Mommy is a Slacker About Halloween

But this year is different..

Dear Ziggy,

Yes, I’ve been lazy. For your first Halloween you were a wee 2 month old and I chose to… do nothing. You were a baby that Halloween. I felt that was enough. I had thought for a moment to dress you like a hot dog. But why? Why subject you to such shame.

For Halloween #2 I chose to purchase some cute skeleton jammies and that was the full extent of your “costume”. I called you Cobra Kai (Karate Kid). You were too young to “Trick or Treat”. I thought..

But now.. your obsession with Fireman Sam has decided your costume. And you’re already practicing for the big day. I taught you how to say “Trick or Treat”. This week we’ll work on carrying your little plastic pumpkin around and saying please and thank you (which you already say all the time anyhow since we drill it into your head every day.)

I hope this will be your best Halloween ever. One to remember.

I love you, Fireman Daniel.
Mama
