Fall Flurry

So many small things have happened over the past weeks - here is a 'catching up' post. 



Beach Time -
Hong Kong does November right. Shek O beach is one of our favorite afternoon destinations. Close to our house. Restaurants nearby. And a lady sets up chairs & umbrella for about $1 USD. A blissfully relaxing place.









That bed project? Done. (happy find: zero VOC paint)

after

 A care-package in the mail with USA stuff brings a special kind of happy!

Thank you, Justin & Joelle!!!
Things in HK that we love...


These will be my downfall!

"chinese herbal" - medicine that really works!!

 Potty trained ... well.... sort of. :)


Hanging at the house... 


Out and About:

Elton John concert - on a school night! :) yeehaw!
 running errands... in the streets of HK...





Weekends in Stanley (always!)

Bear & I tried this group jump-rope - unsuccessfully!


ice cream from the dour lady at the corner store
Midlevels with a dear friend for pedis and dinner:




Cook-Out with our apartment-pals:


Thanksgiving with friends:




football - laptop style



all of the Amahs



Funny antics

For 3 days straight - she insisted on wearing her 3D glasses to watch cartoons.

She also aggressively asks to bake something every Saturday morning.
She picks a photo in the kids' cookbook and begs to make it -
sometimes as early as 5:30 a.m.!


And finally - preparations for Christmas:

school tree-lighting ceremony at night

yep, still shorts weather some days





ABear's Christmas Show
Our girl is the one in the red dress & santa hat - rockin it out up front:



This preschool warms my heart something fierce!

Only in Hong Kong do you need to 'take a number'
...and purchase a ticket days in advance enabling you to 'take a number' to see the big guy.
