Halloween Costumes

Times were tough in the depression

My first Halloween home with the kids.

I thought I might take a moment to list the Halloween Costumes I remember being over the years.

• Ninja
• Rambo (Didn't get to go Trick or Treating I was sick)
• Jason (Mom was in Idaho so it was up to Dad and I to put a costume together)
• Pirate
• Clown

• Cowboy
• Construction Worker
• Soldier
• German Tourist
• Shane's Twin
• Han Solo
• Hip Hopper
• An American in Sweden
• Sheriff
• John Cena
• Dust Bowl Farmer
• Not so Authentic Viking
• And you'll have to wait until later this week when I blog about this year's awesome costume.

I was talking with some friends (possibly Diana*) about how when I was a kid after my Birthday and Christmas Halloween was like the best day of the year. I loved trick or treating, and when i was a little older I remember decorating my house and making a "man to sit by my front door. My friend Robin assumed the same pose next to the door and we would scare the trick or treaters. I think that was tenth grade. Last year I spent my first Halloween in Whittier since High School. It was fantastic to go trunk or treating with the kids. I love the idea that you go door to door getting candy. That makes so much sense to me. Last year we ran out of Candy and I was forced to give away quarters as it was my responsibility to answer the door. Tonight should be fun, my roommates and I have awesome costumes and are the realization of a vision I have had for my Halloween costume for quite some time.

Happy Halloween!
