Kung Fu Donught

This week as you know was Halloween. Halloween is always a good time it seems. Quinn dressed up as Steven Seagal. The ladies in the nursery took them trick or treating around the school. He and the other little ones came by my room in the morning for some treats. The trick was left up to the ladies as they had to pull something out to get him out of the room without a freak out. He wanted to stay pretty bad. Halloween is a write off anyways so I was very close to telling them to just let him stay and have him spend the day with the class. Good judgment got the better of me and he was off. Anyway here is a picture of my class in full costume.

I have provided a picture of Steven Seagal for you here:


And here is a picture of Quinn as Steven Seagal:
Ahh... Now you see the resemblance.

On Saturday the social committee at school hosted a Halloween extravaganza. The kids really had a blast. Lucky for us it was at our apartment building. On the fifth floor of our building there is a common area that is shared by all 4 buildings. It is quite a nice area because you can go outside and not have to deal with street traffic. There are rooms in each of the four buildings on the 5th floor that residents can use. The school rented one out and that is where the "party" was located. All the kids hung out together and did kid stuff. At one point they all went trick or treating at each teacher apartment. They had a blast of course. After trick or treating there were some games for the kids. One game was the "doughnut on a string" game where you have to eat the doughnut off the string without using your hands. The older kids went first; Q was watching intently as he thought he might be next. Smart chap because he was next. He was an observant cat because not once did he try to use his hands. It was classic. Here are some Quimages of the event:

Here is Q's best friend Emma giving it a go. Q was offering moral support.


After the festivities wound down it was time for a little adult party time. The school partnered with SIS, another international school, to have a big blowout Halloween bash. Earlier in the week I went to a costume store with a fellow teacher who just so happens to be named Ben. The only thing I found that would fit was a Bruce Lee outfit. It was sweet so I purchased it. (I found it a bit difficult to get a cab while wearing it. Not sure why?) The party was fun; even complete with live music. Here is a pic of Bruce.. err me and another teacher Derrick.



I thought I would throw in a pic of the band looking a bit ghostly on Halloween.
J is away for a weeklong V-ball tournament. I know it is hard for her to be away for Quinn for so long so send her good vibes.

Adios
