Fasching

It's fasching time in Germany! In this area of Germany, fasching is a carnival that lasts from the Thursday before Ash Wednesday to Ash Wednesday. Similar to the Christmas Markets, different towns have their own parades where people dress up in costumes (much like our Halloween). People greet each other with "Helau" (sounds like hell-ow) at the carnival and it is customary for the children to yell "Kamelle" (ka-mel-a) for candy. So today the Kindergarteners dressed up for a fasching party and I went as Winnie-the-Pooh!

This is a kids costume cut into pieces at the seams...and if you click on the picture, you can see my pot of honey:)
