Trick or treat


What a duo. Superman and Clark Kent.

Singapore doesn't celebrate Halloween. But there is a neighborhood right by the American school that does. Jack o lanterns, spider web decorations and all. So that's where we headed to do our trick or treating.






There were a few curiosities in the trick or treating bucket when we got home. Jell0 in a cup, lots of hello kitty marshmallows and Durian flavored candy. Durian is a huge stinky fruit only found in south east asia. But its so stinky its banned on the MRT (the subway), in taxis and in restaurants. Noah was brave, tasted it, then spit it right into the trash.

Dave went dressed as Jim Halpert dressed as facebook. Isn't he cute?












But back to Halloween.

A few streets get blocked off for the trick or treating. And thousands of people show up. Yep, thousands. Americans, Singaporeans, Australians, people that aren't even dressed up. Our friends said they gave away 3,000 pieces of candy. It's insane.

And crazy.

But oh so festive.

That looks so fun - and what a great idea for Clark Kent and Superman!

I swear that all the shots I have seen make Singapore seem like the most beautiful place ever!!!

Love you guys!

haha! The house that the jello came from probably ran out of candy so they started digging through their cupboards. :) Have you priced that stuff? It's like $18 for a package!! That's probably the most expensive Halloween treat in history.

Your boys are so cute! I'm glad you had a fun Halloween.
