It's that time of the year again for kids to get dressed up in costumes and parents to take lots of pictures of them all in the name of candy. Several weeks ago, the women's social club I'm involved with here had their annual kids Halloween parade up and down our neighborhood's high street. Since we will be out of the country on October 31, this was the girls' one opportunity to get dressed up in their costumes for treats.
May we present to you Little Lamb and Cinderella
Seriously, have you ever seen a lamb cuter than this one??
Along the little parade route, there were people passing out candy to the kids. Much to my disappointment (but to the betterment of my health and thighs), the Halloween candy here in the UK is gets a score of 2 on the 1 (never, ever putting that in my mouth) to 10 (MUST eat this before the kiddos find it) scale of parent stealing worthiness. None of the yummy mini Snickers or little bags of M&Ms I grew up with. No siree. It's all about the rock hard taffy and lollipops here. I guess it's ulimately a good thing though since the girls try one bit, realize it's uneatable without pulling their teeth apart and then spit it out into the garbage.
Games faces on!
I guess Olivia already had a hunch as to the quality of the treats to come
Be still my heart...
After the costume parade up and down the street, all the kids and parents piled into the nearby cinema for food, treats and a Halloween themed animated movie. True to their personalities, Olivia couldn't make it through the whole movie while Ashton was perfectly content to sit on a lap and peacefully watch the whole thing.
