Trick or Treat

On Hallowee'en night, my 2 favorite neighbours and I decided to take our little ones out trick-or-treating. For those of you who may be unfamilliar with Swiss culture, Hallowe'en is the new and emerging "Fest". Until 2 years ago, very few people knew about Hallowe'en as we do in North America (no wonder people constantly frown here...they have never experienced trick-or-treating!!! )

Géraldine, Sévérine and I got our toddlers all dressed up, got the digital camera all fired up and off we went. At first, Miles had no clue what was going on and he seemed to be much more interested in the cats and balls he met along the way. We Mom's had to ring at the first few houses so that the kids would know the routine. I could tell that Miles was quickly getting bored while waiting for people to answer the door and would constantly run around UNTIL.............. he figured out that if he waited patiently, someone would come and put candy in his bag.

When he made light of this event, it was quite hilarious to see how enthusiastic he became. Soon after, HE was the one knocking at the doors and telling the people "mehr bonbons". Cats and balls were no longer interesting. Sugar took control over Miles on Hallowe'en night and he's been bouncing off the walls ever since.
