Halloween in Chile is picking up the pace. When my husband was young, Halloween didn’t even exist here. Yet in the past few years it has become quite the event to celebrate. Kids sometimes get to dress up for school, but mostly the gung-ho parents take their kids out trick-or-treating. When they knock on your door, you hear the phrase “dulces o travesuras” which means “trick or treat”!

We didn’t end up going trick-or-treating but we did go to a friend’s house for a gathering. Of course we took Dulcinea along and she too dressed up for the occasion.

Doesn’t she make the cutest abeja (bee) ever?!?!?! This picture was right after we put her costume on. It was actually meant for a baby and so we had to fix the skirt and antennas.
As you can see from this picture, the wings were still too big and had a tendency to fall to one side so eventually we took them off so they wouldn’t bother her.

We didn’t end up getting a picture of the three of us together, but we did take separate pictures:

We were kind of late on planning our costumes which is why they are so simple. Next year we will have to put more time and effort into getting costumes together. I know Christian is set on having Dulcinea dress up as a completo (hot dog-type Chilean food) in the future! We'll for sure have to gather the materials for such a costume early because I am sure it will have to be handmade!
