My brother and I - getting ready to go scare the neighbors!

My dad "dressing up" for the picture

Here are a couple of Halloween Memories that I came upon when looking through my parent's old photo album. I guess I'm showing my age by posting these pictures of us in our plastic masks. I remember how hot and sweaty it would get inside those masks. Combine that with a cold Halloween night and you have a very unpleasant combination!

My dad would usually be the one that took my brother and I around on Halloween night and mom would stay home to greet the trick-or-treaters and to hand out candy. Looking back I think it's kind of interesting that they both didn't come. Perhaps they did when we were younger. We would visit houses in our neighborhood and then I couldn't wait to get home to finish handing out the candy. I loved to see all the scary and fun Halloween costumes. I especially loved seeing the really little kiddles.

Both of my folk's have since passed away, so looking back on these photos brings back some bittersweet memories.

What special memories do you have of Halloween?

I hope you get a chuckle out of them and Happy Halloween to one and all!!
