Oh, look! ^ Someone else is behind, too! Now I don’t feel so bad!

I LOVE dressing up for Halloween. Even on years that I’m not SOMETHING in particular, I dress goth. It’s the only day of the year that I can acceptably dress completely unlike myself. This year, I was Amy Winehouse. Only, because of the namesake thing, I went by Amy Winedrinker.

Rules in my house:
Candy MUST be inspected and all questionable Reese’s Peanut Butter cups and Almond Joys (For The Man) must be confiscated.

That’s about it.

I love dressing up! I am a senior in high school and No one dresses up unless it is required by student council or something. This year of course halloween falls on a wednesday so I decided to be different and wear my Spock outfit complete with ears and emblem on my blue long-sleeve uniform. it is so much fun to get a reaction from people who know me as the quiet girl in school. It’s halloween, for goodness sakes! I love it!

My 83 year old Mom comes over and hands out our candy while we take the kids out.
She wears a witch hat and a mask. I don’t have the heart to tell her she looks dressed for the occasion, even without the mask. How’s that for cold?

No dressing up for me! Too many flashbacks of my Mom in previous get-ups when I was little.

LOVE Halloween costumes, it is the purest form of letting loose and showing creativity. Even if your creativity comes from a box in a store.

The boys will be bumblebees and the mama will be a beautiful flower.

No rules here, but when Kiddo is older, I’m pretty sure the #1 rule will be: don’t get caught eating his stash.

I used to until I got fat.

Well and kids. By the time we’ve figured out theirs, not thought up mine in time. Not much can do on five p.m. on Halloween night.

Though I’ve tried to convince my hubby to be Shrek to my Fiona. He won’t play though.

I still dress up. My husband wants me to dress up for Halloween; does a sex kitten count? Went once to pick up my daughter at a friend’s house Halloween night after having answered our door all evening in little black dress, furry ears, a tail, and drawn-in whiskers. Friend’s Dad looked AMAZED when he answered the door. Totally expected another sticky kid and totally did not recognize me.
I was Fairy Godmother to Sugarplum’s Cinderella once. That was the best one.

I don’t judge people that dress up. But for me…I HATE Halloween. I think I got it from my mom. Yes, I blame her.

Not that you were asking, but I’ll share my Best Costume Ever: Baked Alaska.
Cut out a cardboard state of Alaska, hung a b*ng around my neck (borrowed from a roommate, of course).

Also, one year: The Catcher in the Rye. Covered in slices of rye bread, catcher’s mitt.

Sadly, I never won a single contest. There was always that OTHER dude.
