Not Halloween


Ok, so we don't celebrate Halloween over here but everyone else is sending around cute photos of their kids in costume, so I'll post this one of the boys as pirates. Those teeth on Ben just crack me up every time I look at them!

There was a little girl at Toby's school who told he had yellow teeth. Apparently he hadn't been brushing his teeth very well. So, we got him cleaned up and sent him to school with the yellow pirate teeth. He grinned at her with those awful teeth and asked "Are my teeth still yellow?" It was hillarious. Anyway, enjoy the photo of the pirates with their foam swords.

By the way, we don't celebrate Halloween here because people don't find the idea of pirates, ghosts, vampires, or witches funny. And they aren't, when you look at the circumstances here. People here still are quite fearful of witchcraft, and people do put curses on one another. It is not uncommon. Bandits and thieves beat people up and rob them regularly, and the spooky creatures of the night are not a joke. So, the skull and crossbones will not be flying on our house because people would believe we were advertising for performing evil magic!

aww they should've gone trick-or-treating to some of the missionary's houses :) us and the woodrow kids (minus Kent) dressed up and went to the Roger's and LePoidevin's place to trick-or-treat. It was so much fun! we wanted to go to other houses, but no one wanted to drive us :P haha! and it was like 9:30pm :)

The boys are very cute! Great costumes!
