LOL, Shasha!!!! That's great. This time of the year is my favorite too. Particularly when I lived in California, the Santa Ana winds just had this something about them that I loved. The smell and "the look" of night when the Santa Anas are blowing, is so calming and soothing to me. Everyone better post their Halloween get-ups here!

I've been scouring my photo albums for pix to post. I have some pix from over the years. Where they are - I don't know but going through my albums has been enjoyable. (I started looking when I saw Lori's poll Q today.)

I don't like candy corn much, but my friend got me to try her candy corn mixed with peanuts. It is very good that way. It tastes a lot like a Payday candy bar. I love the fresh macintosh apples that are available this time of year. Our leaves are nearly at their peak color right now and are beautiful!

oh yum I just had another thought. Carmel apples. I haven't had one in years. Does anyone have a good tried and true recipe? DH likes candied apples. When we were first dating he bought me one. I honest to goodness got it stuck to my teeth. First bite, whole apple stuck in my mouth! I have never tried to eat another one.

Maggie looks cute Vacanick. They make a Yoda costume that would be perfect for our dog who has natural Yoda-shaped ears but they don't come in her size. My Halloween memories are similar to Darrellh's. One candy I remember was the taffy wrapped in orange and black paper. Our neighborhood would go all out for trick or treat with haunted houses and decorations. One mom dressed up as a gypsy fortune teller and told our fortunes. One year my sister and I made tombstones out of cardboard and raked all the gravel in the front yard into piles to look like graves.

Not much of a candycorn fan, I can take it or leave it. Ilove cotton candy, but that's not a halloween treat is it.

I don't know why but I have always hated candy corn, I think they remind me of teeth or wax, or something, but I just do not like it.

The first year we moved here I was taking Trey Trick or Treating. He was eight. I drove around and found a neighborhood that looked nice and had a lot of kids. He was dressed as a clown. I pulled off to the side of the road and parked. Trey opened the door stepped out and totally disappeared. Then I heard his empty pumpkin going blonk, blonk, blonk. I had parked right next to a huge ditch. When he stepped out there was no ground. Thank goodness he wasn't hurt. There he was, him in one spot, his wig in another and his pumpkin in another. Sad thing was when I realized he wasn't hurt I could not control my laughter. I mean I really couldn't control it. He was so mad at me for laughing. At least now 7 years later he does think it was funny....sort of.

Biloxi, dontcha just hate those holiday mishaps, lol. Dakota's had one good halloween, that'd be last years. Before that she's either been so sick she couldn't go out or ended up soaking wet while trick or treating. One year we'd done are usual halloween party with friends and family and group trick or treating. We were maybe halfway through the neighborhood when a group of teens drove by and started throwing water balloons. Most of the kids got hit with at least one, but as the guys were chasing the car down and our friend was yelling he knew who they were and he was going to their parents, we noticed Dakota standing there. She either got hit with a whole bunch of balloons or got hit with the rebound from everyone elses. The poor kid was so soaked we had to turn around and go back. She was maybe 3 or 4 that year. Couple years later (after missing a few for being sick) we were going through our own neighborhood when she slipped off the curb and fell in the gutter. Luckily we were able to rush her home and change into the costume we'd bought the year before for her, but that was a pretty lousy halloween. Last year was the first year she went and had a great time. She was so excited about how much fun it was that everyone just kept grinning and telling her how happy they were for her.

Yay, more people who adore the colors, sights and fun of October! There hasn't been enough time for me to do decorations around here yet, but I did put out three large pots of yellow mums by the front porch. The Pumpkin Patch has every size of pumpkin imaginable this year, and I've yet to stop and select a few. Hope to do that this week. Gotta have some pie pumpkins, because they make the best pumpkin pies. Makes my mouth water just thinking of fresh pumpkin pie. We can have a very colorful October in this part of the country!

Hermi ... I love the naughty librarian costume! Very hot!!! Btw ... are you planning on trick or treating or wearing the costume to school because that would make a difference in what I chose.

Ok, I have some really tall boots, like knee high. Mocha would be proud, except they lack the pointy toe, but you can beat free, right? I think I will pair them with some fish nets, a short black skirt and some kind of boobie shirt all with my faux fur coat. Big hair and big makeup ought to finish off the look, now to make DH a pimp.
