halloween, let's see...
one year when i was a tween, around halloween, i became grounded for some reason and i wasn't allowed to go out with my friends. instead, i had to escort my younger brothers and sisters around. it was really fun running into my friends dressed up and having a good time.
how sad and scary is that?
boo hoo hoo hoo
One year my mom made costumes for us kids to be the founding fathers and their wives. She's amazing.
those are darling! And I must have that apple recipe!!
and my halloween story - when i was younger my brother and i dressed up once and went out t-or-t'ing and then dumped out our bags, changed costumes and went out again. Anything for the candy!! oh and this is how much i love halloween... back when new kids on the block were huge and my 2nd favorite group, my parents got tickets to their concert and i wouldn't go because it was ON halloween and i didn't want to miss out. lame stories, but it's all i got ;)
Lucky me. I grew up at the time you could throw rotten eggs at passing cars, write on windows with bars of soap and leave burning bags of manure on door steps. We had lots of fun doing things you could be arrested for now days. Hey, and I turned out normal "I think".
Please-- I would love the carmel apple recipe.
Sure hope I win the quilt pattern too.

Since my birthday is right around Halloween I used to always have my birthday parties as Trick or Treating parties!! Well one year (maybe around 13 or so) we got egged by some punks. Maybe it was my mom!!!! haahaa. Have pitty on me, and pick me for the quilt pattern!!!!!
thanks for the recipe!!!!
I remember always wanting to be bugs bunny for halloween! The other halloween I remember is.. it was a few days before or after halloween cant remember, but I was home alone and watching a scary movie about how before the Wolf attacked it cut the power out.. well this was out at the bearspaw house, for all of you that know that house you will understand how freaky it was... I went to take a bathroom break and as I was sitting on the toilet late at night all alone....... the power when out! I CAN NOT EVEN tell you how scared I was! I will never forget that..
Cute quilt! I am also very excited about your apple recipe! Nina facebooked that you were having this contest, so I thought I would check it out! I love EVERYTHING about Halloween. I have 5 kids and we spend all year coming up with a theme for our costumes. I love that my kids get so excited to coordinate their costumes. We also love to decorate the house and we search the stores all year long to find cute decorations for Halloween. . . I believe that Halloween can be cute and doesn't have to always be scary. I love candied apples, caramel popcorn, mulled apple cider, dinner in a pumpkin and of course, all the chocolate that comes with Halloween. It is my second favorite holiday of the year. . . number one being Christmas, of course!
ooo I'm in!!! everything looks awesome - and seriously, cheesecake carmel apples??? TO DIE FOR!!! can't wait to try them!
well my birthday is on halloween - which was always kind of fun. I never had trick or treating parties - but definitely had some fun costume parties. My mom always went all out for my parties - so fun! I'm sure my brother appreciated halloween - I don't like chocolate so he always got mine too. Funny, he never traded anything back for it *hmm*
wow those are really cute. and that apple looks to die for.
i remember having to put snowsuits under my kids' costumes because it would be -20 or colder with a ton of snow. thank goodness for places like Old Navy that make those cute padded costumes so they can stay warm :)

Maybe I should ll you about the time i dressed up as a clown for my 7th grade Halloween dance at school and when I got there discovered i was the only one in a costume.
Nah, that's just too embarrassing!

Emily I did the same thing! except it was at the church , it wasn't EVEN a dress up event, and I was dressed as the lady from , nightmare before christmas. I think some kids are still freaked of me, it was a harvest celebration, not creepy costumes.
I remember walking in with blisters on my feet from a night full of trick or treating because no one was allowed to stop before my sugar crazed brother filled his pillow case. Oh those were GOOD times!
xo me
ops, i forgot my story! LOL I grew uo in England, where trick or treating isn't very common. When i arrived in Canada ( actually the day before halloween), i begged my now husband that i would be the candy giver out. every time the door bell rang i squeeled with pure delight! I was SOOO excited to see the kids face. it's still one of my most favourite days of the year :)
One of the most memorable Halloweens was when I was young and my Mom decided we would have "Christmas" as the theme for all our costumes. I was a snowman, my sister Cara was a Christmas Tree and Shauna was a present. They were all homemade costumes and still so cute and clever! I love the homemade costumes very best!!
My favorite Halloween costume was a spider. I filled eight knee highs with batting and then sewed it to a black shirt and put a black nylon on my head with cut outs for my face. I think I was 12. Weirdo!
I never really liked Halloween as a child. I liked the idea of candy, and I certainly liked eating it at the end of the night, but I never enjoyed "begging" for the treats.
I never put much thought into my costumes. Where we live in Ontario, we often had to wear a winter coat out anyway so what was the point of putting in so much effort if no one was going to see it? So, I often just wore a cheapo Woolco plastic mask. The problem with that was that half the time, I couldn't see through the eye holes to know where I was going. So what usually happened was that I would wear it on top of my head with the intention to pull it down in time to yell "Trick or Treat" to some poor soul. Most of the time I forgot. So there was my brother, who really went all out for Halloween trying to make sure NO ONE knew who he was, standing beside his little sister with a big, unconcealed toothless grin! Boy did he ever get mad at me!
