Friday Fun

 Jack had Green and Yellow day at school yesterday. We came up with a great outfit for him :o)

 On Fridays we have been meeting a few friends at the park for playtime after school.

 Max loved turning the jump rope.

 A strange sight in the park. A man doing a photo shoot with a stuffed angry-bird. He had about four different locations and was around for at least 20 min. It was strange!

I  got to finish the day by going to the movies with a few friends. It was so much fun!

Happy weekend!!!

Please try to ignore the sound of the pool announcement in the background :o) Max and I were waiting for Jack and Dad to come out of the changing room and he was in a singing mood so I took the video.

Wetland park field trip

 Last Wednesday our moms group headed out to the "boonies" of Hong Kong to the wetland park. I am glad we hired a bus, because it was OUT THERE! It would have taken awhile by public transport!

These wonderful ladies are a huge part of the reason why we love living here.... How wonderful to have such a big community of stay at home moms to do life with! The "big" kids were all happy to skip a day of school to go :o)

 Mud Skippers

 I love these boys!!!

Mid-Autumn Festival

Its a four day weekend here... Mid-Autumn Festival is today and tomorrow it Chinese National Day... Mid-Autumn is a lunar holiday and National Day is always Oct. 1st, so they aren't always at the same time. We are enjoying the break from school and the time to spend as a family. Last night we went a lantern festival in a nearby park with our friends. So fun!

 We bought plane and car lanterns for the boys... they had a blast taking them around.

 

Max kept saying, " I want it, I want it..." about the big colorful animal lanterns :o)

And no Mid-Autumn would be complete without a moon cake. This was actually a good one, green tea flavored. You can read last years post about moon cakes here.

The decorations are always so nice from this time of year... lanterns everywhere...

a week in photos..

Dim Sum with my boys!

 Bryan ran a 10K on Sunday morning. It was a hot humid day, but he did great!

 

We had fun watching all the runners finish.
