Halloween was so much fun! My only regret is that I didn't dress up as Wonder Woman. When I was a little girl I always wanted to be Wonder Woman, and my parents always got me to pick something else because it was too cold (I'm sure it had as much to do with modesty). It was definitely warm enough here to dress up as skimpily as you could wish to, remembering that you normally get hit on while wearing army boots on the island.
The spouses organization threw a carnival the Saturday before Halloween. I've been attending Halloween carnivals since before I can remember. I've seen more than my fair share, and this was THE BEST ONE EVER. Combine amazing refreshments with adorable children who are happy to be there with lots of supportive help from spouses without children and students who wanted to pitch in, not to mention a variety of great children's activities and plenty of candy to go around... you get the picture! Then the kids got to trick-or-treat through campus, attending most of the classrooms and administrative offices during the last part of school Halloween day. Our church held a little get together Halloween evening that was also very well done, and it was fun to see the reactions of the local children who do not celebrate the holiday.
Overall I would say Halloween week was the best one on the island yet!
