That's right, I ditched the bunny ears and wig from last year and came as something more... comprehensible. Yesterday it was our annual Halloween Party for the kids. Activities included station games (I ran the 'run with a ball on a spoon' game, to much hilarity), a parade around the block (which is conveniently right in the middle of the city - hello free school advertising) and trick-or-treating, where we split up into groups and took the kids to various shops in the area so they could get candy. Yay!
For the latter two activities, the local TV crew were following us around filming. They will especially like their footage of the foreign ninja leading his group of kids into Tully's Coffee to trick-or-treat, before realising awkwardly that the store owners were waiting for us outside the shop with the candy. Quickly backtracking in front of a few dozen live spectators, plus the TV guys. Hmm...
Get this: one of the shops my group was set to trick-or-treat at was closed!! How dodgy is that!!! My kids felt so jibbed, and so did I. But it was nice when the TV crew interviewed 2 of the girls from my group. Man, those girls did so well. Can't wait to see the footage that aired.
Photos of the halloween party here.
Great photos.

Or are we still in denile? Is it still 'Room Wear?'
No trick-or-treaters? Bah, kids these days! Halloween is huge here. I had about 6 kids forcing candy on me. I didn't want it! But they were so intent on being generous, and in the end I just couldn't say no.
