Happy Halloween!

Today Halloween came a little early. Since the school has a break next week there isn’t class on the real day of Halloween so the kids celebrated early. Today the kids wore their costumes and had a party and a singing program at the school.

Atticus had lots of fun dressing up. We went Old School with the costume and did a classic white ghost. It was nice to be able to use the tried-and-true sheet with eye holes cut out for a costume and have none of the concern we would have in the US that he was going to be mistaken for a Klansmen. Fortunately, his head is pretty wide and round too, so we were able to have a nice, easy to make costume without any terrible social implications.

Anyhow, the kids had fun and even though the whole event was pretty chaotic, we think it was nice for Atticus to have a familiar cultural moment.

Now Atticus has a week off school and we’ll be taking a train to Srimangal tomorrow –an area with lots of tea plantations, pineapple farms, some old friends of Sam’s and hopefully, a little rest from the hectic city life. Expect a lot of photos…

Here are some pictures of the fun times. Not exactly shots of Bangladesh specific things, we know, but it will get you all in the mood for your Halloween next week!
