I torsdags hade veterinaren vi gar till ett Open House. Alla kanner Thor och han trivdes bra (han trivs for att han alltid far en massa treats dar). Han fick leka modell, ata treats, (ata ho), traffa andra hundar och leka med alla doktorer. Jag fick fylla i tickets och lagga i olika lador. Jag laste inte pa ladorna, bara la ner och tydligen vann jag nagon forsakring. Tack tack.
Vi fick liten goodie-bag som Thor saklart fick ata igar pa Halloween nar vi at var mat. 

On Thursday had the vet we go to an Open House. Everybody knows Thor and he liked it there (he likes it because he always gets a lot of treats there). He got to play model, eat treats, (eat hay), meet other dogs and play with all the doctors. I got to fill in tickets and put in boxes. I didn’t read on the boxes, just put them down and apparently I won some insurance. Thank you.
We got a little goodie-bag that Thor of course got to eat yesterday on Halloween when we ate our food. 

Jag skrev ju att jag inte markt av Halloween sa mycket. Well, har gar man ju all in under sjalva dagen. Hela Battery Park var utkladda. Forra aret jobbade jag i Rhode Island pa Naval War College, sa jag fick inte uppleva hur det gar till med trick or treat har. Men saklart, alla barnen var utkladda och gick fran hus till hus, dorr till dorr och fick massor med godis. Foraldrarna hade en lista med alla i omradet som har signat upp sig och tog med barnen runt. Valdigt kul tycker jag att det hander aven har i NYC. Var granne hade saklart massor med godis och vi hade barn som sprang utanfor dorren i flera timmar. Thor ville sakert saga hej till dem allihop, haha. 
Igar kom Emma och Cristian hem till oss for en mysig halloweenkvall. Mat, prat och massa bus med Thor. Trevligt med en lugnare kvall med nara vanner. 

I wrote that I haven’t noticed so much of Halloween. Well, here you go all in during the actual day. Whole Battery Park was dressed up. Last year I worked in Rhode Island at Naval War College, so I didn’t get to experience how they do trick or treat here. But of course, all the kids were in costumes and went from house to house, door to door and got lots of candy. The parents had a list with everybody who signed up and took the kids around. I think that very fun that it happens also here in NYC. Our neighbor had of course a lot of candy and we had kids that ran outside our door for several hours. Thor probably wanted to say hi to them all, haha. 
Yesterday, Emma and Cristian came home to us for a cozy halloween night. Food, talk and lots of play with Thor. Nice with a calmer evening with close friends.

Thor hade en liten bjorn jumpsuit for Halloween. Saklart anvande han den bara i typ en minut. Sa har ar nagra foton vi snabbt tog da han provade den forsta gangen for nagra dagar sedan.

Thor had a little bear jumpsuit for Halloween. Of course he only had it on for like a minute. So here is some photos we quickly took when he tried it on for the first time the other day.

Idag ar det Alla Helgons Dag och Amerikanska Halloween. Jag har faktiskt inte markt av det sa mycket i ar. Jag har mott nagra barn som varit utkladda pavag till skolan, men inte mycket mer an sa. Kanske ar det mer tex. i Midtown? 
Jag har daremot markt pa facebook och instagram den senaste veckan att svenska vanner lagger ut bilder pa pumpor och olika halloween kostymer. Har det blivit en riktig grej dar nu? Nar jag vaxte upp visste man vad Halloween var, men man firar det inte. Jag laste en artikel forra veckan om att en amerikansk man, Bill Schakt, som bor i Sverige nu har fatt ihop en Halloween parad i Stockholm, Shockholm. Dessutom ska det vara en hel festival kring detta. Hahah, i Sverige tar man alltid ett steg langre. Samma med tex. Pride…varfor har Sverige hela helger och NY bara en dag? Kul for svenskarna iaf att det hander saker. Tydligen ska Globen bli en monsterpumpa, det hade jag velat se!
Bor man i New York och man vill se eller vara med i paraden, kan man hitta info HERE. Borjar kl. 7pm ikvall. Jag har varit dar en gang, det ar total kaos och man far halla hart i den man gar dit med, men det ar en otrolig upplevelse faktiskt. Musik, dansare, artister, jatte puppets och alla i helt fantastiska costumes. 

Today is All Saints Day and the American Halloween. I have actually not noticed it so much this year. I have met some kids in costumes on their way to school, but not much more than that. Maybe there is more in perhaps Midtown?
I have noticed on facebook ad instagram the past week that Swedish friends are posting pictures of pumpkins and different halloween costumes. Has that become a real thing there now? When I grew up you knew what Halloween was, but you never celebrated it. I read an article last week that an american man, Bill Schakt, that now lives in Sweden, now has put together a Halloween parade in Stockholm, Shockholm. Also, there will be a whole festival around this. Hahah, in Sweden you take everything one step further. Same with like Pride…why has Sweden whole weekends and NY only one day? Fun for the Swedish people that there is stuff going on. Apparently will Globen turn into a monster pumpkin, I would love to see that!
If you live in New York and you want to see or participate in the parade, you can find more info HERE. It starts at 7pm tonight. I have been there once, it is total chaos and you have to hold tight to the one you going there with, but it an incredible experience actually. Music, dancers, artists, giant puppets and everyone in fantastic costumes.
