Halloween 2009

The rainy season hit Singapore hard this week. We've had hard core thunderstorms with lightning and massive amounts of rain the past few days. Halloween looked like it could be a complete washout but somehow the lightning and thunder remained just in the distance of our "Little America" on Halloween night. It was a great sidekick for the vampires and werewolves out but not the little ones who were a little scared. It did rain for a bit but not hard enough to keep the hard core trick-or-treaters (like Bailey) indoors.

We continued our tradition of inviting several families over for soups, cornbread and pies. Somehow the number of families about doubles on Halloween night though. We had over 20 people in our small living room at one point while 20 people were in the pool or the pool area.

Mike and Rich jumped off of the roof into the pool for an added surprise this year to the existing craziness. Bobbing for apples was especially fun as everyone seemed to really get into it this year with their whole bodies. We also had homemade root beer which was so yummy it will definitely be a new tradition for Hallow's Eve!

We also invited Marnelie's boyfriend over and got to meet him for the first time. He and Marnelie had a great time passing out the candy to all of our trick-or-treaters.

Yeehaw...it's cowgirl Bailey!!! And I had to get some shots of the kids sorting through their loot and making trades.



Yummylicious Luke Skywalker!

Carson was an awesome Yoda. He was totally in character as a 500 year old creature. He even had Mike bring him back a walking stick from Indonesia. This was an important part of his costume (to him). He also refused to use a light saber unless it was green.


Jack Sparrow and Obi One.


Sammy Cat - three years running!
