Halloween in Costa Rica





Well, here in Costa Rica Halloween is not really a big deal...they are already well into the Christmas festivities and decor around here, but our kids did not really want to miss out so they got creative and made some great Halloween decorations to put around the house anyway. I had no idea they could be so original with toilet paper, string, a paper towel tube, etc...
Since they don't trick or treat here AND it fell on a Sunday, Lane and I decided to have a little activity that we called "scripture treating". Since we have 4 bedrooms, we came up with a theme for each room and had the kids go room to room where we had a short gospel related lesson and a treat. The best part was hearing Lora SCREAM FOR JOY when she saw that we actually had Reeses PB cups in the bowl!! (thank you thank you Aunt Cheryl and Uncle Shawn for sending a box of candy that arrived just in the nick of time!) The kids thought this was alot of fun and were happy that they didn't miss out on the "spirit" of Halloween! Actually they said it was the best Halloween ever. works for me!
