Well, I can't say I wasn't disappointed. Australian's do not embrace Halloween as we do in America. They consider it a strictly American event and have no interest in joining in. OK, I get that. But, as Americans in Australia we missed it! Cami is the only one who attempted the door-to-door adventure for candy. Sam was just back from his week at school camp and Lucas, well, he's just too big for trick-or-treat now! Being good brothers to Cami, Sam and Lucas took her and her 2 friends out around the neighborhood where they met with mixed results. Oh well. We'll have no fewer than ten ORANGE pumpkins our first Halloween back in America and do it up right when we are home again. In the meanwhile, here's a picture of our pumpkin in Australia. It's really just a squash and was the biggest we could find. It cost us $10. That's $3.99 a kilo or a little over $2 per lb.
Turning to thoughts of Thanksgiving...which is, of course, a strictly American holiday, I found turkey's in the frozen food section in the grocery store; the least expensive one was about $73. I'm thinking shrimp on the barbie this year!
Cheers...

I love your Halloween squash! Good on Cami for getting out there. I remember missing Halloween terribly when I was living in NZ. It just makes it that much better when you return.
Hi Paula, Cami looks so pretty. Can you email me her email for Abs? ♥
