As you may imagine, Zack is crazy about Halloween. How could the spawn of two theater geeks fail to love a holiday that requires you to dress up and knock on the doors of perfect strangers to show off your costume and demand reward? Oh, wait, Gabey hates Halloween. Somehow two theater geeks spawned a child who can't stand any kind of attention and dislikes candy.
So here's our attention-hound decked out in his costume and our shy guy sitting quietly by.
Not shy.
Manning the Trunk-or-Treat
Trick-or-Treat!
We made our rounds on Sunday night at one of the expat compounds near the American club. The 25 houses are set up in a circle, so it was perfect for trick-or-treating. The whole compound really got into it. Most of the houses were decked out in decor; they even had a haunted house. Even the couples without kids dressed up and passed out candy. I think everyone loves a way to feel connected with traditions when holidays come around so far from home.
The gang of superheroes. We were well protected.
He did enjoy passing out candy. As you may have guessed, Gabey was supposed to be Batman. Daddy enjoyed being his sidekick anyway.
I spent a ridiculous amount of time trying to find a costume that wasn't designed for hookers. The model who wore this on amazon.com must have been a good 5" shorter than I am. It went to her knees, but I had to wear bike shorts under it.
The carnage!!
Another successful, fun-filled Halloween. Another massive bag full of candy pawned off on my housekeeper. Victory!!

I had to laugh at John being Robin and Gabey having nothing to do with it. Kids are funny Carolyn hated to sit on Santa's lap, Mike would only be a sports player/jersey. John - just in a hurry to get the treats who cares what he was, it was about the candy.
Dots? where were the butterfingers? So glad you had a fun evening, do they have pumpkins?
We had one sad little pumpkin. We carved it and Zack named her Daisy. There are pictures in that last super long catch up post.
