This is me, Mary, holding my son Chris when he was 8 months old. I was the "Jungle Wild Woman" for Halloween. Chris was a little leery of mommy in this getup, lol! ~1984~







Here I am with one of my pets, Scorch. Doesn't he have a sweet face?







One of my original pattern jack-o-lanterns. I called it "Ware the Werecat". I got a nice certificate, and a hand written compliment from Pumpkin Masters. Hey, I'd rather have moolah guys! ~1997~







Came across this cool "Grim Reaper out of Hell" while trick or treating. It looked even cooler in person! ~1997~







Our graveyard. For Halloween, silly! The gravestones are made of plywood, by yours truly. I make all our plywood displays, from my own patterns. Amazing what you can do with a jigsaw, paint and a morbid imagination, hehe! The skeleton is plastic. ~1999~







"Mom! He's got his hand in my stroller again!" Alex's first taste of Halloween. He was 10 months old. This was my first attempt at making a dummy. Ended up having to replace the mask when some little thieves snatched it off one night. Taught me to sew the mask securely onto the head. ~1990~







Chris as a vampire. He was 7 yrs old. ~1991~













New mask for the dummy! We named him Mr. Ugly. Well, Tess didn't care how ugly he was, that lap was comfortable! ~1990~







Chris as a zombie. I seem to have a talent for making people look like corpses, lol!







Look out kitties! That ghost looks like he means business! (Yeah, right mom, he ain't caught us yet, and it's been 10 years, snicker!)








This is our pot stirring witch. The 2 wannabe Halloween kitties are Romeo, left, and Hitler, right.













"Ok mom, I'm ready to suck blood, oops, I mean ready to trick or treat!" (Hope she didn't catch that slip of the tongue!)







Well well. Looks like somone got stuck crawling through a window. Found this while trick or treating. I assume it was a dummy. I sure didn't hang around to ask. Hmmm....
