Halloween in December! Heck yeah! Ok, so I've been really bad about updating. I've been getting Facebook messages and posts (and emails) for a few weeks now, so I guess it's time to update from Halloween. . .just before Christmas! Go, me!
Well, at the last minute, we decided basically to use what we already had at the house for the most part. We bought Ava a new dress (it's reversible!), and used my clothes for Alex. Ta-da! It's-a Mario. . .and Princess Peach. They did actually get recognized in the street, and people were really open to their costumes. Fun.
It took us a bit to get used to the way trick-or-treating is done here. Houses that are participating have jack-o-lanterns lit on their front porches. Which totally made us feel like tools for lighting ours on our balcony and then taking off. But our building is coded, so I doubt anyone was able to get in anyway. We spent about an hour trick-or-treating, which was enough for us!

The kids got homebaked goods. Seriously. At least three or four houses handed out cookies, cakes and other things. They didn't get poisoned. I don't think that's even a consideration here. It was a novelty, and it even warmed my cynical little heart. :)
