Halloween brings back all kinds of memories from my childhood. From uncomfortable masks to itchy, thick face paint, not all of my brilliant costumes turned out as well as I had imagined. When I got too old to go out, I loved to answer the door and ask the kids to demonstrate skills related to their costume. “Show me your ninja moves!” “Let’s hear a big cheer!” But my favorite trick-or-treat experiences were with my nephews, when we would coordinate our costumes. Now that they’re in high school, I really miss those Buzz Lightyear and Lilo & Stitch days!
