Halloween
Last year, Louka really wanted to go trick-or-treating, but I wasn't prepared so I put her off. This year when I suggested she go, she wasn't so keen. However, when I arranged to go with her school friend she got into the spirit... demanding to dress up as the monster Ichabod from Deltora Quest. So I spent this morning shopping for red clothing and red cardboard, and watching and pausing episodes of Deltora Quest to sketch Ichabod's face.
After school she dressed up and we drove to her friend's place. Another classmate also came along. We headed off along the two streets we'd been told were good. There were lots of spiders, skeletons, pumpkins and other creepiness.
After an hour Louka got bored and wanted to go home. But she was keen to hand out lollies to other trick-or-treaters who came by our house. So we put out a balloon and a bowl of lollies.

Louka looks quite scary in her costume. Were people terrified to open their doors? Or were they too frightened not to pacify the monster?
John.
No-one was scared to open their door, though the little girl across the road was a bit scared when we had a playdate next day and Louka modelled the mask.
We did get a couple of comments that it was a great mask.
