What Scares You?

Well it is a tradition in our family that I dress up every year for Halloween. I made my witches costume years ago. When Halloween falls on a weekday, like it did this year, it is a little hard for me to get into a full "witches" costume. I mean the green makeup, fake nose and the blacken eyes take a little time and since I work outside the home, getting home in time for the little ones who come to my door is a chore. So last year I came across this pretty scary mask. I know, I know, mask are not cool, but I love wearing it. I can hide behind this wicked thing and nobody can see that I am cracking up when I scare the "you know what" out of the little kids and some of the older ones. Melissa thinks I'm terrible to scare the neighborhood kids like that, but hey, it's Halloween. Halloween is suppose to be scary. So seriously, does this scare you?


Just wait until next year . . . I'll have the wig, the green face and big crooked nose because Halloween next year lands on a Saturday. Or . . . . I might just find an even scarier mask and really scare ya!!!

p.s. Note the really scary pumpkin? That's Brent's idea of a traditional pumpkin.

Yeah...I forgot about that one from last year. Glad we came AFTER you had taken off your mask. Bridgette and Bryson would have taken one look at you and you wouldn't have been their favorite G. Aunt LoLo anymore... :o)
