Halloween in Paris

We couldn't bear E missing his first Halloween, so we got him a super cute bee costume and brought it with us. And of course we had to take his picture at the quinticential Paris landmark -- the Eiffel Tower.

It was fun being in Paris for the holiday. Halloween is a new holiday here & like home it involves kids dressing up and trick-or-treating. Unlike home, all the kids are dressed as witches or goblins and trick-or-treating happens at the shops and patisseries, not at homes. What a deal! I'd like to go trick-or-treating at the patisseries here. For a few seconds, we considered taking E to Polaine or Le Notre...

Some people looked a little confused as to why we had our child dressed as a bumble bee, but those that "got it" couldn't resist coming up and tweaking his little antennea. E loved all the attention and we all had a good time. All in all, a good day.
