Halloween Party









Miyako and I had a big day today! First we went to her doctor's appointment for a 2 year check up. She is doing remarkably well. She is 82.5 cm. tall (32.4 inches) and 12.8 kilos (28 pounds). She is growing up so much. It is hard to believe she will be 2 next week!

The highlight of our day though was the Halloween Party we went to this afternoon! We are in a play group on Thursday afternoons with moms that live near us. A lady from this group organized a Halloween party today. Miyako dressed up as a bumble bee. She did not want to keep her hat on, but she still looked like a sweet little bee! We ate yummy snacks and made four different crafts. You should have seen me at the origami craft table...I did not do so good with that. The comforting thing was the Japanese mom next to me said she did not know how to do it either. :) The origami craft was actually pretty cool as it became a magnet for our fridge. We also made a balloon ghost, a cat mask, and a bat puppet. Our friend from church and her daughter also joined us. We will be out of town on the actual Halloween day so I am glad we got to dress Miyako up and do a fun little party today.

Kan's American parents arrive on Wednesday. We will have lots of blog posts of activities with them. We are looking forward to having more family here to visit.

The hat looks cute on you, Shari. You can think of it as having gotten two outfits for the price of one!
