I would never have imagined that the Halloween with the largest deluge of candy would have happened when we lived in Japan. We went over to our friend's house and ate way too much tasty pulled pork and home made macaroni and cheese. We then all piled in our cars and drove to Ikego where we raided the town homes of all the people there for candy. By the time we got there, the people were pretty burned out and they were just handing us bags of candy. Our kids were in heaven. They were sprinting from house to house bewildered by the fact that candy was being given to them in such abundance.
Abby went as Dorothy, something she has been talking about for months now. Emma went as the good witch and Sara went as the bad witch. The boys were both Ninjas. The best costume definitely went to Dave Hayes (the ophthalmologist) who wore his sheep skin outfit he bought in Afghanistan. It was truly impressive. All in all, Halloween is an outstanding night of the year. Costumes, candy, and craziness. What could be better.
