Halloween is my friend Kristen's favorite holiday. Every year beginning in August she starts asking me what I'm going to be. Growing up we weren't allowed to celebrate Halloween. There is only one photo of me in a costume at the age of three, pre-Halloween-ban. (I'm in some clown get-up my mom came up with and for some reason I'm mad about it.) Anyway, as a result I get a little stressed out about the costume question.
Last year I was Frida Kahlo with a uni-brow. This year I'm not sure what to do. So guys...what
should I be for Halloween? I feel like I need to take advantage of my bonus costume accessory this year.
Tips received so far:
- turtle (shell in front)
- watermelon
- pregnant ninja

i have some suggestions (big surprise, i know): 1.)nun (not too original) 2.)pregnant gorilla 3.)man with a beer gut 4.)treasure troll 5.)belly dancer 6.)a cow or cat, with your belly painted pink like the udders.
i'm glad to see you're thinking about your costume, em. i'm very proud.
Keek, I LOVE the cow idea. Where can I get some stick-on udders? I bet if I got those long skinny balloons I could tape them to my tummy...
Are people hanging out somewhere this year?
i propose an overweight woman, but you wouldnt have to dress up for that.
also, maybe you should have a themed duet costume with jono. things that steve and i thought about being: 1)dumb and dumber. 2)the ambiguously gay duo. 3)a bow and arrow (yes, we're doing this one... i'm the arrow, he's the bow). 4) any famous married couple. 5) an old lady with a front butt. 6) a virgin. 7) a bowling ball. 8)a plug and socket (with jono). 9)joseph and mary(preconception).
Well I was holding fast to the watermelon idea but then the image of deflated pink balloons....Hmmmm..
Send pictures!! Love Ant
Emily, I suggest you stay home and lock the door. The evilness of the evening cannot be overstated. Or go to an indoor swimming pool and swim for the evening so you feel better about not being a part of it all. Does this remind you of anything? Love, Dad.
Emily, If you have to go out, I suggest that you be a politician/representative running for the "at large" position. Love, Dad
And you know what? To make up for the foolishness of our parenting ways, you just wait to see what we dress little gorditto in on all those Halloween nights in the years ahead!
Yay, Sheldon Pool! Thanks Mom and Dad. Those were great times.
Seriously though, it was smart of you to have something else planned for us so we didn't resent not dressing up. I loved going to that pool, and I remember distinctly it was the first time I saw a guy with a rug of back hair. Burned in my memory.
