Halloween!

Halloween isn’t really a thing in Norway yet. At least not very much anyway. I think this will change in a couple of years as the younger generation catches onto the “free candy” aspect of the holiday. Anyway, we had a full day of Halloween fun with pumpkin carving, children’s theater Halloween show, and then waiting for trick-or-treaters at home.

Each of the kids got their own little pumpkin, and then we got one big pumpkin, too.

Imagine Ruby being all pink. Oh, and: no, I’m not pregnant — that’s Apl in the sling. You can just see her eye peeping up over the edge!

We finally decided to get the kids a scooter (so they could have practice steering and balancing without the high-stakes wipe-outs possible on a bike). We presented it to them as part of the Halloween fun.

Both of the kids decided the big pumpkin should be sad.

C’s is on the left, Ruby’s on the right. We put the big one outside to encourage trick-or-treaters to ring, and these ones in the hallway as further indicators that there was candy to be had here!

Such happy little pumpkins!
