Halloween

Each year the Embassy hosts a Halloween party for the kids, as it isn't widely celebrated here in Ukraine. They hold it in my office building, and many of the offices get really into the process of decorating. (I do not as my office door is very remote and hard to find, and each year I have been out with the kids - I used to leave the older, single lawyer who works with me in charge of candy distribution. He didn't wear a costume as we figured that a U.S. Federal Prosecutor is scary enough as is!)

Now that Miss S is old enough to understand candy, we actually seem to get something out of the holiday. Conversely, now she knows when certain older people start eating her candy. So this year we had the following:

1 Princess - check!1 Lady bug - check!

1 Lacrosse player - check!1 Good sport father wearing the ladybug antennae.1 set of sisters "sharing" the candy. Which meant that S let her sister touch the candy, but not eat it. (I am in thebackground with my devil outfit...)
