Happy Halloween

Halloween has changed since I was a kid.
I don't believe that there were ever any pictures of me in costume taken -
but it doesn't matter because I always just put on
dad's old clothes and went as a bum -
and I still got just as much candy as anyone else.
Also, my parents use to have over 100 kids come each year.
When they ran out of candy they turned out the lights
and retreated to the back of the house.
We're lucky if we have a dozen kids at our house.
I remember when we would get stuff like homemade popcorn balls,
bags of popcorn and candy apples from the neighbors.
You'd never get away with that stuff these days.

Hard to believe that these pictures were taken just last year -
they have all grown so much since then!




We didn't use to buy all the fancy costumes for our kids -
they were either homemade or those cheap
all in one boxes with a one piece costume and a mask.
But they were still cute and got plenty of candy.


Looks like we may have nicer weather by this weekend -
I hope everyone has a safe and Happy Halloween!
