Halloween

We had an overdue Halloween celebration for the Daraja girls last night.  We set up several classroom as trick or treat stations, each with a game to earn their treat.  The celebration was planned last minute;  during lunchtime an announcement was made that there was to be a party that evening and to come in costume.  Despite having little time to plan or gather materials, these girls had some of the most creative costumes I have ever seen.  The highlight of the night was the cat walk show the girls participated in, in an attempt to earn the awards of: craziest costume, best use of non-clothing items, most original, and best cat walk.  Bennet and I laughed hysterically as the girls (many with part of their costume being enhanced body parts, e.g. a pregnant belly or rotund rump) danced up and down the dining hall aisle.  Good times!
