Today for Lora's Top Ten, we're listing Halloween costumes, Halloween candies, or anything Halloween! Lora has been lots of great things; check her blog out for great ideas!
So, here are ten a few things I've been for Halloween. Sadly, I think I stopped dressing up when I was a pre-teen, and I haven't dressed up since.
1. Witch. I was four, and my Gma made the costume for me. It was so dang cute! Hat and all! I was in Kindergarten at a private school in Macon. We lived 45 minutes away in Gordon. My class was to dress up on Halloween, but the parents received a letter warning them against "scary" costumes. Only friendly costumes, please. My parents were clueless that in Macon there was a huge wave of folks convinced Halloween was of the devil and evil. My mom sends me to school in my witch costume! And you know what? There ended up being a full page picture of me in the school's yearbook that year! In the witch costume!
2. Hobo. I think I was a hobo many years. Maybe that's why I can only think of four costumes in my life! After the witch costume, my mom seemed convinced you were supposed to make your Halloween costumes at home with items around the house. So, I wore old jeans, one of my Dad's flannel shirts, and an old straw hat. Momma even painted a tooth black for me.
3. Punk Rocker. This was mid 80's, I believe, and I sported purple and silver. Everywhere. My hair was even silver. I can still remember the smell of the spray we used to color my hair silver!
4. Little Red Riding Hood. Another Gma creation. It was really cute!
um, yeah, I'm sure I had more costumes but I just can't remember any of them! So, I'll top off this list with Halloween candies I loved:
5. The goodie bags from the Blankenships. We always went to the Blankenships' house on Halloween, and she always had the best goodie bags of treats for us!
6. Pixie sticks. I think I love these today because of the fond memories I have of my sister eating as many of these as she could possibly stomach on Halloween night!
7. Popcorn balls
8. Those peanut butter chews that are in orange and black wrappers. I didn't really like these until adulthood. They are goooood!
9. Reese's Peanut Butter Cups
10. Peanut butter cookies
So, what have you been for Halloween? What's your favorite Halloween candy? Link up and tell us about it!

Those are funny! I really was like the same thing every year, and we never went trick-or-treating, we lived on the main road in town, with no sidewalks! Yum, peanut butter anything!
My mom didn't let us go trick or treating, but I still always put together costumes to wear to school.
Remember the good ole days when costumes were made up from your imagination not bought at a store.
And I love mostly ALL candy! hehe {with chocolate in it}
pixie sticks are the bomb!! :)
I LOVE the witch costume story. Too funny!
Pixie Stix...I hadn't had any for a LONG time and A and I shared a HUGE one a few weeks ago when we went to the corn maze. Pure sugar delight.
I just loved reading about your costumes. That's so funny they said no scary ones and then you dressed as a witch! lol
Haha! I love that witch story :)
I don't really remember being anything other than a ballerina, because I wore my tutu from my dance recital. I can't really remember anything else. I just never cared much about Halloween.
One year my mom dressed me up as a robot. It was a great costume all mad out of boxes and aluminum foil, but I couldn't walk up the steps at school during the parade!
P.S. Be on the look out for a surprise package *giggle, giggle* I sent it out last Wednesday :) Hope you love it!
I was a punk rocker at least once too. I like Reeces Peanut Butter Cups too--and the pumpkin shaped ones are fun too.
