Tonight we’ll be celebrating halloween in our neighbourhood. It’s not common for us Dutchies to celebrate this so it’s difficult to make it special. This year it is very hard to find a decent sized pumpkin!

Our city supports the people who do stuff together to make the neighbourhood a better place. They call it “opzoomeren”, named after the first street that started this. This year it’s the third time we celebrate this and it gets bigger every year. Last year there even was a haunted house in the street next to us… how cool is that!?

All the children dress up and go to the houses for trick or treat. So they sing their little song and then we give them some candy Ofcourse we need to to something special for the kids too and we “pimp” our garden a little to make it spooky. We probably have as much fun as the kids: preparing a scary garden :p Later tonight or tomorrow we will add a gallery with some pictures.

Update: It was great fun! They made a haunted house a few streets next to us and it was really scary… the kids (and their parents) loved our garden and we enjoyed ourselves also. Check out the gallery for the pictures.
