1.) It is Halloween and I love any excuse to dress up as something silly and go hang out with people.
2.) Despite the Honduran heat, our house feels like Fall after baking pumpkin sugar cookies all afternoon.
3.) I decided to put aside school work for the day and I actually had a very productive day making my costume, rearranging the kitchen, and just taking a well deserved break from thinking about school and students.
In Honduras, Halloween is not celebrated. In fact, Christmas decorations are popping up left and right because without Halloween or Thanksgiving to celebrate, Christmas is the next holiday Hondurans have to look forward to. The North American teachers are all getting together to have a costume party anyways and I'm interested to see how many looks we get walking down the street with our costumes on. I'm hoping that if we use our imaginations and pretend really hard, we can trick ourselves into thinking it is Fall and that it is chilly outside instead of just another hot day.
For those of you wondering, I am completely healed after our car accident and I was in school teaching all week long. It was so good to be back with my students after not seeing them for a few days. Again, I am so thankful for all of the prayers!
Well, I better go put the last few finishing touches on my costume and get ready to celebrate Autumn :) .....oh how I miss it!
