Halloween Moments

I was wondering do you have a favorite Halloween memory, story or custume to share? Mine happened just this year. About a month ago I took my 7 year old grandson and 5 year old grandaughter to buy costumes. That accomplished; we then went to McDonalds for supper. It was around six, we had time so I asked them if they wanted to go to the Super Halloween Store, of course they both did. I thought they might get scared but they loved it. We were there for over an hour. They pushed every button and touched nearly all the rubber mask. My grandson got a fart whistle, which he blew all the way home. my grandaughter got skull brains. We bought a Halloween CD with songs for kids. They loved the darn thing. It was a great afternoon/evening. In case you can't tell I love spending time with them and they love it because I am not always in a hurry. They don't realize that with this darn fibro I don't do much of anything in a hurry. I don't dare make to many plans at once.

I remember my youngest, my daughter, had such a sweet tooth. She is now a Mom herself. But, when she was about 5, she had gone trick or treating with her older brother. We always took the huge sack of treats and divided it up and handed it out bit by bit, otherwise, she would really mow it all down in one fell swoop. Well, one morning we got up and found she had located the stash, was sitting on the opposite side of her bed on the floor (so no one would find her), just piling candy into your mouth with both hands. Every Halloween we talk about it. Now, her daughter gets a real bang out of the story - daughter will be 4 in a week. Prayers and hugs.

Don'tcha just love days like that? I know I do. It sounds like you had a wonderful time.

One Halloween, when our daughter was about 5, I took her to the church costume party. It was pouring rain and pitch black outside. When we were leaving, my eyes hadn't adjusted to the darkness and I stepped off a curb and fell right into a foot high PUDDLE! My bag with camera was floating on the top, along with my purse. What got me was when I heard an "are you alright?" and turned around to see the entire youth group standing there!!!

I think the best Halloween memory I have was the year we went to a haloween party at the church and at the last minute I decided to dress up as my teenage son, who was about fourteen at the time. It was GREAT! I looked exactly like him and he was furious! I looked so much like him that his friends thought I was him, and that made him even more mad at me. It was great!

My fav memories are of when I lived on a piece of property that had a small woods at the back. I used to hold open circles there where friends of various Pagan trads as well as non-Pagans would gather to celebrate the New Year, play traditional games like bobbing for apples, share stories and learn a little about everyone's ways.
There was a bonfire in the center and it was always a bustling area filled with laughter, food, candles, everything that makes the holiday great!
The woods would have such a fantastic smell from the fallen leaves,incense, lit pumpkins, food cooking over the fire.
I do so miss those days! I moved from there many years ago, but remember those nights very fondly. I just wish I could have the energy to do it now. I hate having to miss so much because of Fibro! >:{

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
