    I was a mad scientist and DH was my robot creation! I can't find a picture of me as the mad scientist though, only the robot...

     ~ S & L 8-25-12  ~
  • Hah, I love the piñata one
  • Love it? Hate it (you're wrong if you pick this one)? I love seeing all the kids out trick-or-treating. And, I love any excuse to decorate! Halloween is the holiday that makes me most sad about not having babies though.  DH loves it SO much and I always think about how much fun he'd have with a little one at Halloween.

    Favorite costume you ever wore? Bonus points for PIP  I don't have any pics, but my parents made fantastic costumes.  I remember my Dad cutting up many many green garbage bags to make an Oscar the Grouch costume.

    This is one from our first Halloween. We were "white trash"...

    image


    Favorite Halloween candy? Anything with chocolate and peanut butter.

    Least favorite? Candy corn.

    Trick or treat? We love trick-or-treaters!  DH does a really good job of decorating the yard...complete with smoke machine!

    Favorite Halloween tradition? Decorating and hosting the trick-or-treaters

    Favorite Halloween movie (in general not the series)? It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown

    What is your ideal Halloween? Nice weather for the kids!

  • I try to love it but I just can't. My birthday is two days after Halloween and I always ended up with Halloween themed parties. Sometimes you just want to celebrate your birthday without wearing a costume.

    Worst costume? (Again bonus PIP points) Playing Carley while H played Ricky Bobby.  I hated looking that trashy, and I just didn't pull it off well.
    Best costume you have ever seen? When the majority of our fire department showed up to our Halloween party in their jackets, boots, and Speedo's then proceeded to dance like Chippendales.  Best Halloween party ever!
    Favorite Halloween candy? Popcorn balls....hands down.
    Least favorite? Those orange and black wrapped taffy type things.  Gross.
    Trick or treat? Trick.  
    Favorite Halloween tradition? Going all out with decorating our house.  Equipped with outside blow up decor, lights, spider webs, creepy eyes on the door, a smoke machine, and H dressing up to scare the older kids as they trick or treat.  We have a blast doing it, and we love that the kids in our town look forward to it.
    Favorite Halloween movie (in general not the series)?  Casper
    What is your ideal Halloween? Big Halloween party after handing out trick or treat candy.  Setting up to scare the older kids as they come to our house, then a big party in the back yard with a bonfire, bobbing for apples, creepy made food, etc.
    Favorite character from The Nightmare Before Christmas? FFC: I've actually never seen it.

  • Love it? Hate it (you're wrong if you pick this one)? It's ok. I don't love it, but I don't hate parts of it. I do hate the gory, gross, scary stuff. I am dreading the Halloween movie preview commercials that I'm sure are about to start up soon.. ugh.

    Favorite costume you ever wore? Bonus points for PIP: Probably Cleopatra when I was around 10. Or Cindy Lou Who.. but that was a Christmas dress-up party vs Halloween! ;)

    Worst costume? (Again bonus PIP points): Please, any costume I've ever worn has been nothing short of amazing..

    Best costume you have ever seen? No idea

    Favorite Halloween candy?  Sixlets, KitKat, Reese's cups, candy corn... as a kid though, I loved when we'd get rice crispy treat balls...

    Least favorite? tootsie rolls (except the flavored ones.. those are yummy)

    Trick or treat? Tricks are always better.

    Favorite Halloween tradition?  The only thing I can think of is that my dad and I like to pretend to give out onions, potatoes, carrots, etc. Usually the kids give us a weird look then reach for it, then we pull out the real stuff. It's really a lot of fun! We had one kid 2 years ago that was SO excited about a carrot.. like, he say no to the candy and took the carrot and ate it righ tin front of us. It was hilarious!

    Favorite Halloween movie (in general not the series)?  I don't like Halloween movies at all, unless you count Charlie Brown and even that is just "meh".

    What is your ideal Halloween? I have no idea... Halloween isn't really a big deal to me so I haven't given it much thought! Maybe one in which we have only cute, grateful, age-appropriate children in costumes (no adults, no babies, no brats, no "i'm going as a teenager" teens, etc) and they stop ringing the doorbell by 9:00.

    Favorite character from The Nightmare Before Christmas? I've never seen it.

    In Christ alone my hope is found. He is my LIGHT, my STRENGTH, and my SONG!
