Sorry all you people about the long delay between posts. I warned you! anyway, as you all probably know, last tuesday was Halloween. my sister and I went trick-or-treating with our friends, the McAllister’s. We walked over to their house around 3 in the afternoon. We had fun making caramel apples and quilling pieces of paper. I made a funny looking tropical bird, but I accidentally left it at their house. Later, we played Twister, and I was first out each time. After dinner, we got our costumes ready. my sister and I were a Siamese twin bum. After we got in the two very large shirts, we gave each other smears and smudges with a burnt cork, to make us look dirty. After tying a scarf around our necks, and pinning a cardboard sign that said, Need Halloween candy. Please help, God bless we were ready to go. Unfortunately, we had both brought backpacks, and as we weren't coming back, it was very uncomfortable to have a heavy load slung across one shoulder. My candy bag had no handles, making it very hard to hold, and keep my backpack on at the same time. Even harder to grab candy. After we had gone for a little while, we were joined by our friends, the Halpin’s. Atalie was an Indian, and Michaela was a hippie. They both had very large bags to hold the candy. We worked our way down Badger road, but when we reached our court, Michelle skipped houses to go get our dog and dress him up. He was a cute little fisherman. We then went to all the houses on our court, but no longer as a Siamese twin. At our house, Michelle got sick of being attached, so she just went as herself, and I was left as a single bum in very large clothes. After we were finished trick-or-treating, I had a paper lunch bag full of candy. After Michelle and me got out pajamas on, we watched the wizard of Oz, and went to bed. I got enough candy that night to last me about two months!

Due to difficulties beyond my control, I was unable to present a picture of my coustume. mabye some other time.
