The monster mash




The monster mash; that's what I say the little guy is doing inside me and has been for months now. He's been a very active little monster. Tomorrow is Halloween, which is my favourite holiday of the year. I love to dress up, watch scary movies, consume candy, give out candy and generally do Halloweeny stuff (though we all know my obsession is not limited to one day only). I haven't organized a costume for this year. With a baby due a week after Halloween, I figured if I put any effort at all into making a costume then he would just arrive early. But if I didn't, then he would be late. So the monster isn't here yet and I have no costume. However, I'm not sure where I would wear this costume anyway. Nobody trick-or-treats at my house as I live on a busy road with no sidewalk in front of the house. Anyway, I had thought of being a pregnant nun, deviating from my traditional witch or demon ensemble. The trade off of minimizing Halloween is that I will be able to celebrate Halloween bigger and better with my son in the coming years!
