Halloween


No Halloween costumes for the kids, because they're all so expensive! And anyway, J was very specific about wanting to be a green and blue banana, and I just didn't know where I was going to be able to get that.

My concession was getting them both Halloween-themed T-shirts. J has a 'Lil Wild Man t-shirt and E a little spider T-shirt. With no banana costume, J was very insistent about being in his special Halloween T-shirt today.

I don't really get Halloween, I guess. Kids walking around, dressed up all ghastly and ghoulish, knocking on neighbours' doors to beg for food. Ok, ok, beg for candy. Still, we put out a bucket of candy on our front steps. We didn't have enough though, so some trick-or-treaters had to walk away empty-handed, to the sound of J reassuring them, "Next time we will buy some more!"

On a separate note, it was beef rendang for dinner last night. Very good.
