  • A surprising event for Argentina…

    Posted at 1:04 pm by Millie, on October 31, 2018

    This event is Halloween and people in Argentina don’t really celebrate because in Carrefour they were skipping it and going straight to Christmas.  There wasn’t much to buy but we DID find this funky skeleton who’s really got the moves:

    And then we decided to make our own decorations.  We made bats, spiders and pumpkins and lots of other games to play at our party.

    We are living in an estate and we have some lovely neighbours and we invited them over for our party.  There were 2 twin boys at the age of 6 and a mother and father. Their names were Martin, Nacho (who are the twins), and Tatiana and Eduardo (who are the mother and father).

    Our family dressed up and Daddy was a a crazy gaucho:

    Mummy was wicked witch:

    And I was a spooky black cat

    We hid the games in our bedroom (until it was time to play), and scared off invaders with our spider corridor trick:

    These are some of the games we played and made:

    The slime bath we made was sticky and icky and it was very Halloweeny because it was bright green.

    We did bowling which was very cool because we made the skittles ourselves.  We made them out of beer cans, black card and chalk. I made Daddy, and Mummy and Rob drink a lot of beer to get enough cans to make the game!

    We paid some traditional games like pass the parcel, musical statues, pop the balloons, apple bobbing, tube stacking, and stick-the-spider-on-the-web.  We got candies as prizes for all the games.

    We made a game where there were 3 different compartments in a box and you had to stick your hand in and guess what was in the compartment while your hand was in it.  We put ketchup water in one, mushed banana in another and dried pasta in the last one. Everyone said “euwwwww, thats disgusting!”

    The last game we played was donuts-on-strings where you have to eat the donuts without using any hands.

    After that we had a wonderful candlelit dinner that Daddy cooked on the Asado.

    After dinner our final game was toilet papering people to make them look like a mummy.  It was very fun and toilet paper went everywhere.

    And guess what happened the next morning to the 3 donuts that were left over:

    We love you Pinto!

      Wow Emily, That was absolutely the “Bestest” Halloween I have ever seen and far better that anything you could have bought in the shops. Poor Mummy, Daddy and Robert having to drink all that beer though. Yes, the cans made an excellent skittles game. I really loved it all and it was great to see you all having such fun, even the ponies…..that Video was absolutely classic and made me laugh so much. I wonder how long it took to clear up all the toilet paper! Great stuff Emily, keep it coming, we love it so much. Grandpa.

      Em, loved reading about your Halloween! I love the groovy skeleton – I hope he makes it home! I agree with Grandpa – must have been tough for the grownups drinking all that bear!! I’m sure they enjoyed!

      I also loved the video of the horses donut bobbing!!! I laughed so much – Pinty reminds me of greedy Thunder!

      Speak soon! Love you! Lxxx
