Monster Mash

"He did the mash.
He did the monster mash.
The monster mash.
It was a graveyard smash.
He did the mash.
It caught on in a flash.
He did the mash.
He did the monster mash."
- Bobby Pickett & The Crypt-Kickers






We were able to celebrate Halloween tonight with Big's preschool. Even though the boys did not participate in the traditional 'trick-or-treating' they still had the time of their life. Music filled each room and every ghost, goblin, witch, princess, Darth Vader, and Snow White danced with delight. A buffet was provided along with a selection of desserts and beverages. At the end of the night they announced the best costume. "And the winner is...THE CHICKEN!" It was a huge turnout for a Halloween party in a country that does not partake in the event. Saturday is Finland's observance for All Saints Day.

Thanks to our awesome friends from The Mound, Big and Little were able to decorate pumpkins, bake Jack-O-Lantern shaped cupcakes, and consume some American Halloween goodies.


We hope everyone had a safe and adventurous Halloween back at home! We experienced our first snowfall of the season today. Only a few flurries but enough to get us excited for winter. We will see everyone NEXT month!
