KuWAIT for it...

“Life might be difficult for a while, but I would tough it out because living in a foreign country is one of those things that everyone should try at least once. My understanding was that it completed a person, sanding down the rough provincial edges and transforming you into a citizen of the world ... What I found appealing in life abroad was the inevitable sense of helplessness it would inspire. Equally exciting would be the work involved in overcoming that helplessness." - David Sedaris

Cantaloupe-a-lanterns

So pumpkins are like, stupid expensive here...(9KD = $29.73), so, my creative spouse came up with an alternative...

Would you have ever thought to carve cantaloupes??? Because I never would have!

The kids totally dug the idea, and they turned out pretty cute!

Kuwait is not real big on Halloween, and even the kids' British school doesn't really acknowledge it in any way, so it's not like our kids felt as though they were missing out in any way for not having pumpkins, but David wanted to do something to celebrate like we used to back home =)
