Trick-or-Treating Fun!!

I came across some pictures of Brittany and Abby over the years dressed up to go trick-or-treating. They made me smile! It's something they've always looked forward to, just as I did as a kid. I still remember my mom taking a huge brown paper grocery sack, turning it upside down, cutting holes in it for my head and arms and...VOILA! I threw on my brother's football helmet, Mom scribbled a number on the front of the sack and I became a football player!! Hey, girls can play football, too, ya know! I thought I looked awesome! Then, there was the time I went trick-or-treating with my best friend, Marni, when we were about in 7th grade. She went as a skinny pumpkin and I dressed up as a "pleasantly plump" pumpkin. Creative, I know! Well, we went to the home of someone she knew and the lady invited us inside her home. Would you believe that I got stuck in the doorway and couldn't move? Marni had to give me the ol' Heave Ho! We had the biggest laugh over that!!

Anyway, I thought I'd share some of the photos I came across of my girls.
