Halloween Questions

The best Halloween costume I ever wore was…

A trash can. I know what you’re thinking, ‘why would you want to dress up like a trash can?’ but let me tell you, it was a lot of fun. My best friend at the time, and I made our Halloween costumes that year. I’m not sure why we decided to be a trash can, but we just did. We cut out the bottom on plastic black trash cans for our legs to fit in and we wore suspenders around our shoulders that were attached to the top of the trash can to hold it up. We wore all black clothing underneath so it looked like we blended into the trash can. We saved some of our boxes and bottles instead of throwing them away and we stuffed our trash cans to make it really look like trash cans. Everyone we saw on Halloween night seemed to really get a kick out of it and we did too. We had so much fun that year, not only be “trashy” but also making the costumes.

My favorite Halloween was the time…

 My friends and I drove a few towns over to a town that I think remember the name of. You see, this was actually the night before Halloween, the 31^st, because the town decided that all of the children would go trick-or-treating the night before Halloween because this particular year, Halloween was on a Sunday and the town wanted to honor God’s Day. My two best friends and I were so excited about Halloween this year because we all had matching costumes. We were even more excited when we learned that we would have two full nights of trick-or-treating, which meant DOUBLE THE CANDY!!! I remember us picking out which pillow case we all wanted to carry. We decided to carry pillow cases with us this year because that meant we could carry more candy with a bigger bag to hold it all. We laughed and played and skipped and had all sorts of fun. I think that was the last childhood Halloween I had with my two best friends in the world and I miss it so much.

The Halloween costumes I’ve had in past years…

I remember one year my mother stayed up all night to make me a costume that I was convinced that I just HAD to wear. It was an Egyptian Princess, because at the time I was going through a huge Egyptian phrase where I just adored everything that had to do with Egypt. My mother used card board and she cut out shapes and strung them together with string and painted very detailed designed on it with bright colored paint and it looked amazing, it wasn’t very comfortable I remember, but it was pretty. I wish I still had that costume, I think I would appreciate it now, and appreciate how much hard work my mother put into it, a lot more than I did at the time.
