Halloween is here and everywhere. In this city it's incredible, all the houses with pumpkins and ghosts in all the windows, all the shops have been decorated and everybody is looking for scary customs.
Yo la verdad es que no era muy partidaria de celebrarla, en España antes no era una fiesta, mas bien era un momento de ir a los cementerios y las abuelas rezar los rosarios, con el tiempo se ha ido convirtiendo en una fiesta para los niños, pero yo no he sabido explicársela a mis hijas, eso de los muertos todavía no lo entienden.
It is true that I am not a huge fan of this celebration. In Spain, it wasn't a party, it was more time to go to the cementery and grandmothers praying the rosary, but now it is also a kids party... I cannot explain to my daughter the reason of the party, she doesn't understand yet death.
Bueno, este año, ya que estoy en faceta creativa, me he lanzado a la calle a por nuestra calabaza y a hacer todo tipo de manualidades, menos mal que existe Pinterest, mi imaginación es nula.
This year, continuing with my creative moment, I have our pumpkin and we did a lot of crafts, thanks to Pinterest, as my imagination is useless.
He de decir que el día ha sido genial, Mati está de vacaciones y me la he llevado a desayunar a mi terraza favorita, a disfrutado como una enana haciendo planes de mamá, luego hemos ido a una papelería a comprar todo lo negro y naranja que hemos encontrado, luego a por la calabaza, estaba feli¡¡
I have to say that we had a very nice day. Mati is on holidays (half term) and we went to have breakfast in my favourite coffee (Kitchen and Pastry), she enjoyed a lot doing mamma´s plans. After that, we went to a stationary shop to take all the orange and black paper. And of course to get the pumpkin.
Y mañana nos disfrazamos y nos vamos a la calle para pasearnos el barrio y de paso cotillear las casas impresionantes que nos rodean. Además muy bien acompañadas, vienen a pasar el fin de semana su amigo del alma y mi amiga alemana. Cómo os echamos de menos¡¡¡
Tomorrow we will disguise and we are going to walk in the neighborhood to do trick or treat. Also we will take advantage to snoop the incredible houses.... and we are going in good company. Matilda's best friend and his german mother are coming to spend the weekend in London. How we miss you¡¡
Ya os contaré que tal salío el dia
I will tell you how the day went.
