Has anyone started (or finished) decorating for Halloween?

All I do is put some window clings on the door windows and some of the pictures in our livingroom.

:spider::witchbroo:ghost1::pumpkin2: There, now I feel better. I decorated.:laugh1:

Actually I haven't even thought about decorating. I don't think I have anything anymore. I don't even know if I want to go buy any either.

Hmmm...I wonder if the dollar stores have anything?:twistede:

I remember when I was a kid my mom had to do things on a budget as she was the only one working so we boboed for apples, she made candy apples, took my brothers pants and stuffed with leaves or clothing and took an old nylon stocking and stuffed that for the head and sewed eyes on it and then put an old straw hat on it and stuffed some straw in the legs and arms and then put it in a chair outside outr door and she would make cookies and candy to give out but now you have to be careful with the candy it doesn't contain anything it shouldn't. I remember also dressing up as a hobo with mom taking and burning a cork and rubbing that soot all over my face to make it black and using pillows to make me a fat hobo. I want to take my neighbor boy who is 2 and my handicapped brother trick or treating they have a thing at the church and then we go to neighbors house we know and the malls .

I did the hobo thing one year and bobbed for apples. I have a brother who has cerebral palsy and my mom would put him in a red wagon and pull him along and I'd take his pumpkin to the doors for him. A lot of people would think I was being a piggy until I pointed at the wagon and told them it was for my brother.:sad:

People can be so mean when they just dont think before they open their mouths. I think its great that that he went trick or treating with you I bet you both had a lot of fun.
