Halloween, poolside and The Beach

So its been a busy week or so, even more so than usual. And well this entry seems really strange ... been sitting in drafts for the past almost 2 weeks because of our connection being so terrible I haven't been able to upload any photos :grrr:

Last weekend we celebrated Halloween on the compound. Kids Halloween party on the Friday afternoon, this was the girls dressed up and then getting their faces painted at the party. Andrè and Larry had gone across to Bahrain for Andrè to ref. They arrived back just in time for Andrè to go trick or treating with the girls.

And trick-or-treating done, time for lights out and bed, school in the morning !

This weekend we spent some time by the pool - as you can see the weather has definitely cooled down. The wind was more a problem than anything else - the sun just didn't seem to have any power.

Andrè, Larry and I then headed out to the consulate for a Happy Hour Thursday night. A good evening had by all :)

Friday up bright and earlyish (got in at 1-ish and left the house by 8:30am) and off to the beach. Great morning, one of Aimee's friends from school was there as well so the girls kept themselves busy while I got some work done and we all relaxed a bit.
Back home and just about everyone had their afternoon nap :)

mmmm this may seem to be a photo of Larry enjoying the beach but in reality it was Andre enjoying the sights at the beach - look a little closer and you'll see what he was enjoying seeing :)

Of course a wonderful day had by all and everyone - especially the girls were rather pooped by the time we left :)
