Halloween...

...wasn't. They do not really have it here. Katie went to a birthday party in the evening, and they went on a walk to the "scary" graveyard. But that is it. few, if any pumpkins, and trick or treating is not on. That last one is good, b/c I did not eat 5 pounds of candy this year. The worst part? It made the kids homesick to a greater degree than I had anticipated. I guess we al like our traditions, and Halloween is one.
