only a month and a half! :rolleyes:

I'll tell a haloween story for last year:

Me and my friends were out getting candy (for probably the last time) and The lady who answers the door thinks that one of myt friends is a girl. so the lady gave my friend candy and said 'there you go, little girl' :biggrin: so my friend said 'I'm not a girl!' She responded with 'sure you're not'. My friend was a little mad 'no, I'm really not!'. she was embarassed and just said 'oh'


I always get a laugh out of that :biggrin:

:devil: Me thinks yomamma may not be a PF member by Halloween. :devil:
 
no, she really was!
 
Last Halloween the doorbell rang, which alarmed me because I wasn't properly dressed, so, donning my Willam Shatner mask, and arming myself with a large kitchen knife, I went to answer it only to find a person standing there in a William Shatner mask holding a large kitchen knife.

Quickly combobbulating myself, I realized it was a tyke of about ten with a full length mirror strapped to himself.

"What are you supposed to be?" I asked.

"I am you," he replied.

"Well, if you're me, then I'm you. Trick or Treat. Give me all your candy or I'll give you seven years bad luck!"

He burst into tears and turned away to his mother, waiting at the end of the walkway; "Momma, Michael Meyers was mean to me!"

"Stop alliterating in public!" she snapped at him, "Wipe your nose and get in the car!"

For the rest of the evening, I couldn't quite get the incident out of my mind.

I saw all the Halloween stuff out at the store already and wanted to start decorating. Then I decided maybe I should at least wait until October. :rolleyes: I love Halloween! I doubt I'll get any trick-or-treaters though. I'm out in the middle of nowhere with just two rows of townhouses. There aren't many kids living here in the first place. So, I'll probably just get whatever I like and have it around in case one or two of them come to the door, and then I'll have an excuse to eat the rest.

I love halloween for me it's the beginning of the holiday season. I used to set up a cauldron with dry ice for the eerie smoke effect. I had an animated Count Dracula that moved. Those were the days.

What are we going to do for our PF Halloween party this year?

Reminds me of my first Halloween, least that I can remember. I was three and went as He-man, I looked like a body-building midget.

There's nothing more satisfying as a parent than to dress your children up as freaks and laugh at them. :biggrin:
