Trick or Treat, Smell my Feet, Give me Something Good to Eat! For me, Halloween was always all about the candy! When we got home from trick or treating around the neighborhood, Jennifer and I would sort our candy into piles. There was a chocolate pile, a sweet tart pile, the gum pile and the ever disappointing and dreaded raisin pile!
Now that I am taking my own kids door to door, we are starting to make some really great memories of our own. My oldest is only five, so she is just starting to understand the whole trick or treating tradition, but she is definitely a quick study and is actively teaching her little sister the ropes (two bags equals more candy, right?). 
Last year, my daughters decided to be “poodle skirt girls” and twisted their way around the neighborhood in pink skirts, white tights and pretty hairbows! Their matching costumes were just too darn cute and while my youngest was quite confused as to why people were giving her stuff, she had a blast. This year, the oldest decided to go with Hannah Montana and my youngest wants to be the “pink Little Mermaid.” Uh. Um. A pink Little Mermaid? I am still at a loss on this one….all suggestions are welcome!
Because my kids are young, we are just starting to develop our holiday traditions and we are looking forward to many more years of collecting candy on Halloween….pink mermaids and all!

My favorite Halloween memory: When I was about 12 years old, a boy who lived around the corner from me helped me make a scarecrow out of clothes and stuffed with newspapers and we hung it from the roof. When the boys’ father came home and saw it, he was mad as all get out, but it was funny to us.
My favorite Halloween memory is of our firstborn’s very 1st Halloween. We dressed him as Mickey Mouse and he was stinkin’ cute!

my favorite halloween memory was my oldests when she was Esmerelda…I found the costume online and it was also jammies….she wore those jammies until they were way too tiny for her.
My fav. Halloween memory was having my neices and nephews over for halloween and sitting around the table with candlelight telling ghost stories, we had it pre-planned for our friend to show up dressed as the man we were describing in the story and scare them by barging in our house. It was so funny.

My favorite memory is watching my son see another small child dressed up like Elmo in the mall… he wandered after the little boy saying, “Elmo, it’s me. Hey, Elmo?” He was sure that we had to go over and say hi. It was too funny!

My favorite Halloween memory was taking my daughter trick or treating
when she was small
my favorite memory was when I was living on my own in the city as a young adult. I was boarding in an older lady’s house,and she wanted to give out treats to children but she couldn’t get around very well. So I helped her prepare the treats and then we sat and visited, and every time someone came to the door I’d get up and hand them out candy.
It was a great way to spend halloween and I enjoyed the time with her too!

My favorite Halloween memory is dressing my infant son up as a Tootsie Roll! He was so funny & cute! And, then we took some adorable pics of him in his costume with candy scattered all around him.

Walking through the neighborhood with my best friend, her little brother and both of our Dad’s. It was somehow special – as girls we didn’t get to do much with just our Dads.

My favorite Halloween memory is of my two grandsons going trick or treating for the first time. Their wide eyes when they seen all of the other trick or treaters and going to the door not knowing what to do other then hold their bags out without saying a word. They were so innocent then and now they are old pros at it and I still love watching them go trick or treating.

Taking my youngest brother to a haunted house when he was about 7. He jumped,and screamed, and had a great time. That was 25 years or so ago, and he mentions it every halloween.

My favorite Halloween memory was when my Mom dressed me up as a Ballerina, it was my favorite costume as a kid! She went all out, glitter, ribbons, sequins, it was too cute!
I only wish I could make my own daughter such a pretty costume!
