Visiting Seon Nov. 1st and 11th

Leilani got to see Seon twice in just over a week. They are leaving for 3 weeks to Australia.

Seon and his little brother Hyuen

Car races down the slide

Both love books.

Magic kid trick… instant sleep

Halloween – Coyote Point Museum

We went to the Coyote Point Museum’s Halloween Party – Leilani was dressed up in a princess costume from her dress-up box.

She made a flower bouquet and then took a lot of photos of the individual flowers.

Later, at the animal show she sat quietly with her hand raised (as opposed to yelling “Me, Me, Me!!!!”) and really got picked to have the ferret run in a tube that was wrapped around her.

Later we went into a room with science experiments – make scary sounds, and Leilani had great fun

Dry ice… also makes sounds if you put a tuning fork in….

Halloween – Grounded

In spite of several warnings Leilani misbehaved so badly on Halloween that she was not allowed to go Trick-or-Treating. She concluded that handing out candy was just as much fun, so the punishment was not as harsh as it sounds (and remember, she can’t eat most of the loot anyway)

Leilani stood out on the sidewalk yelling and advertising to people that we had candy, trying to make them change streetsides…

Andy carved a pumpkin:

We had 2 bowls of candy “good” (organic or at least all natural) and “bad” candy (still the better things from the supermarket, but stuff we would not eat ourselves). At first we gave the kids the choice: “Good” or “Bad” – almost all chose “good”, but later when the “good” bowl was getting empty we switched – the choices now were “healthy and organic” and “regular” – that emptied the other bowl – now upgraded from bad to regular – really fast.

Also done that day… all alone
