Most people don't even celebrate Halloween here. However, I like to do a pumpkin and hand out candy to anyone who will knock at my door.
Last Saturday our village was having a small Halloween gathering. The local Flower shop made pumpkin soup and cakes for everyone and gave small bags of candy to the kids who were dressed up and the local wine cellar was serving their wine (all of this for free). So, I got the kids dressed up and we went to the local social event.
Here are Brandon and Alicia dressed up.
At Brandon's school for Halloween, they were doing Historical Halloween. Each child had to pick a person that they thought had contributed significantly to the world, dress up like the person and say a little speech about them. Brandon wanted to be Neil Armstrong. The little speech that he memorised to say in front of his class and the parents was "Hello, I am Neil Armstrong. I was the first Man on the Moon. I went on the moon on July 20th 1969. I said, "That's one small step for man and one giant leap for mankind"". He did very well!
Brandon went trick or treating with Maeva last night. 
After seeing Mark's pumpkin last year on the blog. I thought I had to do something a little better than the regular pumpkin face. So, I attempted a Jaguar. It took me over 2 hours to do! (I'm not sure I will do that again). I was a little frustrated that by 9pm only 4 kids, who came all together, had knoched on my door, so I cut up my pumpkin and made pumkin soup at 9:30pm.

Grandpa had the opposite problem last night. Grandma bought only 50 chocolate bars and raisin packs and then went to her book club.
Children started coming at 6:30 pm and by 8:00 pm, we had given out all of the treats.
So, the last 20 or so children to arrive between 8:00 and 8:30 pm received nothing!
Luckily, none of them played a trick on us.
Wow! Brandon got to wear 3 different costumes. That must have been fun for him. That clown costume has definitely made its way through the family. You pumpkin looks very good. Mark didn't attempt one again this year after all the work it took last time. We'll probably do it when the kids are old enough to appreciate a really cool pumpkin.
Oh no! You were the only one entered in the "pumpkin contest"!
However, it really was a beautiful cat.\!
Great space costume, Brandon!
Grandma
Guess that means I won.
