Saturday was a party at Sparky's , India's version of an American diner. It was nice. The place what decorated, the staff was all dressed up, their were games for kids to play, food to eat, but the highlight was the "American" candy that was given. Carissa and Ryan were in heaven with tootsie rolls. Ben and I were excited about the jolly rancher candies. We had diner with our "new" but already good friends, The Pearce Family, Les, Karen, Joey, James, Alina and Anna. I think we all get along well because they are fellow Texans. There were many other American school families attending this dinner so it was Great fun for both the kids and adults.

The last of our Halloween hurrah was on Sunday. We went to the Halloween Brunch at the Taj hotel. This event was organized by some moms who wanted to do something fun for the kids.

There were many crafts to be made...Halloween mobiles, mosiacs, skeletons, bag decorating and wooden spoon witches. There was one game...guess how many pieces of candy corn in the jar. We all examined the jar and submitted our guess. During lunch the winner was announced......Drumroll....... Ryan! Our little guy was the closest to the actual number and the best thing was the prize... The whole jar of candy corn!!!!! I can honestly say I have never been a big fan of candy corn, but like the saying goes... You don't know what you have until it is gone. When the jar was placed on our table our other American friends had sad faces working so we shared.

The kids has great fun with the crafts and playing with friends. We had fun chatting with friends and making new ones.

The week was hectic and the weekend was crazy, but a GOOD time was had by all.
