Life seemed so safe, then.

At the time I couldn't find a pattern so I had to wing it. I made a huge tail and by the time I got it stuffed it was so heavy it kept pulling his pants down and it was impossible to get into and out of the car. It was not one of my better efforts,but he loved it and said it was the best costume ever. I have the best son ever! Now he is 26 and I really miss trick or treating together. I always dressed up usually as a witch and I loved going around the neighborhood and seeing all the other kids in costume.<BR/>Thanks Artsy Mama for such a great blog!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19411959.post-63968848961187942072007-10-31T23:07:00.000-05:002007-10-31T23:07:00.000-05:00Actually one of my fave memories was when I was ju...Actually one of my fave memories was when I was just a kid. <BR/>My parents had decorated the house all scary and played spooky music on the record player in the background. I was dressed as an ethereal looking snow queen. The doorbell rang and I opened it while my parents hid behind the door rattling chains and going "booooo". This little boy in a pumpkin costume was just pale as a ghost and when we closed to door we watched through the window as he ran all the way down the street as fast as his little legs could carry him. :oPErika Cass Designshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15626557093624391814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19411959.post-89922423448348500122007-10-31T22:57:00.000-05:002007-10-31T22:57:00.000-05:00Happy Halloween Kari!

My Mom had put us in skirts and blouses and we all went around the house and she started adding things. She put some make up on me, a bangle bracelet and put a doily on my head. I was a gypsy! I was so happy but then...wait...the big surprise...we were now going to go "trick or treating!" I had never heard of it! You get dressed up, ring doorbells, say "trick or treat" and you get candy! I was hooked! :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19411959.post-61374434485147055962007-10-31T22:02:00.000-05:002007-10-31T22:02:00.000-05:00I have many memories of costumes and trick-or-trea...I have many memories of costumes and trick-or-treating. I love the neighborhoods around my street where I grew up. The houses are old and beautiful. I remember very specific houses that gave out unique things. One house where someone worked at Coke and they handed out Coke and Diet Coke. Another house across the street where two old german sisters lived. They handed out apples and were very nice. Another house handed out full size cand bars, which was always exciting! Another house handed out packets of cocoa. I can imagine in my mind's eye where these houses are even now.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing, as always!<BR/>JessJesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15895611891233742307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19411959.post-62010078606117494012007-10-31T21:30:00.000-05:002007-10-31T21:30:00.000-05:00Your children are SOOOO cute, even sweeter than th...Your children are SOOOO cute, even sweeter than the cupcakes! <BR/><BR/>When I was little I got sick on Halloween, disappointed and sad I couldn't trick or treat.

I was invited to a haunted magic house party, and it was pretty scary, but I realized half way through, that I would be having a great time if I was with my next door neighbor. We had both just moved into our apts. and had only known each other for about a month. When I came home early, he was waiting for me and asked why I had cut my date short. When I told him that I thought it would have been more fun with him, we knew then and there that we would always be together...and have been for 30 years this month.

My poor 6 yr old daughter was exausted and wanted to go to bed so I stayed up until midnight frosting these things. I layed them all out to dry on drying racks and in the a.m. discovered that my dog decided she need a little halloween snack and climbed up on the counter and ate every last one of them....except for the black cats! I had to rush to the grocery store that morning and buy store bought cookies (horrors!) Now a days my family is lucky to get a cooked meal!

Back in the 'olden' days, we would trick or treat just a few houses, but we knew everyone. There was always several homemade treats, invitations to inside to drink cider or hot chocolate. I always felt so bad, cause I didn't like cider (who knows why), but I loved the cookies, popcorn balls and other yummy treats.<BR/><BR/>There was also one guy who every year said "Trick" back to us when we said trick or treat...we just smiled--unless we could skip the house.Sherrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13286507883431431558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19411959.post-57181290508968686192007-10-31T18:19:00.000-05:002007-10-31T18:19:00.000-05:00Oh fabulously cute post!

(no cell phones at the time!) Eventually my husband and his buddy came to the rescue.. ( I had let the kids trick or treat on the street we were on. My husbands buddy drove us back to our town and dropped us off about a mile from home so the kids could finish trick or treating.. so we did that and walked home.. only to realize that I had left my keys with my husband so he could take care of my car... we were locked out! so we sat on the porch eating candy til he got home!!! as much as a disaster as it was.. we had fun!<BR/>have a great night!!<BR/>vivianvivianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05322440068809986226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19411959.post-62673849900915025682007-10-31T17:18:00.000-05:002007-10-31T17:18:00.000-05:00Oh what fun, making cupcakes...love the eyeballs o...Oh what fun, making cupcakes...love the eyeballs on the hat...I have so many favourite Halloween memories...watching my boys dump their bags of candy and then sort through what they liked and whatever they didn't like came to moi!!!
