Halloween x2

It felt like Halloween lasted for days this year, and in fact on Monday, November 2nd, Kieran woke up and asked "Is it still Halloween Mommy?" Halloween with two kids is certainly more fun than one. Even though a week has now past, I've finally got a moment to post my favorite photos and video clips. Part of the reason Halloween seemed to last for ages is because we celebrated on Friday at "school." Makenna was a fairy and Kieran a superhero (after wanting to be a red door, ghost, and scarecrow.)





Kieran has his dance classes on Fridays; here's a cute clip of him and his friends dancing as ghosts...Kieran is the one saying ooooh the loudest the whole time. Parents were asked to participate as much as possible, so since it was my day off, I spent the morning with the kids...in a purple wig...Kier doesn't know that it's me behind the camera :-)


The fun was just beginning though, as we carved our home grown jack-o-lanterns. The big one fell down both sets of steps as Kevin scolded Kiki for eating the pumpkin guts. Thankfully, I managed to carve a small design on the other side...we also still had a second small pumpkin left to carve, so Kieran wasn't quite as devastated.



The day was capped off when my host brother, Niels and his Swedish girlfriend began their visit. The power went out briefly (for the third time that day!) right before they arrived, so we had a very "hyggeligt" candlelit dinner of homemade tomato soup. Then we headed out to trick or treat around the neighborhood. It was fun to show them the neighborhood and catch up between houses. This year Kieran was able to make a 3 block route, and got enough lout that we are just finishing it up!
