Oh my goodness! It's been too long since I've updated you about our crazy lives! |
| Erich was out of town for a week. We kept track of how many more nights he would be gone by coloring in one moon every morning. |
 |
| A Halloween morning wouldn't be complete without an orange pumpkin pancake! |
Australians don't celebrate Halloween like Americans do. Most kids don't trick or treat and there is no party at school. The U.S. Embassy had a Halloween party and it was great! A special shout out to Mars and Skittles candy company for donating a ton of candy to the Embassy for the party.

| At the Embassy Halloween Party. May I present Cowboy Charlie and Princess Chaney. (Yes, you see Captain America in the background. He's legit.) |
 |
| Always glad to see Old Glory waving in the Australian wind! -at the U.S. Embassy 
They had a mummy wrap with toilet paper. Chaney did a great job wrapping up Charlie.
 
The kids got to meet the U.S. Ambassador to Australia and his
partner. They are in front of the entrance to the Ambassador's residence.
They are the only ones that live on the Embassy grounds.

After the Embassy party we went back to our house and went trick or treating with our neighborhood friends. Our neighbors passed out notes to the neighborhood with balloons and ribbon. The notes explained that if they wanted to participate with the trick or treating, they were to put the balloons on their door. About every 5th house had a balloon out! (but no one else had pumpkins!)
 |
| In front of our house before trick or treating. (It is not your imagination. Chaney changed costumes.) |
The weekend before Halloween, we carved one pumpkin. Usually we do more than one but there was a shortage of pumpkins around town (they aren't in season here) and this one was $16.

Trick or Treat!!
