For the second year, we managed to have a blast on Halloween, despite being in a country where it is not really celebrated. Take a look at all of the fun that Norah and Kata had!
It started with costume day at Learning Tree Preschool. Norah is in costume number one for this: ballerina.

Big girls working hard at school. Notice that Kata thinks she is one of them.

Then, as the excitement began to build for trick-or-treating, Norah put together costume number two at home. In-promptu witch.

Party time! I helped organize a Halloween party/ Trick-or-treating session for the American community in Georgetown. We used the compound of five houses owned by the US Embassy to stage a real neighborhood-feeling trick-or-treating event! Here is costume number three: ballerina ladybug, and her trusty sidekick bumblebee.

Ballerina Ladybug can hardly contain her excitement...

...and Bumblebee actually forgot those things were on her head long enough for me to take a few pictures!

We played games like pin the bow tie on Mr. Bones!

Patrick chased Bumblebee and relaxed with friends.

Norah bobbed for apples (sort-of). She really waited until everyone had had a turn at which point I let her reach in and grab one with her hands. I don't think Ballerina Ladybugs like to get their faces wet.

Ghostly bowling!

Bumblebee really thinks someone is going to tell her she isn't allowed to do this...

The crew.

Off to trick-or-treat some more.

Dipping in to her stash. Happy Halloween!!!
