A World of Adventure: Oh What a Week!!! (part 1)

Last time I posted I was awaiting our last shipment of stuff. Indeed it came. That was not really a big deal. They came, dropped off a bunch of boxes in about half an hour and then left. The unpacking challenge was all mine, which was actually preferable. I had pretty much everything unpacked by the time Mike got home from work. I still have some miscellaneous stuff around that needs to be reorganized and found a new home but over all we are finally moved in!

Thursday was a very busy day. The girls had a special day at school on Thursday. They had a little parade for the parents which included them singing a song. All the kids dressed up in different "Helping Career" outfits. Giulianna was a nurse and Avery was an astronaut. Avery's class also did an extra little song and dance for their parents. They were so cute! They did an awesome job!! Check out the video!!! After I picked them up, I asked them what they wanted for lunch since I forgot to bring them one. Avery wanted a hamburger, and what better place for a hamburger than... McDonalds! This would be no big deal if we were stateside but the McDonalds here isn't a super place to go to. The only one I know of is on Itaewon, there is no drive thru and definitely no parking. The easiest way to get there is to drive across post and park up by the gas station and walk there. SO we did. The girls loved their lunch (so did I)! Ordering is quite fun too since the people at the counter only speak some English. To order the kids Happy Meals they had a picture card so they could point to what they want. After lunch and some rest time in the car the girls had their last dance class (at least for a while). They did really good in class that day. The decision to take them out of dance really is for the best though. At least they ended on a good note! The other note worthy thing that happened that day was that Ben's Mom arrived from the states. This is most important because it means Laurie is getting close to having that baby, and everyone loves a baby!!!!!

Here comes the parade!

The kid right in front of Giulianna is her friend Vladamir, and that's Kiera behind her.

Giulianna was supposed to be a nurse. I guess the dress up clothes haven't been updated in 20 plus years!


Getting ready to sing!

Everybody stretch!

Here are the videos of the above mentioned songs...

Friday we had a Halloween play date party at Christina's house. It was really fun. The kids played a game, made a macaroni skeleton and we all ate lots of food!!! After the party I laid Rhyon down for a nap. Instead of taking advantage of his rest time he decided to turn on the light and fan in the room several times, play with his musical alligator and then scream to get out of his crib. He had no nap which is a huge surprise since he is the 3 hour nap kid. I just hope the no nap thing isn't a new trend, I very much prefer my break in the afternoon!!!
