We have a Halloween lover in the house. It started mid-August with pleas to host a spooky party. |
Then came the weeks of lists, floorplans, and big ideas. In final preparations, she sewed her own costume and proudly displayed it, |
in all it's sundry incarnations. |
Apparently her friends are all likewise spooky-minded. |
So I did my best to come up with the right themed foods and decor in a country void of Halloween. |
"Baby Mummies", for example. |
She masterminded the games, prepared supplies, and orchestrated events. |
And the result? Not bad for a group of international kids who mostly don't celebrate Halloween. Children are so accommodating. |
And this guy helped clean up any leftovers. |
Someone must have taught him the stem trick . . . |
We'll likely be seeing these hard won homemade decorations again next year. |
This is really sweet. It sounds like an occasion that you could write a great humor piece on. 'Homemade Halloween.' It would go great in Readers Digest.. if Readers Digest is still around, that is. I also really love it when kids create their own costumes.
