#201 - halloween

this was one of the most fun halloweens i've participated in. i don't even remember what i did last year or in the years recent past. for the first time in over ten years i went trick or treating. no, i didn't just take a kid trick or treating. i actually went door to door with a little bag, hoping for candy. yes, i know i am 28 but that didn't stop me. the "adults" at the doors didn't seem to notice i was older than average, they still gave me candy. i was with a couple of 8 year olds and a middle schooler dressed as a milk carton. i was dressed as a hippie. you can't really say no to a hippie, right?! it was cool because we went out for less than an hour so it didn't get boring. i kind of remember being out for hours when i was a kid, getting pounds and pounds of candy. although i didn't get the quantity this time, i sure did get some quality. lots of reese's cups, some twizzlers, a full sized crunch bar, and lots of snickers. yay sugar high!
the most fun part of this was making halloween theme foods. we made bloody eyeballs, a brain, swamp juice, finger foods and severed toes. it was all delicious! here are some cool pics.

having 8 year old friends is awesome! perhaps i am still 8 at heart, it was pretty darn fun! maybe i didn't get enough of that when i was little. who knows. it's kind of cool to do stuff with other peoples kids and hope that someday i'll be able to do it again with my own. maybe by then i will grow up a little more and not feel the need to actually trick or treat. maybe not.
