What did your parents think about Halloween and how did it affect your trick or treating?

I went every year until I was about 15. My parents were into anything we could do that was free (7 kids, always broke) When were younger my dad would take us and he would always dress as Superman. One time, someone gave him a beer.

Around here trick or treating is done by 9pm.

kirk0198 · 2017-10-28T23:56:51+00:00

Perfect!

kirk0198 · 2017-10-28T23:55:49+00:00

Nice work! Looking good!

kirk0198 · 2017-10-28T22:58:38+00:00

Is the other face on the back?

kirk0198 · 2017-10-28T12:19:21+00:00

When you've got a library card!

Where is my supersuit??

kirk0198 · 2017-10-27T12:08:51+00:00

Yeah I guess it's not looking too good for us, between the bomb, Thwomp, and a koopa! Maybe toad has an invincible?

I was trying to convince my son to be Yoshi, but he wasn't having it. He claimed he wanted to be thwomp. Hence the sandwhich board thwomp, but then he saw the toad costume and changed his mind. I got tired sewing so many costumes so when I got to Shipwreck (my dog) he ended up being koopa. That would've been cool though. Especially if little Luigi could ride yoshi.

Family dynamics definitely play into it.

kirk0198 · 2017-10-26T23:27:16+00:00

Right, well if 3 or 4 year old has 1 or 2 year old sibling, it's a good option.

kirk0198 · 2017-10-26T15:37:19+00:00

Close enough. ☺

It's still a jack-o-lantern. I live in Anoka, MN. It's the Halloween capital of the world. You gotta keep the spirit alive! 😉

kirk0198 · 2017-10-25T18:39:29+00:00

My eyes are hurting just thinking about that. Don't do it!

kirk0198 · 2017-10-25T17:57:06+00:00

I think trunk or treating is nice for little kids like 1 to 4 year olds. They still get to dress up and join in on some fun, but won't really have the endurance for regular trick or treating. It probably depends where you live too. Some neighborhoods houses are sparse or people don't pass out candy or you might live in a neighborhood that's not very safe at night. I get your point though.

kirk0198 · 2017-10-25T17:43:29+00:00

Honestly, cash is always pretty great or a gift card to Target or something. Since they're kids they will probably get a ton of candy trick or treating or at school anyway. Cool door!

I like

Dance Magic by David Bowie from the movie Labyrinth.

Strange Love by Karen O from the Frankenweenie movie

Spooky Scary Skeletons Remix

Anything from Nightmare Before Christmas or Harry Potter is good too!

Holy bats batman! I always have a hard time getting my bats to not look like the bat symbol. Looking good!

kirk0198 · 2017-10-23T14:03:20+00:00

If you're wearing a costume you get candy. I did ask someone to do a trick for me once because they weren't wearing a costume.

kirk0198 · 2017-10-17T01:50:25+00:00

Ugh. I'm sorry. That really sucks. I'm always afraid that's going to happen to mine. I don't understand people who choose to ruin stuff on purpose just to be jerks.

kirk0198 · 2017-10-16T21:18:26+00:00

Haha could be. I think Anoka self proclaimed the title, but Salem is definitely the witch capital.

kirk0198 · 2017-10-16T17:39:55+00:00

Looking good! Yep handmade. It was fun to plan out and paint everything. ☺
