Post Hallowe’en Catch-Up: Wherein I Don’t Do It All & That’s Okay.

Yea, I know I’m well past good timing on this post. No matter. I had all these grand plans for Hallowe’en. Given that I am a huge fan of the occasion. Back in the day, y’know – when I had more time for side-line crafty affairs, I would make my own costume. Of more recent years, I would craft up mine and  Last Haloween I even managed to make mine and the BSM’s as well as the WSL’s .

Not so much this year. Although I desperately wanted to. And felt guilt about not doing it. Why is that? Why do we moms feel the need, (well not all moms I suppose, but many) – feel like we have to live up to some glorified Martha-Stewart-dom? Perhaps it was more a feeling like I’ve been slighted. Slighted by myself and the crazy schedule/calendar that I make for myself. Slighted because such things as making Hallowe’en costumes, are things that I truly want to do. Things that bring me great pleasure.

So. Now that I’ve gotten that all sorted out – I let the young lad pick out his own costume (Firefighter), and I grabbed the least cheap looking bunting bag costume for Lil’ Abner that I could find last minute. Hot pepper. No matter what their costumes were or will be in the future, it will be based on their own desires and imagination – and they will be ridiculously cute. No matter what.

No Idea About All This Hallowe'en Hulabaloo

And then they shall be high on sugar. Not too much sugar, but enough (especially if Trick-or-Treating for the fist time as was Wyndham’s case this year), to entertain us parental units and maybe drive us a little bit nuts.

Oh yea. The costumes I thought I was going to make? The Social Media family. Me as the Hootsuite owl, the BSM as Facebook, the WSL as an iPhone and Abigail as the Twitter bird. I know. Right?  Maybe next year. Phhht!
