Halloween was extra special this year with Fanny here. Having found out that France doesn't go as crazy at Halloween as North America does (Canadians spend 1 billion annually on Halloween, second only to Christmas) the girls had some fun doing such things as;
- Carving pumpkins ( Fanny went with the traditional jack-o-lantern while Brooke went with the Fall Out Boy one)
- Getting dressed up to hand out candy to the kids ( we had 40)
- Making gingerbread Halloween homes
- After much persuading watching the scary movie The Grudge
- Appearing on the Halloween edition of MTV (Medway TV)
I couldn't end without commenting on our Monopoly game we played the other night. Our "friendly" game of Monopoly turned into a ruthless but fun night of buying, selling and deal making. Fanny informed us that at home her sister Florine who is 12 always wins well on this night it was all Fanny. She owned Boardwalk, Park Place, the 4 railroads and 2 utilities and once she added homes and eventually hotels we were finished.
Congratulations to Canadian Monopoly Champion Fanny Cools!
