U.S. candy vs. Argentine candy = CLEAR U.S. VICTORY. There is an Argentine candy called "sugar" and one called "sugar MAX". The good thing about halloween in Argentina is Candace and I will NOT be stealing much of our kids' candy. We had a neighborhood halloween schedule from 4-7 pm on Sunday. We went out at 5:15 and a few of the houses were already out of candy. Another family we saw had a bowl on their stroller giving out candy (or trading it) to people they passed on the street (the family was Argentine). It was weird. Novices. So tomorrow is actually halloween, but we're all done.
Claire had a school halloween party on Friday morning.
My work had the halloween party on Friday afternoon.
School had "International Day" fair on Saturday morning.
Expat trick-or treating on Sunday night.
Private neighborhood (not ours) trick-or-treating Sunday night.
Sam has a school halloween party on Monday.
We would be much better off if the Argentine candy was worth its weight in sugar... which it isn't.
The other night, Candace and I stayed up until 2 am watching several episodes of Season 1 of Alias. While Netflix lost a ton of customers due to the raised rates for streaming... we are still happy customers since we can't stream to Argentina anyway.
The weather is getting warmer and the humidity is being felt.
Caroline and Claire are really good friends.
Claire speaks Spanish randomly and we are always surprised at how well she does.
Sam is going to be a big kid.
We have enough (American) candy to stop a truck around here. Anything you're particularly craving? The Halloween Witch visits here in early November to buy back candy from the kids and then she doesn't know what to do with it . . . An APO might be a great place for her to send it. :)
ReplyDeletecandy...oh my! In about 24 hours, I'll have more than we could ever eat...EVER! I have to say, I am so jealous of your warming up weather. Ours is cooling down way too fast :(
