We Make Do With What We Have
We love Halloween, and no, I'm not going to apologize for that.
Halloween, as you can imagine, is difficult to get excited about in China. The weather is here to make us feel like watching football and drinking cider, but no one here watches football, or drinks cider, or goes trick or treating. We made do with what we had. Chyloe bought a pumpkin at the foreign grocery story. Since we had 1 pumpkin and 2 kids of pumpkin carving age we made a 2 faced pumpkin. We baked the seeds and watched Charlie Brown's Great Pumpkin movie. We also made Halloween sugar cookies.
It just so happened that one day we saw a parade of people in Halloween costumes at our neighborhood. They were handing out flyers advertising a local kindergarten, a bit disappointing, they didn't even give us candy. However, as you can see from the pictures, we did OK with what we had.
