Halloween Back in the Day

I've written a piece on this blog about past Halloweens around Alabama, and in this one I'm looking at a few from my own family for which we have the photo evidence. I'm sure there are more around here somewhere, so perhaps I'll do another such post in the future. 

Most of these photos date from the early & mid-1990's....



That's a motley crew. Amos is Batman and Becca is a mini-clown. We still have those big plastic pumpkins.

Back in the day Dianne and Becca did some pumpkin carving; here are a few from one year. 



Always good to have some creeping cats around at Halloween. 




Aren't cats endlessly entertaining?





Now for some of Dianne's Halloween creations: a hanging decorative ball, an "All Hallow's Eve" tree of life necklace, a spooky gingerbread house and a scarecrow. She's done a lot of such craft and jewelry work; you can see some on ArtFire and Etsy.








For several years Dianne and the kids would make and decorate a spooky gingerbread house. 



One year there was a scarecrow.
