Happy Halloween,  

This weekend is chock full of Halloween festivities. So I thought we could reminisce about our childhoods for a moment.

 

When you were a kid, how did you celebrate this fall festival? Did you dress up in a costume?  Did you go to a party? 

 

We always had a harvest festival at our church and, of course, a Halloween party at school. 

I had several favorite costumes.  One of them was a princess with a long flowing pink  skirt.  My absolute favorite costume was my cowgirl costume.  I had skirt and vest with lots of fringe as well as boots and a hat.  

 

But the reason I think that was my favorite costume didn't really have to do so much with MY costume.  That's my favorite Halloween memory because my brother's costume that year was epic. He was a robot.  Like the classic square-boxed robot.

 

My dad and my brother built it out of boxes for the body, and he had expandable dryer vent tubing for his arms and legs.

 

 I wish I could find the picture because every time I look back to that photo, I get those silly giggles.  And I love it.

 

I always wonder what my kids will remember from their childhood.  What do you think your kids' favorite Halloween memories will be?
