Hi!
Okay, I decided that I wanted to blog about one of my most memorable Halloweens.
I remember in 5th grade two of my friends and I wanted to do something completely different from everyone else. My friends and I were always trying to do things in pairs or groups, and also things way out of the ordinary. Well we decided to be Santa, a christmas tree, and an Elf. I was the elf. Our mother's made our costumes for us most of the years, so they were pretty original. We had three Halloween parties to go to that year, 4 including school and we also wanted to trick-or-treat in all of our neighborhoods. We were hardcore trick-or-treaters. Anyways, we won 4 Best costume adwards and had our pictures taken by 7 or 8 different people (people we didn't know). The next day our picture appeared in 2 newspapers, with just a little blurb about our costumes and us.
The funny thing was, it was pouring rain that night, and most of the people saw us as soaking, melted characters. My friend that was the tree, had a big hoop at the bottom and it was full of water from the rain. She also had a battery pack of lights, and they went out. I even had the curly shoes with the bells. It was pretty awesome. The best part was coming up with the idea on our own, doing it together and having fun even though it was nasty out. I do NOT like rain, but that is one of the only times I can remember not minding it at all. This year for some reason I am really in to Halloween, and really miss the fact that I cannot dress up. I cannot wait until there are some fun, older style Halloween parties in the future! There's my story, and I hope no one thinks i am a dork now!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
