catch up

sooo I am really behind in our pictures so here is our catch up
First awhile ago we had a fun school day making slime it did fun stuff such as changed color in sunlight, glowed in the dark. The kids thought is was great. I wondered what had become of my girly girls as they enthusiastically played with slimy slime.... Ah well its fun and they loved it.







Halloween this year. It lasted forever. We went to so many things for Halloween it seemed. Of course this was good since Niyah hadn't really decided what she wanted to be and able to wear several different costumes.



We were invited to the English schools Halloween party also. The girls had fun with their Japanese friends again.

Niyah's preschool group had a Halloween party. It was my week to have them at my house so it was fun and Harley was able to participate. She enjoys that she acts like my little mini teacher with the girls



and of course we had the real Halloween.....



Can you say TOO MUCH CANDY. Sugar sugar everywhere. Thankfully the Halloween fairy came :) For those of you who don't honor the tradition of the Halloween fairy that is really to bad. The Halloween fairy is closely related to the tooth fairy, if the child chooses to leave out a good portion of their candy (picking out their favorites to keep of course) the Halloween fairy then takes the candy and leaves in its place a great prize. (this year a new movie for each child) This year we let the girls choose to keep the candy or give it to the fairy. They chose the fairy (thankfully) Still with just picking out "favorites" they had plenty of candy to last a couple of weeks. The only rule is they must have a bigger pile for the fairy then for themselves. and noo the fairy didn't eat the candy so there :)

I still have more to catch up on. Oh well I'm tired more another time.

Me too!

Great idea with the fairy!
So did you see my post on the Taiokoproject. It was fun to go and learn a little bit about where Harley and her family live! Kaitlynd really loved it.
Also, I started a Karate class. Not that interesting but...the Karate form is based out of Japan. It is fun to notice little things like that all around us that remind us of you guys!

We took their candy in exchange for a baby doll each.
