We Halloween partied all weekend. Our compound decided to do trick or treating on Thursday, due to the school carnival on Friday. We also had a company party Thursday and school parties. Here, there is a no holds barred approach to Halloween. The school is decorated in creepy fashion and there is even a hauted house at the carnival. We saw some awesome costumes. One of Cole's friends is the gangster, complete with fake gun in the small violin case. Our friend was Princess Lea and her children were star wars characters. One of the neighbors was a really cool Storm Trooper. One highlight again this year is the talking head. Somehow it knows all the kids names and carries on a conversation with each one. Bill dressed up with his afro and I was a gypsy. I substituted on Thursday and had so much fun with an adorable bunch of first graders. I got to lead my class in the costume parade around the track and through the school. The whole school turned out for the parade and cheered on the lower elementary, even the middle and high school. It was a fun weekend and believe me when I tell you that November is going to be this crazy and more. It is only 34 days til we head back home!
