So at school we have been celebrating Halloween! I did a whole day of lessons at one school for Halloween. I didn't know I knew that much about HallAween! Well for my lesson we talked about the traditions of Halloween and then we did a role play on Trick O Treating, listened to scary music along with Michael Jackson's Thriller, and did a Halloween word search! (Funny thing- when listening to Ghost busters and Thriller- the students knew what these songs were and have seen the movie- I was shocked! We even danced a little to Thriller!)

My HallAween costume- I am everything I like about Japan, My favorite hat, scarf, dog Rexi (being the eeeeee? dog), my favorite question marker-hirigana /ka/, and I was dressed like my favorite Japanese homeless people who live under the bridge I go by when I travel up to Angela's house.)

We are so scary! Annie and Me at our own HallAween Party- can you say Kohi, scrabble, and sleepovers!

At church this weekend we had a Music Outreach. We sang sweet music and had a drama. Me and Annie were a part of this Drama! It was such a great night- we had sweet music and so many people! God was moving and changing lives! (so please do not watch unless you are my mother).

After church we watched "Horton who hears a who!" and ate pizza- what a great combo!

Sunday we woke early to go to the English Speech Contest! It was so good-two of my students placed and one is moving on to Nationals! I was so proud of all of them! Then came the good part- The CHILI PARTY~ what a great celebration of a great American tradition- chili, cornbread ( smothered in honey and set out for the soaking), pre-party treats, and pumpkin cheese cake- ok it was the celebration of everything that we haven't eaten in a while! 

Here we are just slobbering over all the food! HALLA it was so great!

My idea for pre party treats! Definitely had ugly ones but they tasted sweet~

The FAM~ Joe (dad- the only boy), Angela (Mom- in the maroon sweater), then Annie & Me (the kids). Ok we are all really friends but it feels like a family so much! We were just loved through cooking by our mom- Angela with great chili and encouraged to eat by our dad-Joe, and were brought to a new level of crazy by us kids! We had such a blast~

Well here we are straining what our mothers gave us- hehe it was so great! But today I am somewhat sore by this strain! We took around 8 pictures! I believe we were crying after this- out of pure ridiculousness!

Next we played pass the pigs, and speed scrabble!  These games were twice as fun once we added vomit, baby wipe, skunk spray flavored jelly beans. These flavors were very pungent and since we didn't know what each flavor would be, since for every bad flavored bean there was a similarly colored good tasting bean, it made our competitive nature arise! I did taste all the gross ones and they were definitely horrible! 

This weekend was so fun! I am so glad to have this family!

Remember: When you are asked to eat the second helping of chili say no~ what you do not know is the outcome of this choice!
