Halloween party in the school!
In celebration of Halloween, since I was stuck in my campo house, I decided to make the best of it and do a little cultural exchange with my students.
I made a poster with information about our Halloween traditions (aka: carving pumpkins, scarecrows, black cats, costumes, trick-or-treating, etc.)
Yay! Balloons..
Then we bobbed for apples…
Freezing dirty water...quick put your face in it!
Whoops...forgot to take the sticker off that one...
Played a version of pin the tail on the donkey but with pumpkins…
And everyone got candy…
Then we decorated the orange balloons like pumpkins…
Give me a face!
Pumpkinheads!
Happy Halloween to me!
In honor of Halloween I spent the weekend visiting a fellow volunteer (Adrianne). We watched scary movies, made caramel popcorn, and had a low-key few days to celebrate. Just what the doctor ordered to get me ready for a busy November!
Also, got some Happy Halloween wishes from home too…
Card #1: Cute kitty holding a pumpkin from my Grandma...
Card #2: Old, ugly pumpkin card (and pressed leaves for a little bit of fall from home) from my friend Allison (caption reads "Jack was never the same after the operation")
Card #3: A sweet message from my friend Amy...nice to know this is the card my bestie meant when she said "I saw this and thought of you, Lindsey!"
