The kids dress up and trick or treat, but the schools are not so much involved like they are back in Canada. The treats that people hand out are either home-made baking or individual candies from a bag (but not wrapped individually if you know what I mean).
We went to a party with some friends from town and the kids used that as their base for trick or treating. Very similar to what we do back in the 'hood of Richie Hazeldean.
Have you ever decided to dress like a garden gnome or an old man or a street person or a lumberjack and realize that you don't have to go out and buy any clothes to make your outfit? That's just sad.
Rick, du ER en gammel nisse!
ReplyDeleteHey! Are those my socks?!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite was you as the fat reck-neck with butt crack (drawn directly onto the panty hose) ! That would have been great in Denmark! Real cultural. One day, I'll find that photo! But the gnome wins 2nd prize.
ReplyDeleteTrick or treating in Ritchie was great this year. Lots of kids. Someone on 72 AVE. won a contest on the radio and hosted a block party with a tented warming station with hot chocolate and tim bits. Great costume, Rick. Had everything already.
ReplyDeleteSorry about what that says about your wardrobe. Still have parsnips in the garden. Nicest autumn. Katrhyn
Get with it Mr. Wilsonrasmussen, this was your one day of the year to dress sl*tty and not ahave to deal with all the annoying questions.
ReplyDeleteLove your blog, but wouldn't reading an engineer's blog just be the worst without spellcheck.
