Taffy Pull (Would you eat that taffy after being 'pulled' by those children? Not me!)
Apple Bobbing (my personal technique stunk! Didn't want to get my face wet.)
And the ever-popular 'Run your nose through flour to get the coins that are buried in the flour' game. Now, why didn't that catch on?

Happy Halloween All.

You guys are a crack up.

Watching that video immediately made me think of a line from Kyle's current favorite book:

"Back before fun was invented,..."

Wow, at least I've heard of the first two - who on earth came up with plowing your face through flour to get a quarter? Did you at least get to keep the quarter?

The flour-thing was Mom's idea -- and yes, you got to keep whatever you 'shoveled' out. All you needed was flour, a plate, towel and a couple of coins. And several willing kids.
That's a good line: Back before fun was invented.

I was about to say, the flour thing sure sounds like Grandma!

I love this video, it's great. Although I notice my dad wasn't helping pull the toffee! Layabout :)

I've not the time to view the video, but I remember the filming. Seems like one of us (the kids) pushed entire face through the flour. He/She looked a mess, but cleaned out all coins. Game was best when played right after apple bobbing when faces were all wet.

My personal favorite Flour-Face-Pattern is.....ME.
There were a couple of neighbor kids there, too -- but I had to clip them out due to time constraints.

Hilarious! I especially love how fearless Dad is with getting that darn apple! :)
