I was a pumpkin when I was about 10 years old. my dad formed a big pumpkin shape out of chicken wire and I covered it in paper mache. We painted it orange with a jack o lantern face. It had a hole at the top for my head, at the bottom for my legs (even tho it came down almost to my knees) and arm holes on the sides. I cut the mouth out and attached a pillowcase inside to hold the candy, like feeding the pumpkin. It was a great costume, but I managed to fall down a couple stairs at one of the houses and rolled half way to the street. My friend and I were laughing so hard after that, we had to just sit there for a few minutes to calm down before I could manage to get back up again. A halloween I'll never forget!!
