most adorable orange and black tutu to wear with black and orange leggings and onesie. Check out this website if you’re in need of a TuTu. I would describe her as a Halloween sprite/fairy/ballerina person. Unfortunately, she doesn’t seem to like the TuTu and when I put it on her she becomes immobilized, seemingly unable to move any part of her body, except for her mouth, which expresses extreme dislike of her first Halloween costume. Between my crazed killer and screaming, TuTu-clad baby, people are going to slam the door in our faces while we’re trick-or-treating Saturday night.
I am currently weighing my extreme pleasure in seeing her look so adorable against her extreme, and unexpected, dislike of the TuTu, and we’ll see which way we go on Saturday night. I’ll take pictures and post them.
In fact, let’s show off all the cute kids in their Halloween costumes. Email me your pics and we’ll post them for all to admire. I may even throw in a special giveaway for the best pic….like maybe…..a gently used cute orange and black TuTu…..
Email pics to jwhite@coxnc.com with the subject line of: Halloween
Happy Halloween!
Will she have it on, come Saturday night, or not? (Isn’t she so adorable?!?!)
