I’ve always enjoyed this day. Not really sure why. I don’t think it’s the dressing up. Maybe it is the candy. Could be the parties we’ve been too(some doozies 🙂 ). I think though it’s the memories that I enjoy most. My Mom always went above and beyond with costumes. Not once did I wear a costume that was bought from a store. Every one was homemade. Was I spoiled, damn right.
My favorite: an ewok costume. All from scratch. Boy was it warm which was good because that year was bone-chilling cold. I actually think my Mom still has it. Don’t think I fit into it anymore. WIsh I had a picture, I was adorable.
Most memorable: A cowboy costume form 1986. We had a fire in our house that year in August. Leading up to Halloween I said no dress up for me. Well, nine-year-olds tend to change their mind(shocking I know) and I came home either right before or on that day and stated my new intentions. Well in the matter of a few hours, I had a cowboy costume made from paper bags. Utter genius from the Mom unit.
Favorite adult: Last year, I was a beer pong table. 
Nikki was a ping pong ball. We’ve always worked well together.
This year, no dress up. Only real plans is a Pennsylvania themed tailgate at UConn, which all in all isn’t bad.
So what’s your favorite? Movie, party, costume, blog(hello??) whatever. Enjoy the night and don’t do anything overly stupid. Enjoy a couple links. First, the grand daddy of them all:
And one of my favorite songs:
