What a fun Halloween we had this year! Tim and Collin dressed up as skeletons, and Maddie was a black cat.
We once again went to the Halloween festivities on base. They had all sorts of kids' games and crafts, and even face-painting. (And yes, they take their face-painting very serious around here.)
On Halloween afternoon, we enjoyed carving our pumpkins. Maddie and Tim each designed their own (Tim got his idea for a puking pumpkin on-line), and I carved Collin's into a Yankee symbol.
And on Halloween evening, we joined our good friends in the village for some food and drink, and then went out for some trick-or-treating. I think I blogged about this last year, but it's worth saying again: trick-or-treating in our little village is such a wonderful experience. Actually, trick-or-treating is not much of an English tradition. But since there have been several Americans in the village over recent years, we have started to "Americanize" it a little. Anyway, it was such a sweet time, and had such a sincere community feel about it. It's one of those things I hope my kids never forget about our experience here.
