Trick or Treat or Dia de los Muertos


It was candy weekend! The boys braved the low temps and made it around the entire neighborhood ending their evening with a party at the neighbors house until midnight with a Scooby Doo medley.
The next day, after the boys sorted out all of the candy that contained nuts and donated them to their parents, we had a ring at our door. A family unfamiliar with Iowan culture was attempting to trick or treat, but had missed the actual Beggar's night. Beggar's night is the night before Halloween when Iowans trick or treat. Hunter and Blake were trying to explain to them that they had missed the night, but struggled with their lack of understanding of English so Hunter just handed over his trick or treat bucket and let them have it.

Finally, Sunday was Dia de los Muertos. Amy and Hunter went to the Art Center for the big festival. They decorated sugar skulls, sampled Day of the Dead bread and sipped on Mexican Hot Chocolate in the court yard. There was a Mariachi band, dancing, puppet shows and a lot of art to see.
We have been having a little trouble understanding why we have to learn Spanish. We saw Hunter's Spanish teacher at the event - points. However, I think after giving up his candy because he could not communicate with the Spanish speaking guests at our door helped him see the light a little more. Educational weekend!

Oooo! Love the sugar skull. I made a Pan de Muertos, Hunter, and I'll put it on the abbeystyle blog tomorrow. Watch for it!

You didn't want all that candy anyway...now you'll do less damage to your teeth.
