Halloween

The kids have been talking about Halloween for the last two months so it was with great excitement that they got dressed to go trick or treating. This year the girls decided to stray from the princess costumes. Ali dressed up as the wicked witch of the west and Sofia dressed up as a pirate. When Jason had gone to the U.S. a couple weeks ago he brought back costumes for us since we were going to a costume party after trick or treating. When he got back to Prague and opened the Adult medium package it had a child's small costume inside. We were disappointed but it ended up working out well since Sofia was excited to be a pirate. She made a good pirate and walked around saying "arrrgggghhh". Jason and I tried to teach Ali to say, "I'll get you my pretty and your little dog too". We thought she had it down until we started walking to our friends house and Ali said, "I'll eat you my baby". We started off our celebrating at our friends house with pizza, cookies and candy and then we headed up to the trick or treating neighborhood. Yes, there is one neighborhood known for trick or treating here and it is often called "little America". It is a little out of town but our friends gave us a ride and it was well worth the trip. The kids had such a great time running door to door. It is quite a crazy hour as there are hundreds of kids in this small neighborhood running from door to door trying to get candy before the candy runs out. After hitting all the houses and the kids happy with their treats we headed home to put the kids to bed. Our babysitter arrived and Jason and I headed out to our costume party. Since Jason's costume from the states was obviously too small he went earlier in the day to a costume shop to rent a costume. It ended up working out really well and he made a great pirate. We had fun at our party and the kids had fun trick or treating. Another Happy Halloween!
