This is our first Halloween.
We have never fully understood what Halloween was all about till today. The day started with all the kids going to school as ususal but without the ususal school activities. There were parades where kids, teachers and even the principal and his family all dressed up in their favourite costumes and walk round the residence near the school. It was fun because everyone come in all different kinds of costumes.
But the real big fun started when the sun set. Our doorbell rang non-stop as kids with their parents came asking for treats...we were so busy giving out candies and chocolates and all kinds of goodies. Kai and Ann also did the same thing, they went with the neighbour kids to do 'tricks or treats'.
Little Ann had a great time with all her friends at pre-school. She was dressed as a Chinese princess, in her little pink cheongsum.
In the evening, while we were still half-way through our dinner, we realised that we have been 'invaded' by people from all over....
Spiderman, pumpkin man, witches, aliens and even the girl (what's her name?) from Wizard of Oz
We also found Darth Vader and his team standing at our door. Even a clown appeared
Transformer and his angel....who needs a costume to receive treats...it's all about having fun!
These two girls' costumes were my favourite for that night. They said they were from Harry Potter
All the fun ended at 8.30pm. It was not very late. Kai and Ann had such fun that they couldn't sleep for that night. What really impressed me about this whole event was that the kids were not roaming on the street on their own, they were not put at risk, knocking at strangers' houses. Their parents followed them and some even did it as a family. From grandparents to parents to kids. It was just one whole big family affair.
