3. I made a halloween costume for my kids when they were small

the easiest costume I made was one year my son went as Link from the Zelda game.

The hardest one to make was one year my daughter went as Dorothy from the Wizard of oz. It was an exact match to Dorothy's dress, and it was harder than heck to make. Even had the ruby slippers.

6. ruby slippers! i had some of those when i was little

i went as dorothy one year too. my friend tried to get me to go as her this year, but i decided against it. :hi:

10. My little sister went as Dorothy one year when she was really little.

I don't know where we got the shoes, or if we just glued sparkly red things onto pre-existing shoes. I think it might have actually been a combination of the two. Shoes that had sparkly straps and we glued more sparklies on or something. :) But I do remember that she borrowed my little stuffed dog, Brownie, to put in the basket as her Toto.

Ah, how time flies... when I went off to college I left Brownie with her as just something of mine for her to keep ahold of. Now that she's a teenager, I'm gonna leave my Playstation for her when I move... :)
