Halloween(:

To most people Halloween is just a day to run around TPing houses, ding dong ditching and running from house to house in your neighborhood getting candy. But for me it’s a bigger deal then just that. It is also my birthday! Tomorrow at 10:56 p.m. fourteen years ago is when I was born. Every year my birthday weekend is very busy. Tonight I am going to the first Play Off game at Stevenson then after I’m going to a Halloween costume party at my friend Paiges house. When the party is over a few of my friends are sleeping over and we’re going to stay up all night watching scary movies! Then Saturday is my birthday!!! Before I do anything that day my mom is forcing me go to gymnastics. I am a little disappointed I have to, but my best friends Heather and Kassidy are coming with me so it should be fun! They also sing the Happy Happy Birthday song when it’s someone’s birthday and throw them into the foam pit. When gymnastics is over I’m going to Heathers house to get ready for Jessies Halloween Party. Heather is going to be a cat, and I’m going to be a bumble bee. At some point Halloween night I want to go to a haunted driveway on Doris by Coolidge Elementary School. A person living on the street has a circle drive way and have scary mannequins. On Halloween night people in that neighborhood hide in the mannequins and as you walk up to the house to get candy they jump out and grab you! If you can make it all the way to the front door to say, “Trick or treat” without running down the street screaming for your life, you get a huge candy bar. I’ve never made it to the front door. Every year I go, and every year I run away screaming. Last year I was chased down the street by a man in a mummy costume hiding in a coffin that was underground. This weekend is going to be so much fun! It will be a hard day for my mom. She is over dramatic and will cry because, “Just yesterday she was taking me home from the hospital” and now I’m all grown up and have my own plans. Halloween is definitely my favorite holiday! It's a day were you can dress up, hang out with your friends, and just have fun!
