Past Halloween Costumes

    Over the past years, I’ve participated in Halloween many times.  I never really got into the whole trick-or-treating thing or the scary story part of it, but I loved to dress up. My first Halloween costume that I ever wore was a mouse costume. I remember seeing a picture of this in my mom’s photo album. I guess my mom had a Halloween party with her friends who had children. So I was a grey mouse with big ears and a painted face and whiskers. I think I was a pumpkin sometime after. When my sister was born (I was four), my mom dressed us up in the same costumes. The first year, we were both ladybugs, my mom had dyed pillow cases and painted black dots on them. She also painted our faces to match. We wore black under that. I remember that because we did Halloween at the Zoo. The year after, we were cowgirls. We had a couple of stick horses we rode around the battlefield mall. We also once both dressed up as black cats and went around our neighborhood. I feel like we dressed up in similar costumes a couple times else, but I cannot recall any other. I do remember dressing up as a Native American with a costume I bought at Kmart. As an upper elementary schooler, I began my Narnia faze in life. I dressed up as Lucy three years in a row with a dress that matched hers perfectly. I even had a big crown and a little satchel. One year, I dressed up as a volley ball player just because I was not creative enough to think of anything else. That was the year I officially stopped trick-or-treating. I just wore sports shorts and a jersey of some sort and held a volley ball in my hand as I passed out candy to little kids. The year after, I volunteered at my church and passed out candy. I was a princess because little kids like girls who wear a crown and have a big poufy dress on. I seriously felt like a Disney princess because there was girls who began to line up in a line to take pictures with me. I’ll see if I can find a picture of myself at home to show. The dress was one that my mom actually wore as a bride’s maid dress for a wedding. I don’t remember dressing up last year. I don’t know what I was doing either. But this year, I’m not going to be home for Halloween, so I won’t be celebrating it. I will try to dress up for school on Friday just because I have a Minnie Mouse dress from an ensemble competition I competed in. So depending on how much humility I have on Friday will determine if I actually dress up. But these were most of my costumes that I wore in my life.
