Happy Halloween – and the scary children it brings!
Ok, so what does a little Russian girl want to be for Halloween? Baba Yaga, the russian witch.
If you want to know about Baba Yaga, here is a story for you…

So, did Vera do a great Baba Yaga or what? Of course Aric, who doesn’t do scary real well goes as Jason from Fri the 13′th. Of course Aric has never seen such a movie. And for good reason. The sleepless nights would be very hard on us all!
Mom took the first trip out to the neighbors. I stayed home and fed candy to the children. “One for you, one for me, one for you, another one for me…”
When Aric, Vera and Mom got back, Vera wanted to go again. She was sad for poor Scott who was at high school still rehearsing the musical. (He got home at almost midnight, poor child) So Vera says “Trick or treat again, for Scott!” So off we went, Vera and Daddy. She held my hand most of the way. So sweet. She got another full bucket of candy. When we got back to the house, Vera took her new bucket and emptied it into a plastic bag and had us write Scott’s name on the bag. Vera was most pleased with herself.
When Scott came home, we told him how his sister had gone out trick or treating for him since it was “poor Scott at school”, and he just had a nearly teary eyed moment. “I love my sister!”
Yeah, we love your sister too.
Happy Halloween
