Halloween Flashbacks!

Around here we love Halloween! Both (yep both) my parents were born on Halloween and when we lived in Arizona my dad would dress up in this black robe put on a skeleton mask and have a sword in his gloved hands. He would sit so very still and after the kids got their candy he would start following them down our long darkish pathway to the driveway. I could almost trick or treat in my own driveway since kids seemed to drop stuff as they ran away sometimes. It was wonderful!

Our town was small but Trick or Treating was amazing. We knew all the short cuts and could get from neighborhood to neighborhood easily (though those short cuts were kinda scary late at night!)

Now living in the bible belt, Halloween is pretty weak (and very disappointing to a person who loves Halloween like me!) We usually hit the mall to see all the costumes then hit one suburb til the girls dont want anymore candy (or we run out of houses whichever comes first) My family and My sisters family always end up at my parents house to celebrate. One year Shane was talking and holding the gorgeous fall cake I picked out for their birthday and let it slip and it hit their wall, staining it red and orange. We still tease him about it.

Anyway, you know I love costumes and I wanted to share the costumes my girls have worn in the past years! And since this is my blog I'm going to!
