The pumpkin-head costume is legendary in
my family…
It all began on one Halloween night many
years ago when my son wore the pumpkin-head costume. There were many tears. And
screaming. And flat-out refusal. My son did not want to be a pumpkin! I don’t know
why. I handmade the costume. It’s silky-soft and adorable. But my son wasn’t
having any part of it.

Having five kids, it’s tough to get a new costume for each of them every year, so many Halloweens they wore the same costume or a costume was handed down from one to the next.
And that is how the pumpkin-head costume
struck again…
This time, my youngest daughter was the
victim. There were many tears and the saddest face you ever saw. I couldn’t
even get her to smile when I was putting red lipstick on her. Just imagine that
smeared work! My daughter did not want to be the pumpkin. She wanted to be the
princess, the costume my oldest daughter wore that was too big for her. So, she
was stuck, trapped, destined to be the pumpkin.

As a matter of fact, my youngest daughter still has that pumpkin-head costume. Now, she thinks it’s adorable. Will the pumpkin-head strike again…?
Well, in Halloween Ride, Sammy wears a pumpkin costume, inspired by this
legendary outfit. There were no tears, no screams, no flat-out refusal, just a happy
little bear in a pumpkin costume.
