Trick or Treat

Witches

Well it was Halloween weekend here in Bergen and a fun time was had by all. Norwegians don't generally go in for the whole trick or treat thing but as we're all 'internationals' we celebrated in true halloween style.

Ziela and Erlend organised a halloween party for the kids and adults on Saturday afternoon. First of all, the men went to play squash while the women started the cooking and getting the kids ready. The kids had some pizza then the dads took them out trick or treating round Ziela's neighbours.

After that, we all ate Ziela's curry while the kids played upstairs. It was a great laugh for both adults and kids. I dressed up as a devil woman, Heather was a witch, Hamish was a lion (for about 30 seconds) and Alan was a doctor (he borrowed Erlend's white coat and stethoscope).

Jamie was a 50's housewife complete with bouffant hair and girdle! Mette was a black widow spider, Nick was a hanged zombie with a rope around his neck. Ziela was a sexy maid and Erlend was a WOMAN!!! The kids were the usual mix of princesses, witches and vampires and not forgetting Lilia's spiderwoman costume!

We eventually headed home around 9.30pm after Alan had consumed way too much beer and wine and was becoming obnoxious!

Sunday was a quiet day largely due to Alan's hangover! We just did some housework and watched some telly.

Here's some photos from the party yesterday. Enjoy.
