Halloween Out of a Can
My timing is all off, and it's a good thing my kid is too young to care much about tradition or atmosphere because I'm really sinking into a low energy holiday pattern.
Late last week I strolled alone to a local pumpkin patch, the Food Emporium to you, to find the subject for Felix's first Jack-o-lantern. (Yes, I forgot entirely about it last year.) Many people have told me about their happy pumpkin patch and apple picking outings. I've received the pictures of cuteness to show for it, and I plead no car and no time.
Thursday evening, after Felix tried to carry the pumpkin he didn't select around, and pronounced it "Very, very heavy" he picked out a face for the pumpkin. . . out of a carving kit I found at the local drug store around the block from the Food Emporium Pumpkin Patch. He opted for the ghost, I suspect because we taught him that ghosts say "Boo." I am happy that there was no dragon picture in the drug store kit, since he knows what they say, too.
Surely he won't mind if his mother saves her creative energies for when he's older to appreciate them- say when he's 35 or so or has a child of his own that needs entertaining.
This is not to say that I don't enjoy Halloween and other holidays, but they always sneak up and I find myself without a plan, thus: no homemade costumes, no pumpkin patch photo shoot, no super cool pumpkin design and I am the woman who buys trick or treat candy the night before and winds up with old lady delicacies like individually wrapped gumdrops. My husband says we will gain a reputation as the Dud House if I don't watch it. (Miraculously, this year, there was still some good stuff left at the stores last night, so now we have much too much.)
And then the kicker came Sunday evening when the house suddenly reeked and it was revealed that Felix's Ghost was beyond moldy. It didn't even make it to Halloween. (Was this because I found an inferior supermarket pumpkin? Was our pumpkin doomed because it suffered from the obscure Pumpkin Blight brought on by the wet summer that apparently severely damaged the New York State pumpkin crop this year? Did I carve too early?)
Happily, the neighborhood is compensating for my shortcomings. This afternoon one of the local parks is having some toddler festivities with bales of hay for photo opportunities and all Felix wants to do is climb on things anyway. I'm hoping I can convince him to wear his costume briefly.
Next year, we'll take originality under advisement.

Good day!
My 14-year-old sister Megan came bounding into the kitchen wearing her black bikini. I had little time to react before she jumped up and wrapped her arms and legs around me. She squealed loudly in my ear and I had to grab onto the counter to keep from falling over.
… I leaned down over her body and licked along her nipples once gain. I slowly dragged my tongue down her stomach and tickled her sides. She giggled and I laughed too. My sweet baby sis, still so ticklish. My sweet baby sis, who I was about to make love to.
I love lolitas !! and sex :)
Young lolita it is a best !!!
