flash back friday ~ happy halloween!

in honor of the holiday, i decided it would be fun to look into my childhood and see some of the costumes i have worn over the years.  

i must admit that after my father sent these pics to me, my cheeks were hurting from smiling.  seriously, we had some good times!  

in no particular order: 

captain hook, mickey and minnie

i was dorothy, sister, glenda the good witch and allen (omg, look how tiny he is) was dressed as the cowardly lion.

this costume was a recycled school play costume ... i was dressed as mary poppins.

can we talk about the fact that this pic was taken at our church.  i love that my mother had no qualms about showing up as a scary demon witch at our church fellowship hall  

i  must add that she almost gets stabbed wearing this costume.  she showed up while a bunch of teenagers were watching scary movies ... not too smart. 

mom, after she decided to go straight ... and a little more mom like and boring.  

my bro and i (can we talk about how much my nephew looks like him)

little bro as raggedy andy

sister as a cowgirl and me as raggedy anne

not really sure what i dressed up as, but blast it all, aint i cute :0)

thanks mom for always being creative and never letting us settle for store bought costumes!!!
