Entry #16 Halloween in Kuwait

Another Halloween has come and gone. This year was a little different but a lot of fun nonetheless. Zoe was able to wear her princess costume to school on Wednesday and was very excited about that. And surprise, surprise she was not the only princess in her class. Isaac was a cowboy for about 15 minutes and we were able to get some pictures. He wanted nothing to do with the cowboy hat so we put his Tilly hat on him so he looked like an Australian cowboy.

On Friday we went to a friends house for a pumpkin carving party and then on to trick or treat at some of the teacher buildings. Trick or treating in an apartment building is definitely a good workout and makes you feel less guilty about eating your child's Halloween candy. As you can see from the pictures the pumpkins are a little different. This really isn't a cultural thing but more about cost. The traditional orange pumpkin will set one back at least $50.00, if not more. So we bought Iranian pumpkins for about $2.00 and I think they look great.

I will have to do the pictures in two blogs. I hope you enjoy!

Happy Halloween!
