One of Craig's former co-workers has a son the same age as Gabe and invited him to a Halloween/costume party on October 24. We're going to go shopping for a costume this weekend. We're thinking maybe a pumpkin outfit or something. Adults are probably free to wear costumes, too. I'm open to dressing up, but Craig is not so much, lol. If I see a costume that would be a total blast to wear and I can't pass it up, then I'll consider buying it.
I actually really like dressing up and have always loved playing pretend games when I was a kid. We used to have "Harvest Parties" at my church while growing up. We could dress as Bible characters or anything that wasn't devilish, like a vampire (I think this is the case, someone correct me if I am wrong). Anyway, the Harvest Parties stopped because a member of the church complained about it still being a celebration of Halloween.
Meh.
I don't have hangups about that anymore. It's cool and fun to dress up, end of story. Christmas and Thanksgiving have their roots in pagan holidays and churches don't have a problem with those. Ah, but that is another story.
I wrote a new post on my Café au lait blog about Obama getting the Nobel Prize today. If you haven't already subscribed to it, just click the orange button at the top of page.
