Halloween

Part of the Halloween tradition in our home is cooking-making. Zane refused at first, declaring, "that's a girl thing". But Shannon handed him the rolling pin, and Zane (aka "Bam Bam") loved it. And he loved even more the eating process.

Abby's best friend, Erica, is behind the mask. Hong Kong is still safe and sweet, and trick-or-treating is a fun thing for the kids. You must adapt though. Key to getting a load of candy is taking the elevator to the top floor, and then running down the staircase between each floor.


Hilliard kids this year were a pirate, Luna Midnight, Harry Potter (for the 5th year in a row), and a kitty cat.

Zane picked out his outfit last week and has put it on every single day. He doesn't yet realize it is a costume. English words #19 and #20? "Trick Treat"
