Wednesday 20 October Tegan took her Brownie promise and is now a member of the 1st Ralston Girl Guides, previously she had been a Spark (the Canadian equivalent to Rainbows). Mums and dads were invited to go along and watch them say their promise. So Tegan now has a new t shirt, scarf and toggle to wear each week.
Halloween week
e
nd was a busy one. It started with the MFRC (Military Family Resource Centre) putting on a haunted supper so Tegan and Fraser got dressed up in their first set of costumes.Friday lunchtime Ralston school had a halloween parade in the gym where all the children could show off their ghoulish outfits.
That evening it was my turn to dre
ss up as it was John's birthday and Sam D had decided to throw him a party. Sam worked all day and turned their house into a haunted house of horrors, it looked amazing with coffins, grave stones and a smoke machine in the front garden. Inside there were cobwebs, spiders, dead people, limbs lying around and pots of 'blow your head off' chilli, even though one pots was supposedly mild! Everyone that came looked fantastic and it was eventually time to go home, the signal was Sam asleep whilst sitting on her dinning room chair.Saturday evening Tegan was invited to Holly's Halloween party - another outfit - and again had a great time playing games and eating things that were orange. Fraser and I tagged along much to Fraser's enjoyment.
Halloween night finally arrived. T
he weather in Ralston was dry but getting a little cold not that the children cared it was more about how fast you could run from one house to the next and hold on tight to your ever bulging bag of candy. People in Ralston had made a brilliant effort with many of the houses totally decorated. Chris managed to get home in time to walk round with us. The evening finished with visiting the fire engines that had come down from the base. So with all their loot Tegan and Fraser checked out what they had and I finally managed to get them into bed. Fraser wanted to know if he could do 'trick or treat' again the following night?
