Happy Halloween!

It's Pumpkin Time!

I stopped off at the grocery store after work last night and decided to pick up a little pumpkin. I opened the door and said, "hey, Little Man, I have a surprise for you!"

Oh my goodness, I wish I had videotaped the whole reaction because he just went off and starting talking all about carving pumpkins! It was great. He was talking a mile a minute, "we're going to draw a face on it and cut it and put a candle in it and we're gonna love it and we have to scoop out the yucky stuff and...."

I did take pictures, but like I said, I really wished I had videotaped the whole surprise. I didn't expect him to be so excited, lol!

Speaking of Halloween though, I really better hurry up and finish his costume!

I got an email from Well.ca (a company I really like!) telling me they now have Halloween costumes for kids. Great! I think, now maybe I can find a Toopy and Binoo or pumpkin costume for the Little Man.

Instead I find this:

This is apparently a child's costume.

And this:

Why are these little girls posing this way? In very short skirts?

It makes me happy I don't have a little girl, first of all! But it makes me sad for the lack of choices out there for kids to dress up. Since when did Halloween turn into Dress Like A Skank Day?

UPDATE: My friend sent me this collection of Halloween costumes.
