On an overcast, stormy night, where the rain pelted down in dark fury and the winds were sighing agitatedly, a large motley crew of ghouls, demons, witches and vampires convened. There were also some fairies, a few princesses and a handful of pirates. Even Darth Vadar made a rare appearance from many galaxies away. Darth Vadar wheezed clumsily, then proceeded to remove his emblematic mask to reveal....Little Bee! A witch perched near Darth Vadar, with her face completely obscured beneath a dense curtain of thick, black hair, swept the hair aside to disclose...Big Bee!
This was the 3rd Halloween party at our estate that the Bees were participating - and we had as much fun as previous years! However, timid Little Bee declined to take part in the trick-or-treats session this year, preferring to stay in the comfort of our safe home with my Mum. I guessed the gloomy weather had insidiously perturbed her!

In the meantime, while waiting for the Bees' friends to arrive, Big Bee and I went ambling around for some trick-or-treats...and she was very brave this year! There was a house whose door was creepily shut with only a big skeleton hanging on the door with an eerie plaintive whine emanating from a scary sound machine. Big Bee, together with a group of 4 Japanese girls around her age, dared not knock on the door because they were spooked out by the scene and sound. I knocked on the door, with them cowering behind me, and the door creaked open slowly. A tall woman, hiding behind a monstrous mask, opened the door and moaned dramatically...albeit still giving the girls their treats. The girls retreated hastily, heaving huge sighs of relief. It was very amusing for me.
There was a man who even asked me if I would like any treats, and stared in surprise when I told him I was Big Bee's mother. He uttered, "Oh, you look really young!" That made my evening for sure! ;)
PF and LP came soon after, and after a quick dinner, the 5 children (minus Little Bee who was still contented to stay home) went jaunting around the estate for their treats. Check out their frightening ensemble!

Back home, the mothers were chatting happily over dinner, and thereafter, after a long night, it was the kids' turns to pour out entire mountains of sweets to trade and discuss over!
Some serious trading going on!
The next day, we adjourned to PF's house for another brief Halloween party where the Bees made new friends again.
Little Bee can now join the rest of the big girls to play and yak, yay!
What a spookily fun weekend!
