This is Halloween, This is Halloween

Brooke wanted to be a clown, which totally threw me for a loop since she is a princess every other day of the year. Andrew wanted a real knight's helmet that moved up and down (I did my best with cereal boxes and tin foil) and Matthew made a fearsome pirate. Since there is no Halloween in Switzerland, we did our best with homemade costumes and trick or treating at Daddy's office. We even scored some granola bars from the neighbors upstairs.


The kids loved carving pumpkins this year. My favorite lines were, "There are gunk everywhere," and "Hello, gunk. How was your day?" And Brooke made sure Daddy made her pumpkin not cool, but scary.

That is a great helmet! Way to go making their costumes, that's awesome. Glad they got to go trick or treating! We didn't get to do any of that this year...Daddy was India and we were all sick!

Homemade costumes are always the way to go. I think they are by far the best costumes.
Anothony, we loved your comment about Dan's fleece sweatshirt. And it smells as old as it looks. Gross huh!
