Halloween report

I hope you all had a great Halloween; ours went very well thanks to some good friends who came with us to celebrate it. One of Emma's friend stayed with us and she helped preparing the party. I had a total of 9 kids (one couldn't come). Unfortuntely, Halloween is less and less popular here but we decided to do it anyway because Pierre and Emma always celebrated it.

Of course, we decorated the house. Chuy put a bucket next to the bulb in order to have an orange atmosphere to the livivng room. I don't have lots of decorations to display but it was nice anyway.

We found the two garlands the morning of the party and Chuy put a giant spider web in the entrance .

A good friend greeted the guests:

We installed a new ring ( excuse the spider web - the maid had a week off! )

And we decorated the outside as well: I made the girls inflate the balloons . Our neighbors must have thought we are crazy but it was fun !!!

Then it was time to carve the pumpkin and I made my slaves the girls do it. As you can see on Emma's face: she enjoyed every minute of it !!! Her friend on the other end loved it !

Have you ever seen some bunny ears on a pumpkin?

Then I couldn't resist taking some pictures of my cuties outside:

And our guest arrived: we didn't mean to do it but all the costumes were a nice mix of black and orange. They were all very cute.

My friend did get a costume for herself and I took a picture of them on my stairs:

Then my neighbor ( you know the one who has a nice girlfriend ... ) was leaving and the kids rushed to his door to grab some candies:

Esteban did his own make-up: too cute !!!

We finally went trick or treating and the kids were very, I mean VERY excited !

I think I didn't feed those kids enough during snack time because they were so desesperate to have some candies ... We did get some odd stuffs: an old lady gave some coins (not enough for the 9 kids though) and a Hello kitty key chain ...

And a last picture with nine almost exhausted likds (why almost? because minutes later they were dancing in my living room ... )

And don't forget today is your last day to enter the giveaway !!!

Halloween !

I didn't blog yesterday because I had a busy day! But first, I want to thank you for your nice comments. 21 comments I never had 21 comments before Thanks Be careful: I could get used to it Now get ready for a long post (I didn't post yesterday so I have a lot of things to say. )

So yesterday, we went to the speech therapy. Pierre starting therapy when he was 3 years old. See, Marita, it's really a long haul ... When we lived in texas, we even had him tested for Sensory integration dysfunction and he had a problem with touch and still has a problem with how food feel in his mouth (he can't swallow medecines and has even trouble drinking melted medecines. He's out of medication right now but it's still a problem when he has a migraine (which he gets once in a while since he got the chimio shots in his spinal cord) We didn't find therapy here for SID.

After speech therapy, we went to eat at my mom's house and we headed off to the store at 2 pm to get a costume. (I know I am the kind of person who leave everything at the last moment ) I was not the only one though Anyway, at 3.30 we went to a kids and parents cafe. One of my friend own the cafe. She had organized a small musical event. The singer managed to have the kids and their parents to dance!

Then we went to trick-or-treating in the streets with some friends. The kids had a lot of fun! (I'd like to show you the pictures but bloggers is in a spooky mood after halloween ) In green, it's a mom (but not me )

Emma was a witch. (we had some camera fun )

Remember when I fell in love? (here ) Well, after she sent me the fabric that got lost, she sent it again and I got it yesterday. Well I got very disapointed by the fabric. Of course, I know there is always a difference between what we see on the computer and what we get but I feel there is a huge difference. Where is the coral and the green that I, I can see? I only see blues and browns ... And another disapointment: the fabric was not ironed How can you sell hand dye fabrics and not finishing the job ?

I also stitched on my roses but not yesterday. I started on my yellow flower but Blogger won't let me upload the photos right now. I'll try later .
