Halloween in Germany

So yes, there is Halloween in Germany on a much smaller scale. Maybe a couple trick-or-treaters. But I came home this evening to find the lights turned out in the house. Mirjam said I could grab some supper in the kitchen but then put the light back out since they didn't want too many trick-or-treaters..but they still had some candy out. I was confused. O well. Trick-or-treating a memory I miss most about my childhood...sigh.
Anyways, the kids are one fall break. So they are home for the week, which is nice. Plus they do special things on break. For example, yesterday afternoon we went swimming. And tomorrow we are going to Munich. I also have off tomorrow since it is All Saints Day-which means more here than just reminder on your calendar. It's a day off to go visit graveyards or something like that, obviously catholic. But maybe I am supposed to think about my saint since I have one-Saint Elizabeth of Hungary-her day is Nov. 17th which means my parents are giving me lots of presents on that day.
*O I hear trick or treaters now-the lights off didn't stop them. haha.*
Today I worked at Ruth's. Mirjam and Hanna wanted to come over in the afternoon so they came right as we were about to have lunch. Hanna then went to her friends house and Mirjam stayed longer. We sorted through some baby clothes in boxes and labeled them. That was interesting to have the girls there too.
