Happy Halloween!

My blogging skills are... well let's be honest.. pretty much non existent. But I should get an A (or maybe a C) for trying.  So here we go!

In Taiwan Halloween is not an official holiday. But almost all the English schools have some sort of celebration. And since about 90% of the children here go to English schools they might find it easier to make it a holiday. Our job was to put together a Halloween Celebration for Friday. We had about 25+  kids come for a Halloween activity that afternoon. We made a haunted house and planned some other fun activities.

We started off the day with a costume contest. Here are some of the children in their costumes.... you can see why we had some trouble trying to judge the contest....

These kids are just so cute. They came with the most random costumes on and we honestly could not figure out what some of them were. But they were so excited.

These are two of my Pre-K girls. Mina the bee and Ula the princess. They had the cutest costumes. I was a pirate and Bree was Cat in the Hat. Phil and Mandy were Mickey and Minnie Mouse. All in all we had a CRAZY but fun day. You try handling all those children..... in one room... by yourself. Insane. Phil and Mandy would take two or three kids at a time through the haunted house while I watched the rest of them. Did I mention I had to face paint too? This is where some of my preschool skills came in handy (sort of).

It was a crazy day to say the least. After all our afternoon children left then we had evening classes. Not as many children dressed up but when we took them through the haunted house Bree snapped some pretty sweet pictures of them.

classic aren't they? It's at the very end of the haunted house where we fixed a plastic knife to fall from the ceiling. So fun. All in all it was a great Halloween and successful I might add.
