Halloween

One of the hardest parts of being away from home is missing out on the holidays that we love so much. We did our best to do Halloween and our neighbors were really supporitive and helpful, in fact they got this pumpkin for us. its hard to see b/c of the dark, but its a pretty big one. The rind/skin was a lot thicker than US pumpkins but a lot less guts inside so we cleaned in just a few minutes. We decided to go with a traditional face and this is what came out (the horns and knife in the picture are just a coincidence).


Some of the neighborhood kids stopped by for trick or treating. we had a ghost set in up the garage that would swing out at them when they came inside. This is a photo of that moment. It was pretty fun and they were all mad about it so it worked out perfect. The last photo is the main group of kids that came. I have no idea what most of them were supposed to be. The whole thing was odd though b/c they waited outside our house and kept asking if it was time yet. But I think most people enjoyed it overall and I heard people around town telling their friends so I guess they enjoyed it.
