My Favorite Halloween Memories…

Add comments

- Mom making my costume out of what she had around the house & them being the best costumes ever!

- Picking out the biggest pillow case we had in hopes for large loot.

- Avoiding the house that passed out boxes of raisins and almonds in the shell. IN THE SHELL. Really?

- Waiting for the rain to stop before I could start.

- Having to eat an entire bowl of lentil soup before being allowed to walk out the door. Oh the tears!

- Actually being scared to walk up to a decorated house.

- It’s The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown.

- Wigs made out of dyed mops.

- Carving pumpkins into Jack-O-Lanterns with just the old school triangle eyes and nose using a standard kitchen knife.

- Thinking that the fake spider webs were real.

- Separating all of my candy by type, then by what I liked most down to what I didn’t like at all.

- My dad taking all of the candy that he liked before I could eat any of it!

- My parents checking the wrappers for razor blades, wow sad.

- The weird, albeit, thought full “homemade” treats that no one is going to eat.

- The house that passed out soda!

- The house that passed out giant Hershey bars.

- My mom eating all of my Tootsie Rolls!

- Toasting pumpkin seeds in the oven.

- Wax Lips & Vampire Fangs.

- Eating candy until I was sick!

Happy Halloween!
