Re: Friday Five (Halloween Edition)
2. What candy did you hate getting as a kid? Necco ?(those chalky discs)
3. Best costume from when you were a kid Minnie Mouse or Little Red Riding Hood
4. What's the coolest costume you've seen from anyone! Probably DH's Hockey zombie outfit- he looked like a battered hockey player, with a hockey stick sticking out either side of his torso (he cut it and screwed it into a motocross plastic body shell he was wearing). I'll have to post a pic later!
5. Plans for the (scary) weekend? Going to a funeral for our neighbor (DH and his mom have known her for many years) tomorrow, trying to make homemade ravioli (homemade pasta too!) and starting on my next knitting project- a scarf for my SIL. I finished the booties and have to post a pic of those and the mitts too! They are pretty cute :-)

2. What candy did you hate getting as a kid? Almond joy, never a fan
3. Best costume from when you were a kid My mom made me a really pretty butterfly costume one year
4. What's the coolest costume you've seen from anyone! Hmm, nothing is coming to mind. We were at the costume store last weekend, and there was this little boy dressed in a full out bear costume, paws and all. He was so adorable. Probably not the coolest I have ever seen, but I am drawing a blank right now.
5. Plans for the (scary) weekend? Tonight the gym.
1. Best candy to get for Trick-or-Treating? Anything that was full size. I remember going to houses and word would spread that someone was giving out big candy and everyone was soooo excited.
2. What candy did you hate getting as a kid? Those ones that come in the black and orange wax paper stuff? Ew.
3. Best costume from when you were a kid? I was Ariel...that was awesome. My mom made it and it came out so great.
4. What's the coolest costume you've seen from anyone! I really don't know. Every year someone just blows me out of the water with awesomeness.
5. Plans for the (scary) weekend? Nothing really. Maybe going out to a bar on Saturday night with some friends (although I don't have a costume yet). Sitting at home and watching football and Nascar on Sunday while handing out candy!
2. What candy did you hate getting as a kid? I don't remember....
3. Best costume from when you were a kid My mom made this really awesome gold fish costume. It was a huge hit!
4. What's the coolest costume you've seen from anyone! Drawing a blank; I was out last year at Halloween and there was a lot of creativity but nothing that I can remember.
5. Plans for the (scary) weekend? Tomorrow: yard work, putting up x-mas lights, winterizing our house, working out, and hopefully getting to sew! Sunday: church, Packer game, and then avoiding trick or treaters.

1. Best candy to get for Trick-or-Treating?

2. What candy did you hate getting as a kid?
smarties - they taste like chalk...i don't get it
3. Best costume from when you were a kid
my mom sewed my sister and i these really cool clown costumes one year, they were amazing! and my dad painted my entire face like a clown. i think they had more fun than us
4. What's the coolest costume you've seen from anyone!
my friend once did 'barbie and ken" with her boyfriend, complete with a cardboard box and a plastic window to see them through. so creative!!!
5. Plans for the (scary) weekend?
um, nothing. isn't that sad? it's DH's birthday tomorrow, but he never wants to dress up for halloween. i can't wait for trick or treaters though!!!
1. Best candy to get for Trick-or-Treating? Dum Dum lollipops, Bit-O-Honey, or Hersey's milk chocolate (though at present I have an aversion to chocolate... isn't that sad???)
, so I'm looking forward to chilling and resting at home. DH and I will likely spend the weekend doing Halloween-themed quests and picking up virtual trick-or-treat bags in our online game (it's not us, but gives you an idea):

3. Best costume from when you were a kid Gosh I do not remember...
4. What's the coolest costume you've seen from anyone! I went to the Castro district in San Francisco the last year they held the city's Halloween street party there (back in the 90s) and saw this beautifully done up glamour gal... come to discover it was a guy in drag... I was super impressed, best makeup job I've ever seen, more convincing as a woman than some women I know.
5. Plans for the (scary) weekend? Well, I've had enough scares this week
