Halloween
Our first Halloween in Myanmar! Some friends set up a fantastic trick and trunk or treat at the American club with five houses, nine vehicles, and one haunted house! It actually had the feeling of a small neighborhood trick or treat with the kids running all over from house to house!

Halloween 2015!!!
We had a week of fun activities to celebrate Halloween in South Africa! We couldn't find a pumpkin anywhere, but that didn't stop us, we carved a jack-o-melon!
Piper first drew the jack-o-melon's face, very carefully, with a lot of markers
The markers weren't just for the jack-o-melon!
Grace and Naledi helped scoop out the melon (which was delicious!)
And then we had an awesome jack-o-melon, and a ton of tasty watermelon to eat!
USAID (where Paul works) did a trick or treat for the kids. It was great fun! Each office decorated their space, some scarier than others, and the kids wandered around the building collecting massive quantities of sugar.
We found a Darth Vader to add to our Jedi team, but Yoda wasn't too thrilled with that.
Little piggy and the big, bad wolf
Who knew Jack Sparrow could make cotton candy?!
There were a couple neighborhood trick-or-treats organized among the American compounds, which was really fun for the kids. Our compound participated as well! Although, after two days of being Yoda, Piper decided she wanted to be a princess for her last trick-or-treat. Considering it was in the high 90's here, we were also happy not to have to put back on the Jedi costumes!
What a fun Halloween!!!

2014 Trip to the US - Country Bumpkin Farm
We couldn't leave Wisconsin without taking Piper to a pumpkin farm and corn maze! We were supposed to go all together with the whole family, but the weather didn't cooperate while everyone was around. So it was just me, Paul, and Piper, and it was a lot of fun!
Rubber Ducky races!
It's like looking in a mirror
This led to Piper completely wiping out at the bottom of the slide. It was a bit fast. But she wanted to do it again!
I think this is where Paul belongs!

2014 Trip to the US - A Cabin in the Woods
I mentioned how much I loved the cabin we rented, right? It had a loft space that was full of age appropriate toys. Enough to keep all the kids entertained and happy, ages 9 months to 6 years old!
Cousin Richie fighting sleep so he can play with his big cousins just a little bit longer!
Piper's favorite activity in her favorite seat!
There was even an exersaucer at the cabin that Richie had a lot of fun with
Look at that face! I just want to squeeze those cheeks!
Dog pile on the grandparents!
One rainy afternoon we decided to have some indoor fun and so we bought some pumpkins for carving. Kailey drew her jack-o-lantern face on her pumpkin for her mom to carve out, while Piper had fun just drawing on her pumpkin.
The Plevasides Bat Family!
Being so close to the Wisconsin Dells, we had to go! And we had to do it right. So a ride on the Wisconsin Ducks seemed fitting. Piper thought it was pretty cool to be in a car that was also a boat!
We also found a place for Piper to dig in the dirt and find rocks (one of her favorite things). The ambiance wasn't quite what I had imagined, being in the middle of a jewlery store with a very cranky person working there. But we bought a bucket of sand and Piper found a whole bag full of colorful rocks!
