Hallowe'en

Standard weekend in Saint-Georges, at a party.

Beth has been entered in a competition for the best costume! See how good hers is :)

Haunted House

Last night we went to the Haunted House in Saint-Come. It was pretty fun, and seemed also to be entirely populated by my students, who would jump out at us, shout boo, then take off their masks crying, "Jennifer, Jennifer!" Pretty hilarious. 

Pumpkin cookies

I decided to get into the spirit of Hallowe'en and carved a pumpkin, so with the innards of my pumpkin, I made these lovely pumpkin cookies! (They taste much better than they look!)

Jack O'Lantern

Can't believe I've never done this before! I'm pretty delighted with how it's turned out to be honest. I want to do another one, with a cooler design.

Boston Day 2 cont. - Salem

In the evening we decided to go to the Hallowe'en capital of the world - Salem! I would have loved to go to the witches museum, but another time I guess. We went to the carnival and to a Haunted House instead. Well, when in Rome and all!
