My....well our love for Halloween

Now I usually don't DARE speak for the Golden Child, but on this rare occasion I may say that our interests are exactly the same...we LOVE Halloween!

Ever since before we were born our dear mother had a knack for crafts and making adorable decorations out of wood.  She would often get together with some of her friends and get design ideas from the endless volumes of craft books she had.  They would plan, the plot, cut, and paint the best holiday decorations for every season.  I believe that from this unparalleled holiday fervor sprang our delight and excitement for every single holiday during the year.

Halloween, every child's dream, FREE CANDY!  I remember being so excited for "Halloween Season".  Countless cobwebs and scary scenes strewn about the house.  It seemed like every year we had a new addition to our festive collection, one year I even endeavored to mimic my mother and her crafty-ness by making a decorative bat.....no it doesn't fly on its own or light up but it's dang cute!  I honestly have hundreds of Halloween stories I could tell ranging from walking miles to a mansion just to get the prized King Sized candy bars, to getting my candy stolen by some jerk when I was 7 years old.  But let's focus on the now.  Here I am, a college student in my twenties, but instead of making wooden bats my projects have evolved to my costume.

I took a small poll from friends before this past Halloween and was baffled to see how many of them (how many of YOU) weren't planning on dressing up for school on Halloween.  It seems common sense to me, a free pass to be whatever I want for a day...you better believe I'll take the bull by the horns and live it up!

To all you dear readers, you may already know (from previous posts) what I was going to be, and to the rest of you...you'll soon find out.  I'll stop beating around the bush and just show you what I mean.  This is what my Halloween 2013 consisted of

I went into a random class of over 450 students dressed as Clark Kent, after about 15 minutes my phone rang out the classic Superman Theme.  Answering the call of a citizen in distress: "What?....Where......?  I'm on my way!" And up, up and AWAY!  You're NEVER to old to celebrate your favorite holidays, you just need to be creative, and yes, aside from the 15 minutes of that class, I did wear my Superman costume the whole day.
