The kids each came up with their own design for their pumpin and Wade helped them with the carving part. He is now suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome. ;)
Here is Lorin's pre-school class. There are only 2 Americans in her class, and Halloween is still a relatively new concept here in Europe, but these kids really got into the spirit of it!
Here's Lorin trying to do the "hula."
Marin struts her stuff at the school costume parade as Cinderella this year!
Ethan had his own creative costume idea this year. Bonus points for you if you can figure out who he is (if you're thinking Peter Pan, you are wrong!)

The kids and I organized trick-or-treating for our compound this year. I'd say it was hugely successful! Just check out the "loot" Ethan and his good friend, Matei, brought home!
Jonah picks out a few favorites first...he especially likes the American types.

I don't think there is any way she will eat all of that! Maybe I will have to help her out. ;)
Spooky.
Lorin LOVES trick-or-treating...she was literally RUNNING from house to house, just giddy with excitement! As soon as we got home, she immediately ate about 12 pieces of chocolate, then curled up in a ball on the floor and fell asleep.

Wade doesn't know I'm posting this one on the blog. Shhh! Don't tell. Here he is giving us his best "Tiny Tim" impersonation. Nice.
