Just before I went on vacation I was able to see Stacy at her school Halloween Parade:
Stacy was Cinderella and it is so different from when Jack went to school. It was less chaotic and more organized. They break up the classes into different days and times so the school is not crowded with parents taking pictures. Now it was a lot more casual and easier to get pictures of your kid:
Most the class is all girls…there are only four boys in her class:
The worse decision we made all night was waiting in line for a Johnny Depp, Captain Jack photo:
We waited way too long and Jack was bored:
I couldn’t wait in line for Captain Jack and not wait in line for the Princesses so Stacy and I waited in that line as well and we were the second to last person in line to greet them…we barely made it!
Snow White:
I have no idea who these princesses are…princess from some Frog movie:
I think this was Belle:
I doubt I would go back for the Halloween event but at least I can cross it off my bucket list (not that it was on my bucket list);
The kids really enjoyed being at the Happiest Place on Earth:
After we rode on some rides the kids changed into their costumes and got ready to trick or treat:
It was a zoo, waiting in line to get your candy and Disneyland was super generous with the candy. Honestly, I dunno how parents would let their kids eat that much candy! Stacy and Jack got 3 bags of candy each…we dumped it into 2 extra back packs we brought AND we stopped trick or treating early.
Okay, I guess I need to get this post done BEFORE Thanksgiving!! Since Aya and I were on vacation before Halloween and we were going to miss seeing the kids on Halloween we decided to go to Mickey’s Halloween party at Disneyland. Aya and I had never gone to Disneyland at Halloween. It is a special ticket, in that you can get into the park 3 hours before it closes and then when the park closes only ‘x’ amount of tickets are sold and you can trick or treat in your costume at the park.
In order to tell Mickey’s Halloween guests from regular park guests you have to wear wristbands and then they rope off the entrances to parts of the park and you have to show your bracelet. I thought it wouldn’t be as crowded but it was super crowded. We were still able to go on several rides:
I don’t know if it was a sugar rush or what, but Stacy was making these strange faces….perfect black mail material when she gets older.
The bug eyed look:
The Slyvester Stallone Rocky smile:
The under lip:
And my personal favorite:
I love this one because Uncle Su-Chan has a picture of himself looking like this when he was a kid. HILARIOUS!!
Jack having fun playing dodge ball:
It was nice having a private court:
But Jack wanted to go try to dunk a basketball:
Not quite high enough:
With 2 games on the weekends, 2 practices during the week sometimes I feel the Pirates are like my own kids!!
Mason:
Luke:
Jonny:
Evan:
Kevin:
Josh:
Brandon:
Kai:
It is no party with Grandpa:
and Grandma being there:
Aunty Dawn and Uncle Bryan and Toshihiro got two hours of kid frenzy infested F-U-N:
Uncle Su realized kids parties are good reason why birth control should ALWAYS be used:
Of course Stacy goes where brother goes:
This year we celebrated Jack’s birthday party at Skyzone in Torrance. I just realized that I was a idiot and I didn’t get a group picture…DOH!
Jack’s best friend from school Winston:
Park friends from Kindergarten, Alaina:
Chance:
Cameron:
One day after school, I told Stacy it was time to take a picture of the artwork that she did at school. I said that is a nice lady bug and Jack heard me and yelled out “That was MY lady bug from school”:
Umm, yeah…I should have never confused the art work because I should have realized the lady bug sucked to much to be Stacy’s art work. Here are some recent pieces, the alien:
The troll:
The mummy:
