Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween 2012!

We celebrated by hosting the International School of Amsterdam (ISA) trick-or-treat event in our neighborhood in Amstelveen and turning our single car garage (think small, European single car) into a haunted house!

I dressed up as the Grim Reaper using my Dad's old costume and the kids helped me put a little fright into their classmates.  We had around 300 trick-or-treaters and ran out of candy by 7:15...so it was a successful night!  We hoped you enjoyed halloween as well.

I unfortunately had to make a trip back to the US for work meetings during the kids week-long October break from school.  With me out of the way...Jen and the kids packed their bags and headed to London.  Jen's best friend from high school Nikki now lives in London so it was a reunion as well.  I will try to talk Jen or one of the kids into elaborating more in this post, but for now are a couple pictures:
