This is Halloween

The best costume I ever wore… would, hands down, have to be the time I was Carl from up.  My sisters and I decided to dress up with some dear family friends of ours who had two daughters, who at the time were the same age as my sisters at about 12 and 9 years old.  It was a beautiful night, the air was crisp, the breeze rustled the withering red, yellow, and brown trees, and we were rocking the trick or treating scene.  We were all characters from UP. I was Carl, one of the girls was Ellie, my sister was Russell, the youngest (and smallest girl) was Kevin the bird, and my youngest sister was the house we dragged around (with Dug the dog painted on the side).

                

     My favorite Halloween… was of course the one mentioned above, when I had the little group of UP characters.  It was a beautiful night and seeing all of the little kids in their adorable costumes was wonderful, but the best part of that night was the people I was spending it with.  I had a blast with all of those girls, who were all my little sister, whether or not by blood.  We spent the entire night giggling, completely slap-happy on sugar, as we wandered from house to house impressing all of the owners with our creativeness.

Spooky orange pumpkins whisper

Sweet words to the wind

The little witch and

The miniature bat-man take

Candy from strangers

I was putting my Halloween costume when I heard something moving around in my closet… there had been some rustles before, but I had figured they were just a breeze knocking some clothes around or something like that.  The noise was getting louder, I couldn't ignore it now.  It was freaking me out.  If it had been any other day other than Halloween, I would still be completely creped out, there was something in my closet, possibly watching me as I changed into my costume. Really, really weird. I grabbed a pillow and three-hole punch ruler that had been sitting on my desk, and slowly walked toward the closet door. As the door slowly opened, I was attacked with claws and screeching.  My brother had thrown my cat at me.

My favorite Halloween treat would really have to be anything with good chocolate (really any chocolate but Milk Duds).  This year, I’m getting some Lindor Truffles to enjoy while I hand out candy.
