Hallo Ian
It is that night again and we have a little party to go to,
We’re not sure when we will return home tonight so I thought I would run a wee blog quickly to say hi, and how busy I have been this week, Suzanne and I both working hard on the business side of things.
So we are both looking forward to some fun tonight…..and we hope you are all having a nice start to your weekend..
In order to aknowledge this Hello Ian evening, I am running a TRICK or TREAT competition,
the prizes will be random and based on the most amusing/embarassing tales of Tricks or Treats you have had/done on halloween..
Submit your comments here and I will read through them and give prizes for the best ones…
For Example..
TRICK – One year I dressed up as a Zombie, while making my shirt all torn with a pair of scissors, I cut the top of my thumb off. A couple of hours at A&E to have it dressed and I was home ready to go out…. with REAL blood as part of my costume… obviously nowadays that would be frowned on…. come to think of it my mother wasnt really chuffed … but the spray effect it gave my shirt was brilliant….
So I want to know your stories!!!!! Tricks or Treats???
ps. Ill add photos later on to this blog.. just so you can see me Dressed as Andrew Curry…
we have a really nice “cabin” at a nearby state park that belonged to President Harding. I was invited to a costume party there ( supposed to be about 15-20 people I knew pretty well)…..I bought a child’s size pattern for a bunny suit and made it bigger – made a nice white furry bunny suit with feet, paws, ears (with wire in them to bend them around) I painted on whiskers and made a nose ..etc. well….I figured since I knew these people,I would hop right in — hopped in and there were probably 50 people and I knew maybe three. ummmmmm …no one had on costumes …. blushing bunny :blush: … one guy twisted my lil ears together in a knot :omg: … needless to say I decided to embibe freely – now I always pack my jeans – ( I had nothing on under my bunny suit – it was like jammies) It was hard to hold a beer with those paws, but can be done 😀
One year my oldest sister took me trick or treating. I had on my costume as usual, but my sister, who was a nurse, had on old baggy pants, a housecoat and her hair in curlers. This was way back in the 1060’s when women rolled their hair daily.
We were walking down the street when we met a group of kids- and one little boy about six years old runs up to my sister and askes her who she is supposed to be. She answers “The Devil”. The kid, without missing a beat, answered her “Yeah, and you look like hell, too.” That was a priceless moment I will never forget. 🙂
My sister passed away about 5 years ago and these memories I have are some I treasure.
Oops- that should be the “1960’s”. LOL
Those are great stories lol I wish I had one but I don’t 🙁 I’m not real big on Halloween, glad it’s almost over so we can gear up for Christmas! We’ve convinced the kids to go to the hotel with a pool next year and have a pizza party…lol
Boy I feel like a party pooper now lol I’ll keep checking for more stories! What about you Mr. G? What’s your embarrassing/funny story??
My best memory of a Halloween Party is from my childhood. The big craze was dressing like hippies extremely wild face makeup. We bobbed for apples and I went face first into the water and got the apple. My face was about 30 different colrs and my hair was about 3 diffe rent colors. That brought back a really nice rememberie.
I couldnt find a costume in time so i put on one of my grams housecoats rolled my hair in old fashion curlers and then to kinda make it scary i put fake blood on my face to be a housewife from hell. I did scare a few lil ones and didnt mean to make them actually cry, I felt bad about that.
Am loving reading others stories…… I really don’t do Halloween..so don’t have any good stories to input. I mostly remember taking my own kids trick or treating .. Seemed like the weather was always nasty on Halloween….. I hope you both, Suzanne and Grant, had a swell time at the party. Will be back to read more of the stories and hope to see one from both of you too! 🙂
Hugs and prayers- always.. TammyJo
ooooh where to start lol
well my dad was always a big fan of halloween and this one year he found a dirty red and black striped jumper, a very realistic freddie mask and the matching glove…
every year we had a halloween party and every year he freaked all the kids out with a really scarey costume, so all the kids were dressed up wondering where uncle ian was and my mum said ohh just sit down and watch this film for 10 mins hes gone to get something from the shop, so 10 mins into the film (which just happened to be nightmare on elm street), knock knock on the door, kids all run to the door thinking its trick or treaters, they throw the door open and theres freddie, he says trick or treat, grabs my cousin and legs it round the corner… :omg: it was bloody hillarious they all went to bits screaming, my dad came back and wasnt allowed to wear the mask again all night because the kids wouldnt let him XD
my other cousin used to have this obsession with the film IT, he was only 8 but loved it, this one year we had a clown party, everyone dressed up as clowns… can you guess who my dad went as? yup IT lol.
my poor ickle cousin was fine until my dad went up to him and asked “wanna balloon?” XD needless to say my dad, yet again had to get changed pmsl
Wendy i know what you mean, my dad passed away 5 years ago, he was only 41 but these memories i have forever and i love em lol
one year, not on halloween, on my birthday i had 2 friends sleeping over at mine, we were having a horror night watching freddie, the evil dead etcetc and helen started getting a bit scared so joanne started telling her to stop bein a mard ass theres no such thing as freddie, zombies etcetc….
then we heard tapping on my bedroom window, i ignored it as i had a feeling my dad was upto his tricks again, but helen was convinced it was freddie coming to get her, joanne being ever so brave threw the curtains open saying dont be daft helen theres no such thing as fredaaaaaaaggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh and she disapeared under the bed…. i looked out the window and theres me dads freddie mask on top of a sweeping brush with me dad underneith wetting himself laffing pmsfl (i have never let her live that down and it happened 15 years ago lol)
pmsl @you lot !!!
no funny storys from me here either
just never had a funny halloween time !!! but enjoyed reading all yours !! 🙂
Well, I don’t really have a personal story, but, our family story is about my dad when he was a teen. Back then, they used paper sacks to collect the candy. My dad and his friends put ice in the bags when the smaller kids came to their door…then, they followed them around until the ice melted and picked up the candy that spilled out of the bags. :omg:
Me and My Husband were married on Halloween in 1998. We decided to go trick or treating before going back to the reception. As I was walking up the stairs to someones house, I tripped and fell down the steps and the train of my dress came over my head.
IT WAS AWFULL!!
Everyone was laughing and the people at the house took pictures. It was just so embarressing.!!!
These are funny 🙂
when my sister and i were smaller.. we would go to a fun nite the nite of halloween.. just before we would go out trick or treating..they had bobbing for apples that yr.. and i was determind to get one.. they had our hands behind out back so we couldnt use our hands and arms to grab my apple.. well i for some unknown reason couldnt get an apple.. so i end up just reaching in as far as i could.. and i ended up Arse over tea kettle.. meaning i ended up half inside the tub/barrel of cold water.. and cause i was struggling with being half inside the tub/barrel.. i ended up knockin the whole thing over. with me inside.. and i ended up getting soaked from head to toe.. not only that.. we didnt have time ti dry off and i ended up going trick or treating soaking..dripping wet..
Mouthie :)^_^
Love the Halloween stories! : )
The only thing I can think of at the moment is my poor littlest one’s Halloween this year. We were rushing to get to go his OT appointment Friday AM and I didn’t realize until we got there that his pants were 2 sizes too small – he wears a 5/6 and his daddy had put him in size 4T. Every time my little guy bent over…well, let’s say there was a bad moon a’risin. :O Thank goodness it was only me and his OT around. I called up his daddy to see if he could bring some bigger pants, and when he showed up, he said little guy was going as “Joe the Plumber” for Halloween, lol! All in all, problem was quickly solved, little guy wore proper-fitting pants to school, and trick-or-treated in costume of choice, a fine star-spangled wizard outfit. XD
When I was 12, my best friend and I were going trick or treating, and of course it would have been mortifying for a parent to come with us, but our parents wouldn’t let us go out alone. My 15 year old brother (who was of course too cool to go trick or treating) was enlisted to chaperone us. He was so cool, in fact that he insisted on wearing a hunting knife strapped to his thigh. We mutually agreed that he would walk on the other side of the street from us, so we wouldn’t be seen together.
At one house we stopped at, a nice little old lady answered the door and gave us candy, as her middle aged son was leaving the house. He went up the walk, and then ran back freaking out. He was all “These girls shouldn’t leave! Quick, get inside! There’s a man lurking in the shadows across the street with a HUGE knife strapped to his leg.” I had to calm him down and explain that it was just my brother. Highly embarrassing for a 12 year old. Of course, my brother loved it.

OMG! LOL These stories are great! 🙂 Far funnier than anything I’ve ever done.
One Halloween we went to a party that our best friends threw for their work. My husband dressed up as a pimp and I was his “employee”. Our friends mother came dressed as the after “employee” (no we weren’t in cahoots with each other lol). She said to me, “We are ladies of the night. You are the before, and I’m the after.” LOL
