Trick or Treat

Peter Pan and Tinkerbell went Trick or Treating on Locust Street just like my siblings and I did when we were little. It was fun watching them ring door bells and say "trick or treat." Noah's candy collection went to Uncle Zach (we told him that he could not have the candy in the pumpkin) so when he saw Harabujee giving out Kit-Kats he put his pumpkin away and asked him to put it in his hand so he could eat it! This year we let him indulge in Kit-Kats... what will he like next year???

We want a pitcher, not a belly itcher

Micah has an arm. Can we say Chan Ho Park???

Introducing the Darling Family

Noah is really into Peter Pan so it was only appropriate to have him dress up as him for Halloween (and Kaitlyn is his little sidekick, Tinkerbell). We also decided to get in the act and we dressed up as the Darling Family for his friend's Halloween party... Wendy, John, and Michael. It was a little stressful finding all the different "costumes" but well worth it once we came out as an ensemble cast. I hope Noah appreciates this when he gets older. What will be next year???

Seeing double

Just a random picture of the boys in their pjs right before bed... don't they look cute???

Korean brush painting

We went to LACMA to check out the Korean art gallery and to do some brush painting with Raiden's family. Noah had a great time hanging out with his bud from preschool and it was really cool that the boys were exposed to some culturally relevant art (Raiden is also half Korean). Afterwards we went to a real cool art/food space called Royal T. When will we all get together again???

Mmm... chicken soup

The weather has been a bit colder these days, so we have been making some yummy chicken soup. Noah likes to help by throwing in all the vegetables and stirring the pot. Can we say Top Chef???

Brunch with the family

The birthday celebration continued today with cousin Isaac and Esther. It was great to see them before they headed off to Costa Rica. Before they left, we sang Happy Birthday to Bubbe again and enjoyed some yummy Sprinkles cupcakes. Did Bubbe make another wish???

Happy Birthday Bubbe!

Today we spent the day at the happiest place on earth with Bubbe to help celebrate her birthday. Noah had a great time with her at the park and we all enjoyed the nice weather and company. Here is Bubbe with all her boys... wonder what she wished for???

Happy Chusok!

Chusok is a Korean "Harvest Moon" festival. Although there are many traditional components to this special day (like visiting ancestoral graves, wearing hanboks, and dancing) we put a different spin on it and celebrated Emma's first visit to my parents' home. While she was swaddled and held with care, Noah and Kaitlyn were outside finding pumpkins and the last of this season's tomatoes, and Micah was walking all over the backyard grabbing golf clubs and bats! What will future celebrations be like with four kiddies???
