Happy Halloween!!! I love Halloween but was a little sad to celebrate it in Germany this year. I love dressing up for this holiday but this year was a little different for me because I didn't have a costume loft full of costumes at my disposal. Plus we just moved to Germany and I have no idea where a fabric or craft store is around here. I don't even have a glue gun yet :( But I do have a bazillion boxes because the movers were just here so I came up with the idea of being a Lego couple this year. I thought up a design and pattern and started cutting away. I was very short on supplies so masking tape was all I had to tape it all together. (Just think how amazing these costumes would of been if I actually had the right materials!) I went to Toom (a German store like Home Depot) to get spray paint. They were 6 euros each (over $25 total) and didn't even stay on the cardboard so I had to run to the BX on Ramstein Air Base to get more paint. It ended up being a pricey project but they turned pretty good... if you squint your eyes and turn your head a little.
We only got a few children come to our door this year. It was funny hearing them say "Süßes oder Saures" ("sweet or sour") instead of the American "trick or treat."
