Halloween Past

Halloween Memories...1998 & 2000
For many years, our house has been used as the Trick or Treat "Home Base" for all ages.
Here is how Halloween 1998 began-this is just one of many years of group Halloween Photos. The man behind the mask is Jeffrey. Andrew and Paul were already out collecting candy at this point. No time to waste being photographed... there was some serious candy to collect!

This is how Halloween 2000 Began...
Yes, Ben had a perpetual Army costume...after he was Luke when Nancy made the Star Wars Costumes. without a pattern!!!!
Note the size of their Candy Bags (pillow cases) These photos of Ben and Jeffrey definitely tell a story.
From the moment they left, Jeffrey and Ben RAN door to door. Upon their return...oh my... they definitely got the mother-lode. Those pillow cases were full! They were seriously proud of the large territory they had covered during Trick or Treat. I can still remember hearing them talk about their adventure and delight in the fruits of their evening's labor.
I must say, I miss these days.
Meaghan, Katherine, and Becky
I think Katherine was a pumpkin for at least 3, maybe 4 Halloweens. Meaghan and Becky were Katherine's favorite babysitters. They were so sweet to take her Trick or Treating to a few houses before they hit the pavement for some serious Trick or Treating. Note Becky's shoes! So cute!
Trick or Treat!

Great memories! This was a fun Halloween. If those cheerleading uniforms could talk.... (Seeing them makes me miss those days) Thanks for the walk down memory lane. After 2 children and 3 pregnancy's, my memory is in serious danger. ;)
