HAPPY HALLOWEEN FROM KRISTA, ERIK AND KAITLYN!!!
The kids are getting excited for Trick-or-Treating tomorrow night! Krista has invited her best friend Carla for the festivities tomorrow...and Erik will of course tag along with the girls. Kaitlyn has NO intention of being a part of Halloween this year. Here in France Halloween is actually just about Gools and Goblins--only scary costumes are allowed! The costumes are pretty scary indeed---you will see a combination of witches, ghosts, skeletons and the nicest of the bunch---pumpkins! Erik has bought a skeleton costume this year while Krista and Kaitlyn will be pumpkins. We went costume shopping last week and after we got the costumes home, Kaitlyn ran into the closet and hid. She didn't want any part of her costume. There was one older costume of Krista's from a previous year (a witch dress) that she liked alot---just because it was long dress so she might just wear that, but I highly suspect it will be too scary for her and she'll stay at home with Toomas and eat from the candy bowl!
Yesterday we carved pumpkins and today we did a pumpkin painting project. We had a lot of fun carving the pumpkins yesterday. The kids each designed their own pumpkin faces (except Kaitlyn who helped take the seeds out of the pumpkins). I LOVE freshly baked pumpkin seeds so I was in heaven yesterday!! I found out that it is one of the healthiest foods you can eat in pregnancy. Of course they are packed with zinc and iron but they also contain a fatty acid that is essential to fetal brain and eye development! Hooray...no-guilt-snacking for me! :) We baked up 3 cookie trays of toasted, salted seeds and had fun snacking on those. Today we took out the acrylic paints and did a pumpkin project that Krista had read about in her American Girl magazine. It is super cute!!
Here are a few photos:
The finished product! Krista's Halloween BLACK CAT!! :)
