Halloween

That's as decorated as it got for Halloween this year. Skyla enjoyed her breakfasts here during the couple of weeks leading up to the big day.

 Skyla opted to be a Black Cat for October 31st this year. We bought her "ears" from the local grocery store because you can hardly get anything ANYWHERE here (not a big holiday)---and they look more like a mouse-bunny than a darn cat, but Skyla didn't care.

Of course I knew that black eyeliner that I no longer wear WOULD come in handy ONE DAY...

 Here Skyla is with some friends from school, and their cousins. This particular family has made it to the blog once before for our camping trip, you may remember? They spent some time in America and therefore are fond of celebrating Halloween, so they offered to host this year's trick-or-treating homebase.
As I told you, it's really hard to buy Halloween gear here, so please note the humorous EASTER BASKET being used as a candy-collector.....

I felt a bit guilty having brought over Skyla's American trick-or-treat bucket...Oh well, what can ya do?

This is more candy at once that Skyla's gotten from England than all the years put together! Can't wait to show her what 2013 brings!
(see top left of the stash) One lady ran out of candy, and gave Skyla a 2p piece (two pennies, one coin) to resolve the issue of a possible TRICK at hand...

"Aw, Bless" as they say here.
