Top 5 - Halloween with a twist

Okay, I am going to give you my top 5 halloween treats I received as a "kid" trick or treating. Then, I am going to completely embarrass myself and show you a few pictures of me dressed up for Halloween as a kid. I was very young in all of these. That is really my only defense.

1. Caramel popcorn ball - This thing was a heaven in a small round shape. I can still point out the house that gave these away! It was an older lady. It tasted soooo good.

2. Reese Peanut Butter Cups - There were a couple houses that gave you 2 or three of these individual treats. Ummm, peanut butter and chocolate.

3. A plastic bag filled with smarties, a blow pop and a couple pieces of bubble gum - This house put this in a zip lock bag but this was before zip lock and each one was twisted. Very thoughtful.

4. Milkyway/Baby Ruth combo - Any time I could score a couple different candy bars. I was excited. Back in the day I was not much of a Snickers guy. I have no idea what my problem was.

5. Whatchamacallit - These are only available in full size so it was a nice treat to get these puppies.

That is my 5. On to the embarrassing part. I called my mom yesterday with the challenge of finding me in 5 different outfits. On a short notice, she found four pictures in three different outfits. So, hopefully my AWESOME costumes will inspire you this Friday. No one can say I am not afraid to embarrass myself.

It is safe to say that I had the idea of Kung Fu Panda way before anyone else. I am also pretty sure they made me wear this so I could not eat the candy before I got home.

No. This is not really Superman (with shades?!?!?). It is me...I am not lying. FYI - Back right- the hobo - he has a blog you read. His issues with life started early...

The last costume is Mickey Mouse and I was barely 5 or shall I say the year is 1981! And mom - I know you wanted a daughter but that is no excuse for making me pose like that. Actually, I blame my father. Really? You ok-ed this?

Oh, and when was Craig heavy weight champion of the world?

Thanks Mom for finding those pictures so quickly...I think...
