Halloweens past

Since I don't appear to have anyone dressing up this year and since I recently found these in the bins of photos from my mom's house...I've decided to share pictures of Halloweens from my childhood. :) These are the years I have pictures from:

Yes, apparently I was Wonder Woman for my preschool Halloween party. :)

This pumpkin costume is from 1981. I know that Zach was a littler pumpkin alongside me that year but can't seem to find a photo of that. I remember, too, that my mom stuffed our pumpkins to make them fuller and keep us warmer but that then our little arms stuck straight out and we couldn't reach things, lol.

Halloween 1982 was the year of cardboard, lol. I don't know why mine got spray painted and Zach's got wrapped in tin foil and I'm not clear why there's a red rectangle on my chest, but we seem pretty happy about it all. :)

Again, can't find any pictures of Zach for 1983 but I went as a belly dancer/gypsy.

Yay, a group picture for 1984! I'm not sure what Bekah's supposed to be (aside from adorable) but Joe and I make cute clowns.

Yes, there are perks to being the oldest and getting the new costume, lol. Princess in 1985 apparently. (Notice how Bek didn't have to get her pumpkin stuffed so she could still use her arms...)

In 1986, I see an Optimus Prime, a two year old who didn't want to wear a costume but did want to get her face painted like everyone else, a vampire, a witch and a punk rocker.

Joe was a tiger, Cas was Mickey Mouse (not Minnie! lol), Zach was a zombie, Bek was a bunny and I was a mime. And this is the last year I can find a Halloween picture of from when I lived at home. I know I trick or treated at least once more during high school (as a ghost, so inventive, lol). I remember going with my friend, Vanessa, and she pretended to be the older sibling taking me trick or treating since I was as short as the kids and the ghost costume meant no one could see me, lol. Beyond that, I wonder why there aren't pictures of my sibs after this for Halloween. I have plenty of pictures from all the years for other stuff, but none for Halloween. Alas. 

Anyhow, I was just loving seeing these old pictures and thought you might enjoy them, too. :) Thanks, Mom, for all the costumes and happy memories!
