Happy Halloween! Let's take a journey, shall we? A journey to Halloween's past. I've always enjoyed dressing up. We have a ridiculous amount of pictures of me dressed in some sort of getup, running around the house - or neighborhood - like a madwoman. So naturally, a night where you're allowed to dress up and don't get a lot of unusual & judgemental looks or comments is a night that I am okay with. Let's start with when I was 1 1/2. Mum dressed Abi & I up as little angels. That's the beauty of it all : you dress up as something that you're not. Pretty sure Ab's and I weren't angels. She sat on me, I pulled her hair, and I would wake Mum up every 2 hours to eat. That poor woman . . . nevertheless, the chose to dress us as angels. I like to think we're cute ^.^ This is one of my favorite childhood pictures. 4 years old, my Mum told me what trick-or-treating was. "They just give you free candy?!?" Needless to say, I liked this concept. I also liked dinosaurs. A lot. It started young. And my mommy made me a dinosaur costume for Halloween. You can't tell from the picture, but I even had green spikes all the way down my jacket and my tail. Just look at that face. Who would dare deny it candy? 5 or 6. I wanted to me Esmeralda from The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Can you see the resemblance? I can't . . . I should've been the goat, Jolly. We're both really white, really feisty, and make really weird noises. . . . This was not a good Halloween for me. While it was a clever idea, and we were cute together - Abi being a nurse (like her daddy) and me being her patient - you would not believe the extent at which I got teased at school because of it. This . . . was also not a good Halloween for me. The one time I willingly went as a princess. Coincidence? I think not. This was one of my favorite costumes - of Abi's and mine. Abi was a hobo, I was a big, shaggy dog. Why did I love this costume so much? Because if I played it right, people legitimately thought I was a dog. I got to use it on a Christmas float a year or so later, and everyone thought I was a sheep. Good times, good times. Unfortunately, I couldn't find the rest of my costumes. Pretty sure the pictures got lost somewhere . . . I think, though, I just dressed like a hobo for 1 - 2 years, then a guy for the rest. Here's probably what one of the earlier guy ones looked like : It got significantly better after that, I promise. Though really, the only thing that was dressing up about it was the wig, and maybe low-riding more. I wear boxers usually anyways, guy jeans happen to be rather comfortable, as are men's T-shirts. Sooo . . . yeah. It's not throwback, but still, thought I'd share this years costume. Happy Halloween everyone :) She was Merida from Brave and I was her mother in bear form :) Also, we went trick-or-treating in a strange neighborhood! I can't even tell you how long I've wanted to do that again, but no one would go with me. Well this girl did, and we got a big box of Cheerios at the first house! :D Win. Also, here's my pumpkin from this year. I'm kind of excited about it.
