Halloween 2013

Here it is November and I'm just now writing about Halloween.    I have a good excuse though.  My internet was down and it was just fixed by Elder Bendio.   So, I'm back in business now.

We had a nice Halloween day at the office.  I bought lots of candy for the missionaries to eat all week long.  In the afternoon, Sister Patrick, President's wife, called and asked if we were going to be in the office around 4:00.  I said that we would be there.  She then said, "Don't tell anyone there, but the kids really want to come and show YOU their costumes."  Of course I was so happy to see them.  I was so glad they wanted to come up and show off a little in front of me.  

 Dan loves everything Harry Potter and I think he made a great Draco.

      Emily was a beautiful little Rapunzel.  She danced up and down the hallway she was so happy.

                                                        Here's Clifford the Big Red Dog.

                                              And we have a very happy Sherlock Holmes.    

The amazing thing is that Sister Patrick made all of the costumes herself. I think she did an awesome job.  She said that it is their tradition for her to make the kids costumes every year.  This year they used old costumes, but no one here in Canada has ever seen them so all was well.

 Here she is in her Halloween sweater.  I remember that I always had Halloween clothes to wear in October when I was teaching school.  I also have Thanksgiving clothes and Christmas clothes.  It's a lot of fun to wear " appropriate for the month clothes" when you're teaching little kids and they always love it.  I really did love teaching.  It was never a chore for me, but always a pleasure.
