Three Pumpkins
On the back walkway, these three pumpkins await the tour of the goblins tomorrow night. I really can't remember how I acquired my devil costume, but I must say it served me well. Others in our gang were really into changing their get-up each Halloween, but I was 'steady eddie', always 'giving the devil his due'. My only complaint about this creepy holiday was the cold. Jacket or not, Mom always made the call. I'd complain; I'd whine. All of it was in vain though. I would have run around in a t-shirt and shorts, but it was not to be. Rain, I could handle, but the whole idea of a jacket underneath to fight off the cold of late October drove me crazy.
"Mom, I'm the devil!"
So un-satanesque.
*What was YOUR costume?
Oh yeah, in Utah it could get cold at Halloween also so we had the decision to wear the coat over or under our costume.
ReplyDeleteThat was so long ago I don't even remember. I do, however, remember the candy. :-)
ReplyDeleteWe don't do Halloween.
ReplyDeletelol so "un-unsatanesque" that is funny...yeah, i would think the devil would welcome one night of being cold! it's supposed to be a cold one here tomorrow night and the boys just want to go the football game, dressed up as creepy clowns :D
ReplyDeleteNice, ripe golden pumpkins! Can't recall my costumes; must have been standard garb. Loved that you noticed the title on my post today;I think we must have read the same stories as a kid.
ReplyDeleteFunny! By the way, happy Halloween!
ReplyDeleteAnd now, Halloweens up here seem to be warmer than they were...It would be fun to see you as Steady Eddie, the Devil! Don't you just love pumpkins?!
ReplyDeletelaughing at your coat-wearing satan!
ReplyDeleteSympathy for the Devil, as the Rolling Stones say...
ReplyDeleteNice photo!
ReplyDeleteWhy, a princess of course

A clown outfit! My mum made it.
ReplyDeleteOnce a clown and once a ghost. We had to wear coast too.
ReplyDeleteI can't recall as a kid, but in more recent years, I did a costume party on Hallowe'en and went in a Civil War Union officer's uniform.
ReplyDeleteYummy and gorgeous colours. Anything but a clown. They scar the carp out of me anytime of the year.
ReplyDeleteSuch pretty light on those pumpkins! Growing up in Florida, we hardly ever had to worry about the cold, but I do remember one year Halloween got canceled by a late season hurricane.
ReplyDeleteNice light in this shot.
ReplyDeleteMama rules. Period.
ReplyDeleteThe one costume I remember - probably because I have a picture of it - was a "Dutch girl," dress, white apron...and probably the hat, too. Mom made it, of course. Didn't have wooden shoes. And there was a year when my brother and I were both clowns. Again made by Mom. She was quite the seamstress.
