The kids set up decorations and brought tents and sleeping bags. My husband & I chaperoned and helped with food. It was fun to see that things haven't changed all that much from when we were young. The boys were all afraid to ask the girls to dance and stood together on one side of the gym. The girls were on the other side giggling and daring one another to ask a boy to dance. It was a couple hours before they were dancing, but we had such a ball dancing the Monster Mash with those young teens.

About 10 years ago I wanted to take my sweet little neighbor boy on his first trick-or-treat outing . . . he was about three years old . . . quiet as a little church mouse . . . and sweet as can be. His mother said yes and went out and bought him the most darling little Eeyore costume at the Disney store complete with tail hanging off the back end so he would be ready for his first Halloween outing ever. I decided to drive him to the rich neighborhood of Edina hoping for better treats for him . . . and a safer environment . . . since it was his first year and all . . . and he was only three years old. So we are trick-or-treating in the rich neighborhood of Edina going up and down the beautiful tree lined streets with all the families that have their children with them just having a grand 'ol time. He is just having the time of his life running up to the door with the other children and saying trick-or-treat in his cute little baby voice as people at the door are ooooohing and aaaaaahing over this sweet little boy with his darling little Eeyore costume on and throwing all this great candy in his little plastic pumpkin. Well . . . my sweet little neighbor boy gets so excited about whatever little treat he was just given and comes running down the driveway to proudly show me and takes a tumble head first down the driveway spilling candy out of his little plastic pumpkin all over the place. I expected the little boy to be hurt or start crying and was getting ready to run over to him and help him up, but instead he instantly says "oh shit" in a very loud voice and jumps up to his feet and scrambles all over the driveway to hurridly pick up all his candy that he had just dropped. The entire crowd that had gathered around bust out laughing and I just stood there and said "out of the mouths of babes". We finished our first Halloween trick-or-treating outing together in grand style and I still tell him the story to this day.Pegi Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05173666545333404734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7801248634274963717.post-64348419854807243472007-10-17T12:23:00.000-05:002007-10-17T12:23:00.000-05:00Scooping the goop out of my pumpkin always freaked...Scooping the goop out of my pumpkin always freaked me out as a kid.

I loved having her paint my nose black with her eyeliner and giving me wiskers. The costume was adorable, i was probably about 6 years old. The tail was fun to spin around and play with. I won the costume contest at school that year. That same year she made my brothers costumes too- one of them was the Jolly Green Giant- it was so stinking cute and I made fun of him for wearing girls green tights.
