Halloween is near!

I don’t have little Ghouls or Goblins in the house anymore, unless you count the pets. They’re pretty creepy sometimes. Mary wants to dress the dogs up for Halloween this year, but I think I’ll pass. It would be kind of cute, though… ummmm…. no.

I love seeing the little kids in their costumes this time of year. A lot has changed since I was little and each year donned my ‘gypsy’ costume, wearing every piece of costume jewelry my mother owned and so delighted to wear some of her lipstick!

I found some memories here on my computer and thought I’d reminisce a little with some pictures.

The Princess Years

One of the very precious ‘princess’ moments we had with Dayna. She was still 100% Disney back then!

In Indiana she was a cute little blonde witch!

Later, Mary wore this purple dress with a different effect.

When Mary was born I discovered scrapbooking, so I have a lot more pictures of her. And by the time Mary was a cute elfish creature, Dayna was an aloof preteen who didn’t want her picture taken. (sigh)

2001 was fun!

Dayna and her friend were twinsies…

and Mary was a very happy Scooby…

One year we had a very cute dolphin!

We found this costume at Sam’s Club. She wore it right out of the store! It was perfect for a cold Halloween in Indiana.

As Mary got older, and you may remember this, she was out of ‘cute’…

2009 vampire

I think she was a cute vampire, though. She and Tracy had a good time! More fun with the make-up than the candy, I think.

I looking forward to see the little ghouls and gremlins tomorrow night!
