We just had a fun night of Trick-or-Treating. The kids were so cute. Wyatt was a skater dude (of course), Emma surprised me by wanting to dress-up like a basketball player, Sophie was a lovely gypsy, and Cale was an adorable Dalmatian puppy. I will post pictures on the blog.
We are smaller in size right now (unless we eat all of this candy…). Two of our dorm kids left this week to go back with their parents who are now in town. That will be strange to have them gone. We also had the Fun Fair here at school on Friday and each grade was in charge of two booths. Garth helped Emma in hers-Tightrope walking, and I helped Sophie with hers- Catapult. Wyatt did a great job in the face painting booth. Cale’s favorite booth was called Haystack and it was piles of cut up newspaper with candy underneath that the kids would dig for. He was excited every time he found a piece. Tomorrow is our Thanksgiving celebration with the mission group we are here with-MAF. That will be a bit different, but fun. No turkey, but we will have rolls, and mashed potatoes etc.
The girls started ballet this week and fell in love. They are so excited about learning how to do “real ballet”. Sophie wanted to wear her tutu to school to make sure she would be to class on time.
An unfortunate event also happened this week. The stereo was stolen out of the Hostel bus during the night on Sunday while we were sleeping. Since then the school has hired a new security guard who is in charge of sitting at the gates to unlock and lock them. That way he is only letting in the people who should be in. This new system should alleviate such problems from happening again.
Time for bed for me. Still waitin’ on those kittens. Any day now Gypsy…
Love
Rachel
