Stacey thanks the candy company that tastes like Halloween

Monday, August 30th, 2010

**oops, I just noticed I used the wrong form of "sight" (but too lazy to change my card to Brach's!)

Despite the fact that it’s not even September, suddenly it seems like Halloween candy and spooky decorations are lining the aisles of every store I visit. Usually season hopping annoys me, but this year, since I’m so excited for a break from the heat (pregnant swamp ass continues), I gladly welcome the early signs of fall. However, I must admit, I feel totally behind the eight ball this year. I know it’s only the end of August, but usually, I start thinking about my Halloween costume on the previous year’s All Saint’s Day (that’s November 1 for all you non-Catholic heathens). In case I haven’t mentioned it before, I LOVE Halloween. It’s my favorite holiday. I love everything about the costumes and candy and fall leaves and pumpkin seeds and scary stories told by firelight; it’s all perfect.

But this year, I’m still at a loss for what to be. If my little baby turkey was debuting BEFORE October 31st, then it would be a no brainer — the entire family would dress as the Village People. But since Baby #2 won’t be popping out until November, I’m afraid Grey, Ollie, and I just wouldn’t be enough of a crowd to do the YMCA-singing 70s disco band justice. So what to be?

This year I’m feeling even more pressure because I’m pregnant. I’ve never been pregnant for Halloween before, and I feel like dressing for two has got me stressed! I could be the typical pregnant nun, but that seems trite and overdone, so I find myself surfing the Internet on the countless costume sites during bouts of insomnia for knocked-up costume ideas. Plus, I also feel like I want Ollie’s costume to be really good. He’s two, so I figure this may be the last year I can dress him in a costume of my choosing. By three, I figure he’ll be well on his way to demanding I let him be some cheesy character from the latest Disney movie. Barf.

Have any ideas? Send ‘em my way!
