I love Halloween.

I love Halloween. 

I love the decorations, the costumes, the brisk fall air, the candy and the excitement.
 

I have such great memories from Halloweens-Past. 

Like carving pumpkins with these crazies: 

The Oliver Family is as tied to Halloween as anything could be.

I wish I had more pictures of past Halloween costumes, but I don't. I even only have one really bad picture from Halloween last year. Lame. 

2007- Me as Elizabeth Swan. I just happened to run into Jack Sparrow at the party.

 2008 - Yes. I am a vampire.
(I didn't have any good shots of me in my dress, but I did wear my ballgown this year) 

2009 - David and I as Marguerite and Percy Blakeney of the Scarlet Pimpernel. 

Yes, I have worn the same dress for the last 3 Halloweens. That is what happens when you spend over 100 hours on a Halloween costume.

Other fond memories of Halloween include this book: 

My parents used to read this to me when I was little. 

I still remember them laughing as I tried to read along with them one year that I had a terrible cold.

If you read the transcript HERE you will see that they are a lot of words that are not so easy to pronounce when you have a cold. 

I loved this book and all of my other Halloween memories.

 I am excited for this year's Halloween. David and I have a great costume idea planned out. (And, no, it doesn't involve me wearing my ballgown. Although, I may have to wear it sometime this month just because.) 

I am also excited to finish decorating my apartment. Especially because my darling sister-in-laws gave me an incredibly amazing Halloween sign for my birthday! I can't wait to post pictures!

Here are some other things that I may or may not get around to doing this Halloween:
