HKG243: Sad Saturday

olivia very patiently waited in a long line to get her face painted, and this is the result. she literally stopped traffic when we returned to central this evening. josh told me that a woman made her husband pull the car over so that she could lean out the window and blow kisses to livie. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

q was thrilled to be spider man and even endured his mask for a long time. once it was snack time, though, the mask had to go. josh taught him how to "throw" webs yesterday, and he now does it with proficiency. i am looking forward to this one getting a lot of repeat usage once it's added to the toy bin.

today started out nice and slow. we skyped with family this morning, and then josh took the kids out to run some errands while i went out to run some other errands and do some birthday shopping for q...his 3rd birthday is next week!

this afternoon, we headed out to the bradbury school to attend their halloween carnival. the kids were super excited to wear their costumes and proudly brought along their buckets hoping to trick-or-treat. the carnival was just so-so...it was pretty well organized, but a couple of the attractions were just too small, and due to the VERY LARGE crowds, lines were long. blah-blah-blah. we also never found a place for the kids to trick-or-treat, which was a pretty big downer for them.

what really put a damper on the day, though, was that we lost our brand new, shiny, awesome camera. so, we are back to crappy cell phone camera pics. josh put a call in to the taxi dispatch office to report the camera lost, but i am guessing that our chances of getting it back are slim to none. what is it with us andersons?! first i leave my cell phone in a taxi and now this. bleh!

  1. Oh, noooo! That really sucks! (about the camera, of course)

    Your kids are so cute. I can't wait for you guys to be in the same country as us. <3

  2. Sorry about the camera!! That bites. And sorry for no trick or treating. The kids looked adorable though. I can't believe Q is going to be THREE already! Time sure flies.
