Happy Halloween! :) 

Happy Halloween! :) 

So are you celebrating Halloween? Are you going trick-or-treating or staying home and watching scary movies? What's your favorite candy? And what are you dressing up as?

Here, Halloween is sort of a new thing so some people do it and some people don't. Even though I might be a little old, I'm going trick-or-treating, dressed as Minnie Mouse. I made my own too-too and ears for it! I love Reese's Pieces Peanutbutter Cups but, alas, they do not have them here. :( So I guess I'd say my second favorite candy is Bounty. I love coconut!

Happy Halloween!!!!

I'm dressed as ballerina witch. I have a black tutu, and black leotard with lace cap sleeves, bright green and black striped tights, a black witch hat with sparkly green birds and a sparkly green flower on it, and I spray painted an old pair of my pointe shoes black.

I'm going to one ballet class before I go trick or treating with my cousins. My favorite candy is Reese's.

That sounds like a cool costume, Ivy! 

This year I was Susan from the Narnia Chronicles. I wore a red dress and carried a green camping chair bag with arrows in it. My front of my hair was plaited into two braids and were tied back with a ponytail.

My favorite Halloween candy is definitely Twix, but Heath bars fall closely behind.

Oh my gosh, I totally went trick-or-treating! It was so much fun! I was a steampunk Annabeth Chase (from PJO). I wore my Camp Half-Blood t-shirt, navy blue Yankees cap, Annabeth's necklace, and her knife. Then I wore a brown skirt over a frilly whie petticoat skirt that showed a little bit out the bottom and caused the whole thing to flair out, along with brown, lace up boots, a key gear necklace, purple fingerless gloves with chains and charms I'd sewn on, and a pair of steampunk goggles I'd made. Then I slung my bow over my back. The whole look was pretty awesome!

No offence, but this question should be illegal! What's your favorite Halloween candy?! I can't pick! O.K.,  I guess maybe Jolly Ranchers, since I hardly get those. I also really love Twix, Snickers, Reece cups, and Smarties. Those are my faves, I guess. 

Elizabeth, Ivy, & Teresa: Your costumes sound pretty freaking awesome! I'm thinking next year, I might go as a Kingdom Hearts character, like Sora or Kiari. 

Off to get high on sugar!

BHR, that sounds like a great costume! 

I went as The Artful Dodger from Oliver Twist. My pants had a few patches sewn on, and I pinned up my hair, hiding it under my hat. One of mom's old coats was ripped and  patched, and two handkerchieves peeked out of one pocket, and two wallets with $70 of fake money in the other.

We went trick-or-treatig at this place that was fun, but had super-long lines for two pieces of candy.That was not fun, but the actual getting candy was fun.

My favorite candy is probably peanut M&Ms or Kitkats. They are good!

@ True: Thanks! And oh my gosh, that sounds so cute! I can somehow totally imagine you dressed like that.

Sorry that I am a little late. I was a gypsy with lipstick (my mom's), tons of jewelry, a bead skirt, and a scarf tied around my head.

Every year, my family goes to Main Street, and goes Trick or Treating there. Then we go to our grandparents  house. 

My favorite candy is either Bubble Gum, Almond Joys or Three Musketeers.

I was dressed as Alice from Alice in Wonderland in one of Blue Fairy's blue dresses, white tights, black flats, and a long blond and blue wig with a black headband.  I only wore this to my school's Halloween dance because I had a big APUSH test to study for on the night of Halloween.:(

Oh, and I love Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, Almond Joys, and Pretzel M&Ms.

I was Wednesday Adams for Halloween! I went with my friends who were: Raven from Teen Titans Go, a flapper, a vampire, and Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz. Bounty was Harry Potter. She looks like him too. I got 98 pieces of candy! My neighborhood is awesome for trick-or-treating because it has lots of old Victorian houses that really give it a creepy feel if you are walking around at night, but in a good way.
