We celebrated Halloween this year in our usual Germany fashion. We picked out pumpkins and carved them, a little too early so they were good and rotten by actual Halloween.
We also decided this year to do a group costume- which we haven't done since Jake was a baby. Studio C is a BYU sketch comedy show and they have a skit called "The Crayon Song Gets Ruined" which our kids love to watch. So this year, we were (some of) the crayons from that skit. It took some convincing to get everyone on board, but in the end they all liked helping to paint the banner for the trunk or treat and be silly together. Good times.
I made our costumes super simply with felt by the yard, some wire, and a hot glue gun. I feel like they shouldn't have taken as long as they did, but the kids were happy with them so that is what counts. At the trunk or treat we also enjoyed chili and the kids played some carnival style games. It was a fun evening with our church congregation.
On actual Halloween, we stayed home and ate curried squash soup and made pumpkin and leaf shaped sugar cookies to decorate.
We did get a few trick or treaters again this year, but only about a dozen.
It was a sugar filled good time, but we look forward to possibly doing some door to door trick or treating in the States next year.
