Time Flies!

I can't believe I have been living here in Haiti for 75 days already!
They say time flies when you're having fun, right?
Even though I miss family and friends like crazy,
I am definitely having fun!




Lately it been getting chilly here at night.
(You have to understand that my version of chilly is 75 degrees,
which I know most of you would probably kill for right now!)
Anyway, since its anywhere from 90 degrees-100 degrees here during the day,
75 at night makes me want to wrap up in my comforter!




With fall comes Halloween, and we had the privilege of hosting
a Halloween party at our house!

I was a puppy dog...

And Ethan (his costume was way cooler than mine)
was Tony Stark from Iron man…

 

Here's everyone in their costumes…

I looked on line for some cute halloween decorations,
which turned out pretty good…


I made pumpkins…

out of paper, which we hung from the ceiling.

And bats…

   
       










out of egg cartons, which were dotted on the tables.

We took some of our fall decorations from other rooms…

My Mom and I put together crafts like black kitty cats that the
kids pieced together.

 



















[the picture above]  That's Azi being silly.


We also had to come up with games, so we cut out 55 little pumpkins
and had the kids look for them…

We also did a game called pin-the-face-on-the-pumpkin.
Its a game where you're blindfolded and given a piece of
a face (eyes, nose, mouth, or leaf), and spun around,
then you try to put the face in the right spot on the pumpkin...

Of course there was also trick-or-treating at the party…

And lots of candy…

Mom and I  baked cupcakes too…

We had lots of fun during the party!





The other day my dad got out the motorcycle (motosikle in Creole)
and he gave Ethan and I rides on it…

I had never ridden on a motorcycle before so I
really enjoyed it!




You know how I have that hermit crab?
Well he moved into a new shell that a visiting professor gave to me.
The shell is absolutely gorgeous, and it was very nice of him to give it to me.
As soon as the crab moved into the new shell, he tested it out then decided it was
too big, and moved into his old shell again.

Hope to see you next time!
