Happy Halloween! So, what are you going to be?

I'm going to be at home - watching TV. We don't even have anyone come for candy.

My best costume ever was the year I dressed as a hockey puck - and I made it myself.

No - it was probably 30 years ago.

What I did - took 2 hula hoops and covered them with black fabric. Made a logo out of white fabric - Property of the NHL - and sewed it to the front hoop. I joined the hoops with more fabric - so it was like a sandwich board.

Wore black sweater and slacks underneath. Had to turn sideways to go through doors - but it was a big hit, and relatively simple to make.

@ Grace- that was pretty brilliant! Might keep that in mind for later years.

I don't dress up. J will be Darth Vader, and is so excited about Halloween. We have yet to make it off our street,he gets SO much candy. We have a few special stops to make, like the guy's house at the bus stop (who gives Jasper treats every day), but other than that, we do our street and then come home and hand out candy.

Halloween seems more fun these days. All the adults kind of hang out and yak, and occasionally enjoy an adult beverage, different than when I was a kid, where it seemed just for kids.

I'm going as a crazy cat lady...lol

I have a housecoat that my friend decorated with cat heads, cat toys and cat tails and I will be wearing cat head slippers and I have 2 stuffed cats that I will be wearing on my head. I will also be carrying around a bunch of stuffed animal cats

I'm going to be out of the house! Actually, we haven't had kids here for years. The houses are too far apart for young kids to walk. The areas around us are semi detached and easier for the kiddies. Rumor has it that my block sucks. (Hey! I always gave out full size candy bars!) I'm going to my niece's. She has a gazillion kids in her area and decorated her house with awesome stuff and mechanical mummies etc. Always a big hit.
