Halloween

We had so many super fun Halloween activities.

 My dear friend, Erin, hosted a Halloween Bunk ladies night at her house.  My friends Christa and Nancy dressed up like me and my friend Angie!  It was hilarious.  

 Monogrammed shirts with my and Angie's monogram :-)

 The board: Burpees, Squats, Sprints, and Tire Flipping.  They even had Costa Coffee cups, the coffee house at our gym where we have coffee after work-out everyday.  

I am not sure I have ever laughed as hard as I did that night.  Good times!

Scary face girls

 They are not allowed to wear costumes to school, so I got maybe one of the last matching smocked dress photos opportunities in the Fall Festival decorations at school.



 I am the co-room mom for both (!) of the girls' classes.  One of our biggest responsibilities is making a craft with the class and then setting up the class tents for the Fall Festival.  Here is Olivia's class' tent.

Eliza's

 After school, we go home, have a snack and change into costumes for the Fall Festival.  

 Pink Mermaid and Southern Belle

 So excited!



 She was so proud of her costume and was thrilled to show her friends


 
The first activity is a costume parade.

 Olivia was easy to spot in a crowd!

 I love this: Olivia playing putt-putt in her huge dress


 
Shootin' hoops!

The next day, actual Halloween, we went over to our friends' annual Halloween party and trick-or-treating in their compound.  MPR and I were Longhorn fans

 Rays girls and the Delcambre girls

Singapore

Mike had a business trip to Singapore and the girls had a couple days off from school, so we flew out to spend some fun time with the Leedy clan!  We had such a great time!  Singapore was fantastic!

 Hook 'Em...Eliza must have known we were going to visit some super fan Longhorns

 We had a loooong layover in Doha.  The girls got make-overs at the MAC counter :-)


 The new airport in Doha was actually tons of fun.  They had this huge play structure for kiddos.

 Eliza fell asleep with the safety card.  This was about an hour after she had a major bump on her head from a fall.

 The girls played dress-up every day with Sophie

 Olivia, Vivi, Eliza, and Sophie

 We went to China town.  Live frogs!!!

 Eliza kept saying, "I don't like China, I want to go back to Singaport".  She didn't care for the smells in Chinatown.  She has a very strong sense of smell.


 Stopping to have some fresh juice

 The famous Singapore Zoo


 Sophie, Eliza, Charles, and Olivia in front of koalas

 Truly amazing zoo.  There were animals seemingly everywhere not in cages.

 Cool elephant demonstration



The Leedy's had a live-in and we were able to leave the kiddos for a couple adult only evenings.  

They took us to the coolest bar that was truly a mixologist's dream.  It wasn't cheap though, at $20+ per drink!  Singapore is expensive!!


 Super yummy world renowned dumpling place, Din Tai Fung.  Once we got back here, I was telling some friends about it and they told me there is the same restaurant in Dubai!  No pork though!
