Hallowe'en Ideas

Hallowe'en is around the corner and we still haven't made a costume for Margo. Are we taking her out trick or treating? No. Are we taking her to some Baby & Mommy Super-Action Packed Hallowe'en Extravaganza? No. This is just what Donna and I do for fun; we play dress-up with Margo. Then if we're feeling especially wacky, we have a tea party with Margo and Mr. Wabbit in small chairs and smal table.

This still doesn't address the lack of costume ideas.

We could dress her as a first-year university student, because both eat all the time and neither have the common sense to know when to go to sleep.

Maybe Dr. Jeckyl and Ms. Margo, because her moods during the day and the evening are as different as... well... night and day.

She could also pull off either a werewolf or a hobbit, because she has surprisingly hairy ears. I guess dressing as an old man on a beach in Florida wouldn't be that far of a stretch either, for the same reasons. Though, I don't know if they make black dress socks and sandals in her size.

Look, I'll be honest with you: I've been writing this blog entry for a little over three hours, interrupted many times by a baby who is overtired and just can't fall asleep. Donna is in bed right now for a well-deserved rest after staying up with her for the past week. At this point, the only costume idea that comes to mind is for Mommy et Papa, because I'm pretty sure that we could pull off the zombie look right now really, really well.

Soon come, soon come.

I know maman et papa desperately need sleep and right now it's hard to hear "this won't last forever" especially need she's screaming right next to your eardrum and you're trying to calm her down any way you can, all the while wondering how can something so small make such a loud noise. Much the same as - how can something so small smell so rotten when she fills her diapers.

Adrian use to look down at Arielle as he was towering over her to change her diapers and try to look stern as he tried to cajole her by saying, "shame on you....and you a grown baby and all." She'd cackle and croon as she'd look up.
Course, it wasn't always like that either, She was a colic-y baby for the first month or so.

Enjoy.

Terry, do you just have a word randomizer that strings various nouns and verbs together to form non-sequitur sentences.

That would be weird, but 20% cool at the same time.

I tried to find a link to the site that translates other sites into Mr.T speak, but it's a dead link. Have to settle for http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/calculate_convert/piratetranslator.html
