HAPPY HALLOWEEN!! I love Halloween living on base! There are so many kids that come trick-or-treating--a far cry from the 4 kids that lived in our neighborhood! All of the neighbors just come sit on their porches with a big bowl of candy to hand out to the parade of kids. They also allow some of the Japanese locals come on to trick-or-treat. They come in costume and know how to say "TRICK-OR-TREAT" and "Thank You!" If you try to ask them anything else, like "what is your costume?", they smiled and said "Trick-or-treat."
I know that someday I will dress up and parade around with my infant in a cute costume, but does a child with no teeth deserve candy? Something to think about.
Last year I ran out of candy in 1 hour, so this year I was determined to have plenty to last the whole 2 hours! I don't know how many bags of candy we went through, but I didn't run out!! But, now I still have a couple bags leftover. Oh well, they will feed my patients at the clinic! :)
Shaun and I didn't have an opportunity to dress up this year. That's probably a good thing since my Pregnant Britney Spears costume wouldn't be as funny as it was last year! Well, now it's time to start thinking about Thanksgiving, which for us, will be celebrated on a plane to China! I'll post more later! :)
