I’ve never been real keen on the idea of Halloween….except that I love the whole costume and candy part.
Around the first part of October, we received an email from the Embassy warden, who is basically an American in our area of Kenya assigned to keep other ex-pat Americans up-to-speed on security announcements and other general information.
This was a different kind of announcement though! A flyer about a community picnic/trick-or-treat party put on by the American Chamber of Commerce. I have been excited about the prospect of a costume party since hearing about it.
We got the kids all costumed up, Eli a lady bug and Lucy a fairy. Not bad for Africa:
The trick-or-treating ended up being kind of a trick because there really wasn't much candy
Her face paint started out pretty....

Cindy that was actually Ian (me)replying to your beard comment not Anne. Be mad at me…not her. Only joking about you being an insect that needs to be exterminated…just a little protective of the beard. Someone’s got to stand up for it afterall since it can’t speak for itself.

Sorry Ian, it just reminds of an episode of an old movie from the 60’s with a bunch beach bums and there was this professor who had a beard like that. No more funnin’ on the beard.
Besides Anne had no clue what I was talking about she was so confused.
