Yesterday was the worst post ever - i hate it. So i changed its title to the worst post ever - nuff said.
Anyway, today you get to see the worlds' cutest Egyptian.

special thanks to Uncle Jordan and Aunt Anne for the costume direct from Cairo; to Granny and Boppy for fast shipping and to Jeff, Kathryn, Aidan and Mia for delivery.

Halloween is celebrated here with the PTO's biggest fundraiser, the Halloween Frolic. It is essentially a carnival, lots of inflatable rides, slides, candy and a tonne of hyper kids whacked-out on sugar. The major difference from home is all the white clad nannies chasing around the kids while their parents chat on thier cell phones. Yeah it is a stereotype but there was lots of it going on. Oliver unsurprisingly was amazing, he did appear a little shellshocked for much of the evening but when i reflected on the evening i realized this was more people (far far more) then he had ever before seen, or knew existed on this planet. He likely thought there was Mommy, Daddy, Myra, family and some people who come over now and then...all of a sudden...he sees that the world is a bigger place. No tears and he absorbed it all, he fell asleep before his head hit the pack and play. (right: what is he thinking?)
He woke up as cute as he had gone to bed (below), still wearing his costume. In a press release he stated, "halloween is good, i approve and we will continue to celebrate this holiday."
