Halloween – and the Pestilence
Saturday, October 30th, 2010Howdy folks!
Wade here letting everyone know that we’re having our first Halloween in Aussie land. We have some mixed messages about Halloween in these parts, not many decorations and the pumpkins are decidedly absent. However, we see some pictures of events and kids that are dressed and trick-or-treating. Not to be absent from one of the kids favorite nights, we’re holding a scavenger hunt that will guarantee candy to our tots – with an option (should the opportunity present itself) for the trick-or-treating. We’ll post some pics when we get there.
As to life in general, had my first phone interview for a teaching position on Friday. I don’t really see anyone more qualified, but we’ll see. Strangely enough they were concerned about an hour commute, weird.
Now on to that Pestilence thing in the title of the post. Apparently, the bugs here have been waiting, no….plotting… to get me for many years. Their trap is sprung, and my legs and arms look like I’m a plague victim. I’d post pictures, but I think the Australian Government might actually quarantine me. I have been assured that everyone goes through this, acclimation. I do not take much solace in this, and hope that I can catch up on my sleep.
Well, Good day Mate!
