An Nassim Halloween

Trick or Treaters...ready to start knocking on doors. 
We all met up by the pool entrance and took pictures before heading off to trick or treat around the compound. After getting loads of candy and prizes there was a party for the kids in the rec center. It was a dance with decorations, pizza, and goodies.  The kids has a great time.

Abaya Baby

We went for a short trip up the road to Jubail with our neighbors, the Johnsons.  Here is a picture of me in my abaya, Pam foot loose and fancy free with one, and Abraham.  We had a pcinic on the grassy area by the corniche then played a mini baseball game.  There were only 8 people total so it had to be mini size game.  Pam Johnson is my first grade teaching partner and Triniti's teacher.  Pam &Vargie and their son Luka are from New Zealand.   Vargie is the librarian for all 3 schools on our campus.  The LRC, Learning Resource Center, is an amazingly well stocked, current place.  I was blown away at the selection of titles and resources available to us here.  The Johnsons have been here for a very long time.  All three of there boys were born here. (the oldest two are in college and Luka is in 9th grade at the high school.
