They love fireworks here. Serioulsy. It borders on obsession. At least once a week, there are fireworks going off outside my house. So to celebrate our friends dedicated months of service in South Asia, we set off some fireworks of our own. Below are the pictures of the memorable evening, which were made that much more eventful by a spontaneous tutorial which I like to call: "How to Tie a Turban." Enjoy.
Apparently, my pose was not as Charlie's Angels "esque" as Haley would have liked. That is why she is laughing at me. And look at Tricky D over there, still in character.
Trick D and I with our GIANT sparklers.
Lighting them!
The beginning of the turban-tying tutorial. Brandon actually has the end of the turban in his mouth. (And, yes, that's really how you're supposed to do it.) And good job Hales holding that mirror.

Our Halloween was pretty uneventful and consisted of Diana and I dressing up in our geekiest garb ever and taking pictures. Above, I am decked out in a denim skirt with tennis shoes (which you can't see), collared shirt with the pocket filled with pens and a highlighter. All of the books I am reading are pictured behind me and on the computer is an article about quantum physics. OH and I have those sweet glasses...with tape. 
This is D in her geeked out outfit. She has a little mixing of the patterns going on and some awesome socks with yellow moccasins. She, too, has those sweet glasses and she's getting ready for a day at school with her backpack and books handy. 
This is my gingerbread running man, even though he isn't technically gingerbread. He has a green headband and red running shoes.
This cookie needs no explanation except to say: War Eagle.
We were all glad that Diana had been born and we got to celebrate with her by going to an amazing Italian restaurant in our city. This is D with her birthday dessert.
This is the dessert that I got for myself in celebration of D's birthday. This picture was taken before it exploded all over my plate. It was pretty much the joy of my life for the 7 minutes that followed while I destroyed it.
D and me!
And, finally, D with her "Happy 24" sign. Forgive me for not posting these pics sooner. I'll try to be better in the future. Hope you enjoyed them!
