Happy Halloween!

Wednesday was Trunk or Treat here and this year both kids got to go. Emma joined us as well. We do Trunk or Treat because Halloween is still relatively new here in Germany. (My in-laws once complained that some kids had the nerve to ring their doorbell and "beg" for candy!)

Basically, the American and Canadian families gather their cars in the parking lot of the international school and open their trunks and decorate them. Some people go all out and have spooky music, jack-o-lanterns or videos playing. The kids paraded a couple of times and then went from car to car trick or treating.

Last year, Jay was pretty good. He ate only one piece of candy and the next day forgot he even had it- bonus for me! This year, neither Jay nor Nils had any interest in trick or treating. Jay was a little overwhelmed and Nils only wanted to run around. They got a little candy, ate one piece, and forgot they had it again. Again, bonus for me!
