Thank you for joining me on my series, Memories to Share. It is my hope this series will guide you in recording family stories and personal memories to share with loved ones, as well as help you to ask others to collect Memories to Share with you someday.
Week 3’s prompt is:
How did your family celebrate Halloween? If you carved pumpkins, who did the carving? Describe a favorite Halloween costume of yours.

Here’s a glimpse into the beginning of my story:
You cannot talk about Halloween with my mom and not hear all about a run of crazy costumes I created with her and wore. It all started with a table costume I saw in the Mini Page, a weekly children’s insert in the Sunday paper.
Up until then I wore typical Halloween costumes– Wonder Woman, clown, princess, but once I saw that Mini Page I was onto more unique costumes– the table, and then the next year my closet, and then a Christmas tree complete with glow stick decorations the next. (I must have been sick of wearing boxes that third year!) I loved bringing ideas to my mom, along with suggestions on how to make them, and then working together with her to design something unique and a lot of fun.
What is your story?
Tell all about any Halloween stories you’d like to share. It could memories from your childhood or memories from your children’s or niece’s childhood. It could be a crazy time in college or the first year you decided not to wear a costume anymore. My neighbors gather before Halloween every year to carve pumpkins as a group and have done so for many years. It is one of my favorite events of the year, so you can bet I’ll share about that, and also get my kids’ input on it as well.
Tell about one of those things on this week’s Memories to Share sheet and keep it to share later or share it tonight over dinner. You may also share here in the comments, if you’d like.
