Stories from the Eagars

Well …. it’s over and done with now but we had a blast!  On actual Halloween night, we went round to Lu’s for the kids to go trick or treating.  Obviously this is our first halloween in Dubai and I swear I thought I was in a movie set!  When we drove to Lu’s, we passed HEAPS of kids out trick or treating all dressed up, passed a random witch out walking her dog… it was bizarre.  Do you know the scene from E.T where the kids are all dressed up.. well it WAS that scene!  Anyhow, we go to Lu’s and the older kids went off on their own and Tracey’s hubby took the smaller ones out!  Angie (another of our friends…american, obviously) looked FAB….she’d come as a witch and was completley green and STILL looked gorgeous!  The kids got loads of goodies and we headed home around 9.30pm.  The following night, we held a party at our house!  I was a bit panicky as I’ve never “hosted” a proper party in the house but it seemed to go well.  I made heaps of halloween food and everyone started to arrive from 7pm onwards.  We ended up with approx 40 people and everyone had a ball.  We got the PS2 set up in the family room with the projector and put on singstar…OMG, we couldn’t shut everyone up!  Andy made all the couples sing Elton John & Kiki Dee’s ‘Don’t go breaking my heart’ and we all thought we were FANTASTIC singers until we played it back and listened

The kids had an absolute ball, Lauren even wanted to have another party the following night!  We got the last of the die hard singstar goers out the door around 4am and did a quick scoot round shoving things in black bags then hit the sack!  Cam must have went to bed around 3am ish and didn’t surface until 2pm!!!!  And only then did he wake up coz Andy went into his room and woke him up!!!  Loads of people dressed up and my fave was my mate Lisa who came as Amy Winehouse complete with beehive wig, drawn on tattoos and a plastic syringe taped to her arm!  :-D
