Fall is here in Nanjing. It was hot and humid one day and we woke up shivering under our little sheet the next!
Halloween came up on us a lot like the weather did. It wasn't on our minds as much since no one really celebrates--although there
are some Halloween decorations for sale in the bigger grocery stores.
We very much missed the friends, family, food, and atmosphere of the beginning of fall, but we tried our best to feel some of it here. :)
 |
| We had TWO cute little pumpkins. This beauty (on the right) was in the produce section at the grocery store and I couldn't resist. |
 |
| Cooked pumpkin! Have I mentioned that there is literally no canned food here? My cooking with a Chinese crockpot skills have had to get better (or at least my attempts are more frequent)! |
 |
| Mister and I had this pumpkin bread on our date night in. Since chocolate chips are $6 a bag, we settled for some hot chocolate and played "Halloween Scrabble"--pretty much impossible. :) We also watched Hocus Pocus on Youtube. Can you believe he had never seen it?? |
To top our October festivities off, our friends got together for a little Halloween party. Maybe not up to US standards, but I was pretty impressed!
We had food:
 |
| mummy cupcakes |
 |
| finger cookies |
 |
| no bake spiders |
 |
| eyeballs |
We had fun:
 |
| Can you guess what we are?? |
 |
| The babies are something sweet. mmm! |
 |
| What a great group! |
 |
| Miss A fell over trying to walk--that's what a big marshmallow she was! |
