I don't know what it is about Halloween that makes me want to be a kid again so badly. Every year I have this overwhelming desire to dress up (and eat candy...but that's not just on Halloween). It was always such a fun holiday at our house - and we had a unique trick-or-treating experience. Since we lived on a farm and our neighborhood encompassed about 10 square miles, trick-or-treating was an all night thing. We would get home from school, have dinner, dress up and head out in the car with Mom and/or Dad to make our rounds. Each stop on our route meant not only getting candy, but we "went visiting" and were at each house for at least 30 minutes. Better yet, since Andy and I were the only kids in the neighborhood, we didn't get little fun-size bars....but KING size! :) How fun is that for a kid? One of my neighbors always made popcorn balls - and every Halloween, without fail, I have this craving for a popcorn ball!
Now that I'm older, I enjoy seeing all the kids stop by in their cute, little costumes. There are some very creative people out there! Until I have my own kids, my poor doggie has to deal with my love of this holiday. Last year she was a bumble bee, and this year she has her choice between a rooster or a pumpkin. :) She hates it. Happy pumpkin carving!
