Okay…Halloween isn't a huge deal here in the land of Oz…not yet anyhow. We were told that the whole "trick-or-treating" thing wasn't introduced until a couple of years ago, and that some Aussies love it and others can't stand it. (it's a culture thing) Our house was one out of two on our street with any Halloween decorations on it, and a taxi driver asked Brandon if we liked spiders for some reason (I had put webs up on the second floor balcony). :/ Anyhow, our Canadian friends, whom we met and became friends with in Mexico, started the Halloween tradition of trick or treating on their street a few years back so we headed over there for the late afternoon. Adalyn chose to go as the beautiful blessed St. Kateri Tekakwitha (she learned about her in Kinder) and Emi was the cutest Minnie Mouse ever! They had a lot of fun going to the houses with our group! The girls drew on their pumpkins this year and Emi and I made pumpkin and ghost cookies while Adalyn was in school. Overall, it was a great first Halloween down under!
