Re: Halloweeny Poll
1. Do you decorate your home for Halloween? a little bit...DH loves Halloween so I am slowly collecting decorations
2. Do you dress up? What will be your costume this year? We've never dressed up. Mainly because we're not big on Halloween parties....we dress the dogs up though!
3. Do you give out treats for the kiddies? What will you hand out? We haven't in the past few years because the dogs go nuts with the constant knocking and door bell ringing. Sometimes we'll put a big bowl outside to let kids get their own....usually kit kats, reeses peanut butter cups, etc.
4. Do you go to any of the Halloween attractions around the state? Which have been your favorites and why? (Haunted houses, pumpkin patches, etc etc) We got to a corn maze that's close.
5. What was your favorite and/or most creative Halloween costume growing up? I was a tiger in a cage haha I wish I had a picture but it was basically a black body suit with a golden glitter tiger on it....then I work a circular thing around my neck that went down to mid calf with silver strips of material that made it look like a cage.
6. Do you have a favorite Halloween/horror movie?We watch the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown thing but we don't do horror movies in this house haha1. Do you decorate your home for Halloween? I will be, even though DH doesn't want me to!!

4. Do you go to any of the Halloween attractions around the state? Which have been your favorites and why? (Haunted houses, pumpkin patches, etc etc) I loved Kersey Valley Spookywoods last year. I went to Woods of Terror on Church St in GSO a ways back, and that one was good too.
5. What was your favorite and/or most creative Halloween costume growing up? I'll go with most creative, since it's definitely not my favorite... My mom is a trekkie.... and she sewed my sister and me star trek uniforms that we wore for like 3 yrs in a row.
6. Do you have a favorite Halloween/horror movie? Hmmm... Treevenge... it's HILARIOUS, and only like an hour long.. try seeing if you can find it on youtube, it's great.1. Do you decorate your home for Halloween? No, but I put out a fall wreath and decorate the mantle for Fall.

(Haunted houses, pumpkin patches, etc etc) No, I had a horrible experience at a haunted house when I was younger and will never go back. I've always wanted to do one of the corn maze things (not a scary one though) but can't ever get anyone to go with me.
5. What was your favorite and/or most creative Halloween costume growing up? I'm not usually creative. But when I was little my mom would make some of my costumes (princess, etc...)

3. Do you give out treats for the kiddies? What will you hand out? YES! We are the full-size candy bar house in our neighborhood.
