Happy Halloween, Dear Gracie

October 9, 2008

Dear Grace,

I don’t like Halloween. I hope to hide this fact from you until you’re old enough to a teenager; I don’t want to rain on your parade.

Really, though, I don’t like to be afraid. I’m not one of those people who finds it cool and fun and exciting to be scared. I hate being scared, actually. I don’t like scary movies. I have nightmares.

I would like to forgo Halloween celebrations for the rest of my life.

But… (imagine my long sigh here)

I love you more than I hate to be afraid, and when I got a note from your school about the annual Halloween parade, I couldn’t ignore it. I asked my Twitter friends where I could get a fun costume, and they told me what I already knew. I should sew one myself. I packed up you and your Dada, and we went to the fabric store.

Where I spent $45 on materials to make a costume so that you could celebrate my least favorite day of the year.

I know you’re going to love it. It will make you happy, and it will make your dad happy, and that makes me happy.

Happy Halloween, Dear Gracie.

Love,
Momma

    Can't wait to see what it is! I'm sure Grace is going to be as cute as always :) My baby's going to dress up as Winnie the Pooh in a bee costume (strange, I know... but it was free!) and the 4-yr old is going to be a ballerina.

    Hubby and I finally reached an agreement on Halloween, at least for this year. We'll go to Trick or Trunk at our church, that's it. LB's costume will probably be a football player. Hubby has been given the task of finding a jersey. One less thing for me to do!

    I don't like to be scared, either, but I love Halloween. It's always been a fun holiday with our friends.


    I can't wait to see what you make for Gracie. :)
