Boooo Whoooo

We hadn’t planned on shelling out the moolah for a Halloween costume this year for Katelyn because she’s only four months old…she’ll never know she “missed” her first Halloween, right? WRONG! Yesterday daycare sent home a note saying, “Please let us know if your child will be participating in the Halloween Party Parade”. What in the world??? How can a four month old participate in a parade? The first thing her teacher asked this morning was if Katelyn was going to be in the parade…the daycare will dress all the children up in their costumes, wheel them around to each classroom to show off their outfits, invite the parents for pictures, and afterwards, they’re going to create a picture collage for the hallway…I felt like a horrible mother as I told her that Katelyn doesn’t have a costume. OMG, is our child going to be the only one not participating in the parade?? Will her little picture be the only one missing from the hallway collage? Hell no! Our child is not going to be the only one left out because her parents were too cheap to buy her a costume!! So now we’re frantically trying to find an infant Halloween costume, one week before Halloween. Sigh. Good luck to us!!
