We went to a Halloween party, well just one for the sproglets. I am gutted as I didn't think they celebrated it here as they don't in Australia, so I gave all my spooky stuff away before I moved. However, I am on a steep learning curve that New Zealand is not very much like Australia... as if the two try to do anything and everything to distance themselves from each other. The sproglets had fun, until it was time to leave.
We found Luke spread eagled on the floor behind the sofa, hiding from the girls who'd been playing kiss-chase with him. Poor mite... he was like a hunted deer! When I hauled him to his feet he burst into tears. Turns out that as he was hard to catch, the girls had taken to spitting at him instead! I mean URGH!!! I HATE SPITTING; I hate to see sportsmen do it along with the old men of the streets in the Middle East. In fact my friend's daughter used to make that horrible hocking noise in the back of her throat when she was just two years old and we found out she was copying the guys who tended the gardens on the compound. Huh, soon had that nipped in the bud, let me tell you!
Anyway, sufice to say I had words with all the children responsible before I left... and it wasn't even a party at our home. I hope we're invited back one day.

When you run so fast to get somewhere
you miss the fun
of getting there.
Life is not a race,
so take it slower,
hear the music before the music is over, take your time and stay happy...
