By Kay Krhin  

Should I just go buy a bunch of mylar balloons anda barf bag and hand them to Ben and call it a day?

Nah...

I am justa procrastinating parent when it comes to procuring Halloween costumes.  

I know, I know. You should buyyour kidscostumes the day that they are put on the shelves ... July 5th.  

Otherwise, come the afternoon of October 31st you are leftwith an obscure, picked-over, wrong-sized selection ofcostumes. (And the only thing left on the candy shelves are those orange and black wrapped peanut buttertaffy filling-puller-outer thingees.)  

I guess I am a commitment-phobe when it comes to settling on a Halloween costume.
