You asked about a favorite Halloween memory. I think it might be the first year said husband and I were dating when I showed up to his Halloween party in a bride's dress (from my first wedding, actually--talk about scary!!). He saw me through the window and freaked out ("Commitment??? Argh!") until he came outside and saw the blood. <br /><br />Bride? Bad. Bride of Frankenstein? Good.

And the Ghostbusters costumes sound kick-ass. <br /><br />Jenks, we never seem to get nearly enough kids to take all the candy.<br /><br />What does a bus costume look like?<br /><br />A few years ago before we left WI, we had friends over for dinner on Trick-or-Treat night, so my friends took drunken turns admonishing kids in their costumes and refusing to give them candy.<br /><br />I don't remember Halloween being a big deal in college, partly because it didn't get all frosty and cool in Texas. <br /><br />Best Halloween memory after the one I mentioned above was years ago when Steph was quite young yet. We went to a 'haunted woods' which included a walk through the local nursing home so all the great grandmas could see all the costumes. One of the 'haunters' jumped out from under the bridge at Steph, who promptly kicked him in the shins. I think she'd have kept it up and broken a few ribs if he'd dropped.<br /><br />We also had the year that Lori and the girls buried me in the leaves in the front yard. They'd hand out candy, and as soon as a child took the bait to shuffle through the leaves, I'd jump out and grab them. I had a pillowcase over my head so I couldn't see anything, but I swear that little girl wet herself while I could hear her dad, at the street, laughing his ass off.Elliotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13623810021177960310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5781586185594177386.post-63106661205506052742010-10-28T12:31:08.310-04:002010-10-28T12:31:08.310-04:00My mom and dad really got into Halloween. One yea...My mom and dad really got into Halloween. One year they, on the day OF Halloween (because that's how they did it) decided my sister and I should be Ghostbusters. The outfits were corny, but fun. We each had boxes made into "power packs" on our back....with 2x2 proton guns. People put candy in the boxes on our backs, instead of carrying around bags. And, there was a switch on my gun. I flipped the switch, and it turned on a tape recorder in my box, playing the Ghostbusters theme song. it was awesome!!!!<br /><br />(Is that a cassette tape in the basket in your picture?)Nejhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00982042722943000994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5781586185594177386.post-7093290198690078282010-10-28T10:24:39.562-04:002010-10-28T10:24:39.562-04:00As for best Halloween memory?

My daughter was a mermaid, which made for fun walking, and my son was a bus.<br /><br />We wandered far and wide in our neighborhood, hitting lots of houses. It was a beautiful night, the kids pulled in a great haul, and I didn't have to carry anyone home.<br /><br />This was made sweeter (pun intended) by the fact that very few people disturbed the bowl of candy I left on the front stoop with a sign "Happy Halloween! Help yourself!" Which meant I got to sicken myself on Reese's cups.<br /><br />I'm a helluva influence as a father.MJenkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12761003604210840898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5781586185594177386.post-45622844358939310072010-10-28T10:22:06.704-04:002010-10-28T10:22:06.704-04:00My college-year Halloweens were largely unexciting...My college-year Halloweens were largely unexciting. It was usually Little Sibs weekend at St. Joe, and people would bring their kid brothers or sisters up to stay for the weekend. The kids would then go and trick-or-treat through the dorms. This led to a definite lack of togas. Or something.<br /><br />Not to mention, my senior year was the year that Stinky Sam put the cockblock on me with Anne Marie Vidal, so...MJenkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12761003604210840898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5781586185594177386.post-68496282773590714712010-10-28T09:34:39.878-04:002010-10-28T09:34:39.878-04:00BWAHAAHAHAHAHAHA!

That's a toughie because I have always loved this time of year. I'd say any of the 4 Halloweens I had in my college years would win, even though (or because?)
