Halloween

Halloween was so much fun. It's really great to live in a neighborhood where there are so many young kids. Stian had a blast. He had a really good day in general. His teachers put on quite the Halloween party from what he told me. The theme was mad scientist.

Then the evening started with our neighbors across the street serving up chili and hotdogs and beer for the whole neighborhood. We didn't eat much - well, Kris had some - but we went over and mingled with the neighbors and the kids had fun running around. Then people started wandering back to their houses to get into position and the kids went a bit crazy.

It was fun. Stian and I went around trick or treating up and down our street and Silje and Kris sat on the front steps and handed out candy. When Stian was done trick or treating we all sat on the steps for another half hour or so handing out candy. We had a lot of kids come. Maybe next year we'll have to count how many. We did not run out of candy though, so that is good. We actually have quite a bit left.

I'm not sure why Stian looks so grumpy in some of these pictures. He really wasn't. He was having fun. Maybe he just didn't want to get his picture taken.
