We just couldn't do it - we could not deny the kids their "trick-or-treat experience." So we scrapped and scrounged and came up with makeshift costumes and... look at that -- a theme!Presenting Team Davis as "European Sports Fanatics."
Cast members include:
Ellie as "Sophie" the child prodigy tennis player
Cole as "Jacques" the Tour de France mountain specialist
Lance as "Dafydd" club rugby star, and
Amy as "Olga" German marathon champion
This French Halloween experience comes complete with indoor trick or treating, sponsored by Aunt Jill, and pumpkin carving (one French pumpkin, and one normal pumpkin -- they call them Jack-O-Lanterns here). We turned out the lights and outfitted the kids with their Halloween flashlights, "Boo" candy basket, and went knocking on doors, which there are plenty of in this house. So you know the drill -- knock on door, say "trick-or-treat," door opens, get candy. Ellie was in control of the Boo basket but was still more than able to grab all the chocolate bars she could find. Cole on the other hand foolishly went for size over substance and grabbed about 15 pretzel packets. Silly fool. Neither kid seemed at all upset to see Daddy behind every door, as
long as he had "the bowl."
I guess we all win because the "leftover" stuff in the candy bowl is all getting eaten by us!
