The Costume Conundrum
It’s a common quandary before All Hallow’s Eve,
That effects young and old,
Pass any house and you’ll hear a scream,
“For what shall I be for Halloween?”
Sweet or scary,
Fun or flirty,
Oh, what should I choose!
Fuzzy or glittery,
Fairy or princessy,
Either way, I can’t lose.
Perhaps I’ll go strong,
Like Rainbow Brite,
Or Buffy the Vampire Slayer,
staking in the night.
Maybe I’ll grab some pom poms,
To cheer on trick or treaters,
Or don a tutu and toe shoes,
And leap straight into a pumpkin patch or two.
Perhaps I should go to the pages,
Of my favorite fairy tales,
And be little red riding hood or the little mermaid,
With a glistening green tail.
Oh what to do!
Who should I be- a genie or something with wings?
A pirate or hippo queen–
The only thing I know for sure is it must be pink!
What do YOU think?
Stay tuned, Invisible Friends! A new scary story for Halloween tomorrow!

Oh fun! That’s the best part of Halloween. Can’t wait to see what you decide.

I don’t believe I have to decide this year. We don’t even get trick or treaters in the woods.

I go for princess. You can’t go wrong as a princess.
October 16th, 2012 at 9:10 am
looking forward to seeing what you choose!

Yikes, I don’t even know what I am going to be and I must dress up this year, I’ve been lax the last couple of years and it’s time to get festive.

Heehee I’ve been a black cat for like 20 years now! This year I might be Snow White or Little Red Riding Hood. You should be a. . . butterfly. . . or maybe a dragon. . . you do make the best princess though or fairy. Weren’t you a fairy last year?

I don’t dress up for Halloween, but if I did I would go with something scary.
October 16th, 2012 at 6:38 pm
I know whatever costume you pull together will be fantastic!
October 16th, 2012 at 6:39 pm
Now I am very curious to see what is your costume for this year!
Hope you are having a fantastic week my dear

Hippo Queen sounds fun! Or Butterfly Princess?
October 16th, 2012 at 9:40 pm
Are you going as a pink poodle?
October 17th, 2012 at 5:46 am
How about an angel, Miranda?
I think you’ll look pretty with your blond hair!
October 17th, 2012 at 6:43 am

I just bought a feather kitty mask yesterday to answer the door when the little ones come by. Love that pic of you as a little girl–so sweet!

I don’t get out much for Halloween. We do have a costume parade at my barn almost every year. I keep wanting to dress up Riddle as The Riddler. She already has a question mark on her head, so I could paint question marks all over her body. Then I could be Catwoman. We’d be two Batman villains together!
You should dress up as something no one expects. You are the big girly-girl, so you should surprise everyone with something really tough and boyish or ghoulish and gross.

Hippo queen!
October 18th, 2012 at 12:29 pm
I can’t wait to see what you finally decide!
