Alex had a fun week of lots of candy and friends. She got a lot of use out of her Snow White Ballerina outfit. Last Sunday night she went to a Halloween party at someone's house. She got to search for candy around the house and eat it. They also had some games for the kids to play. Alex was too scared to hit the pinata with a baseball bat, but she had a lot of fun playing with her friends. Here are some pics from that party:
Then on Thursday the kids got to participate in a trick or treating parade around campus. They did it on Thursday because Friday was Creole Day for the Dominicans. The parade was at 1 o'clock and Alex was a little tired. Here are some pics from that event:
On Friday she wore her Creole Dress to school. I had been working on her to say "Bon Jour" to the Dominicans. She needed a little prodding to say it. She knows the word from a Fancy Nancy book she has. Then in the evening she went to a Halloween Party on campus. She had so much fun. She got to fish for candy and play a musical game with numbers. She played and played the games until she didn't even want the cupcakes or candy anymore when she would win. She didn't want to go home either. Here are some pics from that party:
Keith has his next major exam on Tuesday. He has been studying a lot so we hope he does well. We'll let you know. He feels pretty confident about it. Monday is Dominica's Independence Day so everything will be closed. There are a lot of parties going on this weekend for the Dominicans. This is also the weekend of the World Creole Festival! This is a huge festival and people fly here from all over the world to see it. The national holiday on Monday means that everything will be closed. Keith told me to get money out of the machine after the Halloween party. I went to one, and it was out of money. Thankfully I found some at another machine. Apparantly it is common for the credit card machines to stop working so we needed to have cash. Today our internet didn't work and our water was turned off. Maybe this has to do with the holiday weekend, I'm not sure.
