Monsters at Home!

Today I discovered lice in my homegrown avocado-trees. These bugs are frustrating; during the summer I had spider-mites in my roses and now these annoying lice... Verónika found a little spider under our bookshelves and we decided he should find a new home on one of my trees, doing a good deed and kill the bugs. But after just a few seconds the spider had vanished, sure he was afraid and didn't like the company! (Or who knows, perhaps we have monster lice, who kill spiders and chomp them in a few seconds? Creepy...)

Talking about creepy: Sometime very soon is Halloween (don't know the exact date). Jóhanna came home from school today, presenting a birthday invitation of a classmate, who wanted the party to be in Halloween-style. The kids were requested to show up dressed in a costume fitting for the event, and after a while of thinking Jóhanna decided she wanted to be a vampire. When I began to put make-up on Jóhanna, Verónika came home from kindergarden and demanded a vampire make up as well.
Look how our cute girls changed into dagerous creatures:
