While grocery shopping the other day, we were certainly in the mood for Halloween as we came across some pumpkins that were imported from the US for carving. We didn't actually get to carve pumpkins last year because we weren't willing to pay the outrageous price for an imported pumpkin since Qatar cannot grow vegetables like that. This year, however, we were feeling generous and wanted to make sure our kids grow up with traditions from their culture. So we decided to buy the smallest pumpkin at the store, and $49 later, came home with our prized family pumpkin!
The girls then got in to the Halloween spirit by using face paint. We didn't have orange, so Kaelia turned herself into a red pumpkin, and Taelyn wrote Happy Halloween up her arm. Then they invited our next door neighbors, Keira and Ewan, over to partake in the carving, and all four kids dug right in. They had a great time coming up with ideas for the carving, taking out all the guts, and roasting pumpkin seeds. I guess sometimes you can't really put a price on culture and traditions.
