Halloween Story

Hmmm. It's been a very long time since anyone here celebrated Halloween. Since moving here 7 1/2 years ago, we've had not one trick-or-treater, have not done any Halloween decorating. The boys stopped dressing up long ago. I used to make their costumes, one was a wizard, one was a baseball (that was cute). We did the devil thing, the mouse (also very cute), the pirate. You know, every year for the school Halloween parade. Jeff and I have never gone out for Halloween, never dressed up, never gone to a Halloween party or dance or anything like that. I truly have no great Halloween stories to tell. And, truthfully, I'm too tired after coming home to play catch-up at work after a week's vacation to try to be clever and make one up. Sorry to disappoint. ETA: OMG how could I forget! We didn't dress up, but Cody and I went to Salem for Halloween two years ago!!!!! It was AWESOME! If you EVER get the opportunity to go there for Halloween--you simply MUST!!!!! The entire town is just one big party! The costumes are so elaborate! There are so many people, and everyone is great! Wait a minute, let me see if I can dig up a picture--we didn't take many because the camera broke!

That's Cody's favorite character, Jack from Nightmare Before Christmas.

Anyway, it ROCKED!
