Out standing in our fields

Happy Halloween from a couple of fun-loving scarecrows. I loved making my kids' costumes when they were little. 

These costumes took very little effort, cost minimal amount (thrift store dress) and the rest of the materials came from my craft closet and dress up bin at preschool. 

Bill and I won monetary prizes for our scarecrow costumes over the years. We used to have so much fun at dances. We sure could rock and roll. Now we get dizzy just getting out of bed.

No more costumes for us since I got thick and he got thin. But those were the days!

 Traditionally trick-or-treaters in our town are usually prepared with a joke or riddle, in order to receive candy. I still remember my first jokes: How do you make time fly?

Throw the clock out the window.

Knock-Knock

Who's There?

Boo Hoo

Boo hoo Who?

What are you crying about? 

We received full-sized candybars and pennies. We went right to the penny candy counter at the neighborhood confectionery and bought MORE candy: Butterfingers, Baby Ruths, Mr. Goodbars and Mounds, those sickening sweet pink lipsticks, and Mary Janes.

I taught our great grandsons Liam, Alex, and Charlie their first Halloween joke: What do baby ghosts wear on Halloween?

BOOTIES  

Tell me a joke. We live on a busy street and have NEVER had a trick or treater in thirty years.
