Pumpkins, dress up and randomness

First time in America, first Halloween experience! Sucks that I'm too old to trick or treat, but you could still smell my feet and we can all have something good to eat! Yes, au pairs get bored!

It turns out I arrived in America in pretty good timing. Missed all the snow storms in Connecticut, just in time for the Festivities and celebrating the "Hallows" which comes with a lot of fun and excitement! So for about a whole month I have been carving pumpkins and talking about dressing up and wearing strange costumes and all the rest! I NEVER want to carve a pumpkin again! Three pumpkins in one experience is good thanks, really don't have to do it again! On the up side, got to roast loads of pumpkin seeds! I carved some pretty cool things and decorated some cool 'crime scenes' and then there was the fun of dressing up like random nothings because I was too cheap skate to spend $50 on a stupid costume that I would never look at again!

So after much debate we thought that maybe it would be a little sad if a bunch of girls way over the trick-or-treating age limit dressed up and pretended we were worthy of candy! Much to our delight the realisation of how over rated knocking on people's door and begging for free calories and tooth ache(on a limited medical aid) made us feel a lot better. So just for the show of it we dressed up took photos and did the good old fashioned thing. . . watched horror movies and told lame ghost stories until we fell asleep!

One of those nights that you could really do a scrap book page on.
