Halloween 2013

Dear baby girl,

I love Halloween. I always have. I think it's probably due to the fact that my birthday is only 4 days prior and I had many Halloween-themed parties and happy memories during my childhood years. This year, though, I'm very pregnant and not in the greatest condition to do a whole lot (like go to parties or dress up in costume). Luckily, there are plenty of low-key celebratory things that I've done & will continue to do tonight! Things like....
  • Wearing my pumpkin earrings (which you will undoubtedly come to know and love) for the entire week of Halloween
  • Decorating our front porch with pumpkins and other Halloween decorations
  • Carving pumpkins with your daddy
My initial pumpkin-carving plan was Minnie Mouse, until I realized that she was wayyy too difficult for my pumpkin-carving ability level.
My finished pumpkin - Tinkerbell!
Your daddy was going to carve Pooh, but he changed his mind, too.
Your daddy's YODA pumpkin!
  • Roasting pumpkin seeds
  • Watching some of my favorite Halloween movies/TV episodes - like Friends ("The One with the Halloween Pary"), Freaks & Geeks ("Tricks & Treats"), and of course It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, and the annual Saturday Night Live Halloween Special... all of which we will watch tonight while we are....
  • PASSING OUT CANDY! This is one of my favorite parts of Halloween, and as new homeowners we are especially excited for the first year of passing candy to our neighborhood kids. The weather isn't supposed to be great (low 60s and a little rainy) but we're still hoping to see some cute little kids in costume!
Of course, what we're most looking forward to is your arrival so that we can share these exciting traditions with you next Halloween. I wonder what you'll be dressed up as for Halloween 2014?!

Love,
Mommy
