Halloween Party

We have a Halloween lover in the house. It started mid-August with pleas to host a spooky party.


Then came the weeks of lists, floorplans, and big ideas. In final preparations, she sewed her own costume and proudly displayed it,


in all it's sundry incarnations.


Apparently her friends are all likewise spooky-minded.


So I did my best to come up with the right themed foods and decor in a country void of Halloween.


"Baby Mummies", for example.


She masterminded the games, prepared supplies, and orchestrated events. 


And the result? Not bad for a group of international kids who mostly don't celebrate Halloween.
Children are so accommodating.


And this guy helped clean up any leftovers.


Someone must have taught him the stem trick . . .


We'll likely be seeing these hard won homemade decorations again next year.
