Halloween!!!
I LOVE Halloween!
Here in northern Virginia,
Halloween is the peak
of our gorgeous fall color!!
Soooo, I have to make sure
our home is decorated and
ready to celebrate
All Hallows Eve!!
I DON’T buy our
Trick or Treat candy
until the day before…
because we’d eat it
up for sure!!
What’s your favorite candy story from Halloween?
Did your parents go through your pillowcase of
candy and check it all out?
Did you get 2 pieces of candy every day in your
lunchbox for months until it was all gone?
What was your most treasured Halloween
costume as a child…
or teen….
or adult?
Did you go
Trick or Treating
with siblings or friends
or always with parents tagging along?
Did you play any
mean tricks????
Were any tricks
played on you??
Soooooooooooo…..
are you ready
for Halloween????
I am!!
When I was little, my grandmother made me a witch dress, complete with separate collar and a cape embroidered with spiders and bats. I played dressup in that thing for years!
ReplyDeleteWell Polly your house looks spootacular. All the questions you asked went for my children. My daughter is probably around your age and I did all the things you mentioned. The year I remember most was when Nicole went as a pumpkin she was so
ReplyDeletecute. We made most of our costumes out of things at home. I don't remember buying any , we just used our imagination. One year we had an adult party and that was such fun. I miss those years. Blessings Sandra
Your house looks so fun! I love all your decorations - I need some more! I'd better get busy. Have a wonderful Halloween!
ReplyDeleteOh Polly your home is just decorated absolutly beautifully. Unbelievable!!!!
ReplyDeleteHere in Aussie we did not celebrate Halloween at all when I was a child but over the past twenty or so years it has been growing in popularitty here.
My DD2 and children love to celebrate it.
I really feel I have missed out after seeing your home.
Have LOTS of fun Polly.
Oh yes like you I would eat the sweets if they were in my house too early. LOL

my favorite halloweens have been with my kids! It's funny i really don't remember what I was when I was a kids, but I love when my oldest was little and my Mom made her an Elephant one year and a Dinosaur the next! They were the best costumes EVER!
ReplyDeleteI love your decorations.Enjoy halloween and have fun day.
ReplyDeleteWe don´t celebrate it.
Love it all! Thanks for the tour!
ReplyDeleteIt's always a treat to see all of your great decorations. Living in Northern Canada as a child we often had to wear our snowsuits under our costumes and trudge through snow from house to house.
ReplyDeleteLove all your decorations-autumn is my favorite season. My favorite costume was when I dressed up like a hobo in denim overalls, one of my dad's shirt, tied a bandana on a stick and scruffed up my face with a little charcoal. It was so fun.
ReplyDeleteSadly we didn't celebrate Halloween in NZ when I was a child, but I do recall my Dad making a 'turnip lantern'. Your decorations are delightful!
ReplyDeleteIt's been lovely seeing all those preparations for Halloween. It's not celebrated as much here in Australia although I always have some sweets as occasionally children do go 'trick or treating' :-) When DH and I were in the US in Mar/April this year we noticed some houses with decorated front porches or yard for Easter...that was nice and not something we see in Aus either :-)
ReplyDeleteSince I'm from a really, really small town, we could go to almost every house for Trick or Treat! I was very good about making my candy last at least until Thanksgiving or longer. My best memory is the year my Aunt and Uncle grew a giant pumpkin. They carved it into a Jack-o-Lantern, and somehow he put it on the hood of their car. We drove all over town with a giant, glowing Jack on our car!
ReplyDeleteOh Polly - your hosue is SO FUN! I want to come visit - to come and trick or treat you! Bet you've got some good candy over there :)!! Really CA-UTE! And can't wait until you can reveal the new gift you're makin!
