Halloween

Halloween in the US is totally different to the UK. It is a really big event with shops selling decorations, costumes, Halloween candy, & just about Halloween themed everthing else from mid-September. We kept our decorations very low-key compared to some of the houses in St Louis, but made sure that Beth got involved in as many Halloween activities as possible to get a feel for this 'new' occasion. These included making halloween decorations & decorating artificial pumpkins at Michaels, & trick & treating at Kirkwood & around our neighbourhood.
