Let's just get it out of the way and move on.
I haven't blogged in a very long time.
Look back at the last blog and the whole explanation is there.
Mom stuff...yadda, yadda, yadda.
Done.
Moving on.
Halloween!!
Ok, we're not big celebrators of Halloween in our house.
We're more fans of Jesus. You know how it goes.
But we have a little one. And what is cuter than dressing your child up in a ridiculously embarrassing costume and parading him out in front of strangers?
I submit there's nothing cuter.
Except maybe kittens in teacups. That's pretty cute.
But I digress. Halloween.
We took Pookie to the MOA for the...*insert dramatic music here*..."World's Largest Indoor Trick-or-Treat Event"!!
Ta da!
Not because he needed candy, or because we were particularly excited about trick-or-treating.
More because we didn't want to deal with the thugs in our neighborhood who don't understand that no lights on at our house means don't knock repeatedly on the door until our dog is about to have a heart attack and our baby is awakened from his early, but necessary 7 pm bedtime.
Yep, yep, yep.
So, we dressed the little one up like a monkey (VERY last minute CLEARANCE costume scored at Menard's on Sunday night!) and headed out to the Mall for some family fun and some dinner.
And we found both. And then some.
We also found lots of mom dressed in inappropriate costumes, toting around their inappropriately dressed children.
Awesome.
In all my stay-at-home-mom, turtle-neck wearing naivety I forgot that SOME women use this holiday to dress like...well...like ladies of the night...eh-hem!
Yep, yep, yep.
I have a few things to say about that ladies.
1. You are someone's mom. I'm not saying you have to pull out the chest-high jeans, but we don't all need to see HOW you made those babies you're carting around!
2. Lingerie is NOT a Halloween costume. It's not, I promise.
3. The only goodies I want my husband and son seeing have the names Milky Way and Snickers printed on them. So unless your backside and chest-ular area are stamped with these logos - put 'em away!
*And side note: Even if they ARE stamped with these logos - WEIRD - I still don't want to see them - and neither do my boys. Wear a coat. And some long pants. And maybe a scarf.
There, I think I've adequately outlined my thoughts on that.
Until next year. :)
Have a great Tuesday everyone. I'll try to get pictures up soon!
Fantastic post!!! I could not agree more. :) Remember that one time I made the same bold statement on my FB wall and then I was accused of being a horrible person? Ridiculous! Anyway, I second this! Put it away ladies if you don't want to be propositioned in front of your children.
