Happy Halloween!

Halloween in the city is quite an experience! Tonight on my way home there were lots of people in costume going out and about. I saw Fred and Wilma Flintstone and Hannibal Lecter among many others. There is a huge Halloween parade in Greenwich Village each year, but I didn't venture down that way tonight.

Tonight after school, I talked with Mzee on the phone. He was so excited because one of the preschoolers at daycare dressed up like A FIREFIGHTER!! I told him that maybe next year he could be a firefighter.

Mzee dressed up as a Husker football player and got to go trick or treating with the kids at Milan's daycare. Milan dressed up as a tiger, but it was too cold for her to do much trick or treating. Then after trick or treating Mzee got to hand out candy. He requested that he do it himself. Don tells me that he would stand by the door and open it before the kids could ring the bell. He told each of them, "don't ring the bell, or Lucy will bark."


I also got a call from Mzee tonight asking me how to say goodbye in Spanish. He knows "hola" means hello, but wanted to know how you say goodbye. So we practiced saying "Adios."

I sure do miss the kids, but it sounds like they had a great Halloween!

We are still waiting for word on which house we might be able to rent. Hopefully there will be news on that front tomorrow!
