Soon enough I am going to be having some scary people coming to my door at the end of the month and how to get rid of these people is shew them away with candy! So I was at the Super Store today getting my thanks giving turkey and my eyes fell upon these nice treat baggies only 20 for $2, so I grabbed three packages. Along my way of shopping I found candy corn. So I scooped about 4 or 5 giant scoops into a plastic baggy. I am getting all excited as memories from my childhood come back to me.
I've had some good treat years and bad treat years. One year all I got were suckers (which I hate the most, because they are hard on the teeth), I am more of gum chewing girl and chocolate bar girl and I love the old fashion kisses even though they are hard on the teeth, but I loved taking them and putting them in the microwave to soften them down a bit.
Oh gosh I spent most of my halloween years with my cousin Lori. I at one time lived in Oshawa Ontario when I was 8 until I was 11. So our first year together Lori, Megan (her friend) and myself were dressed up as cows (thanks aunt Rita... NOT). My aunt had an obsession with cow patterns and cow anything. And her whole kitchen had cow printed walls, cow patterned apron, cow clock (I think you get the picture, right?) So when she was shopping one day for costumes she stumbled upon cow costumes and bought them. When she got home she called my parents to tell them not to worry about the costumes this year and that she had it covered. Which erked all three of us, because we all had major plans of dressing up as the SPICE GIRLS.... Oh there I go now, flash back moment of all three of thinking we knew all the dance routine to each song.
As halloween drew near and we were all getting ready at my place and getting our pillow cases ready (in case some of you never used one, we did to put our candy in it was more durable then the other trick or treat bags). We were all embarrassed of our costumes and were very upset at the end of the night, because we all had crushes at the time. And they saw us and made 'moo-ing' noises at us. Oh how funny it is now that I am older thinking back on it.
The following year we did get the be the 'spice girls' I was ginger spice, Lori was baby spice and Megan was posh spice.
Now I have Aaliyah and she is a toddler and loves everything disney so every year she dresses up as a new character. She doesn't talk as much to be able to say trick or treat so she is my little treat distributor for when I have treaters at the door. Last year I dress her up as tinkerbell and the year before that she was a fairy princess. This year we got this cute little bat girl outfit (which has nothing whatsoever to do with disney, but she likes it). She may not be trick or treating yet, but I buy lots of candy which if I didn't have her will go to wastes anyways. So here's to hoping that we have some fun this year. I am also going to be picking up glow sticks at the $ store to pass out to every treater, just in case. It gets very dark this time of year. I am feeling in the mood for some Hocus Pocus and The Nightmare Before Christmas movies.
