Just when I thougth nothing else exciting would happen this week... Tonight was our advanced English Club - Hooked on English for Success! - and we carved 
pumpkins in honor of Halloween. I almost totally forgot I had English Club tonight. I have too much on my plate I don't know what is going on from one minute to the next. Anyway English Club was so much fun. We had some new people come that were in Dan's English Club last year but hadn't come to this one yet so that is always fun meeting new people. Everyone was totally into the carving of the pumpkins. They are super creative too. You would think they have been doing this all their lives. But this was most of their first times even knowing what this tradition is fro
m the United States let alone carving a pumpkin. We got some great shots of the whole process and a group photo with our pumpkins.

m the United States let alone carving a pumpkin. We got some great shots of the whole process and a group photo with our pumpkins. The best is the American trying to 
put the candle in the pumpkin! The top was too small for this huge candle that we were trying to maneuver into the pumpkin. Then someone decided to cut the candle up...great idea! The candle, unfortunately, dissipated to almost nothing with a wick so that was difficult. Then trying to light it from inside the pumpkin. We starting using paper as if we were out in the woods somewhere. We probably could have burned the school down. We are pretty sure these buildings aren't equipped with fire alarms in the ol USSR. However, after much determination we got it lit!
