Fall Preview

It's late September and fall is here....

even in HK. 

Here's a sneak peak of why we love fall....

In other fun fall activity related news, 

Phil took Sam and Luke ice skating with some friends.

Yep you read that right. 

Hong Kong + Ice skating + Sam + Luke 

Here they are in their group lesson....

They had a great time. 

I stayed back with Noah. 

Sam was onto the real reason I didn't go and said, 

"If you go momma, I'll build you house out of snow so you stay warm."

I almost ate him....

They ended the afternoon at the tallest bar in HK, Ozone. 

Placed inside the ritz carlton. 

Only the best for my kids....

And by best I mean.....GUMMY BEARS!!!!!

Sam is now 4, going on 14 and prefers his own couch........

Luke's 2 going on 2 and a loose cannon....

And Noah is still adorable......

Happy Fall!!

Beach Bums.....

As promised here are a few pictures from Luke's Lantern Festival Parade at school....

On the home front, if I could describe our current phase of life in one picture, this would be it....

(Yes, that's sam in the crib)

In other news, we survived the Super typhoon!!! Yesterday the sun was out again and we decided celebrate by to hitting the beach.... 

 Take that Usagi!

We're still here!

Yes, I am aware I haven't updated my blog in almost two weeks! 

AHH!

With nap schedules, school schedules & Phil traveling.... we've been in survival mode. 

Here is what we've been up to, from what I can remember....

Phil tried to teach the boys basketball.

They were more interested in snacking.

Luke's into hide and seek,

but the hiding part isn't a strong point for him....

We had some family photos taken....

And the boys have been as mischievous as ever....

We've been making water balloons and throwing them around which the boys LOVE....

but I made the first batch too small & they just bounced and rolled all over...

But persistence paid off and we got the job done...

Luke, with support from us, is now potty trained.

For the most part. 

And we went to an animal experience and got to handle snakes....

spiders.....

And other gross stuff.

Noah is getting bigger & bigger......

And he can't really be left unattended these days.....

Good thing we have back up....

Phil has been traveling so last night I attempted a grown up dinner with some girlfriends....

The boys didn't appreciate my absence. I was beckoned home to screaming children who had woken up from nightmares. 

These children then turned into my sleeping buddies. 

And last but not least....I read a book at Luke's school today. 

I love going into the classroom and hanging out with him and seeing his class and artwork and meeting his friends....

Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival and there is parade at Luke's school.....

more pictures to follow!
