Halloween is taking off in Shanghai. There were so many shops in the commodities market dealing with costumes and decorations and such this year. Also, two neighborhoods did trick or treating on two different nights so the kids got double duty trick or treating. Alex was a Beyblade Trainer and Elizabeth was the Disco Zombie from Plants vs Zombies. The adults had two parties this year. The first one Kirk dressed up as the Disco Priest and I was a Gypsy Fortune Teller. It's always so funny meeting people for the first time at Halloween parties because when they see you later, they have no idea who you are!! The second party had a music theme and we dressed up as the Blues Brothers. You can see in one picture, all of my girlfriends are dressed so cute and there I am as a fat, ugly, man! The other kids with Elizabeth and Alex are Alex and Jenna Gaylord and Rohin Hayes. The adults in the Rock party were Martin and Charu Hayes, Joe and Keri Taverna, Mark and Kim Gaylord. Same people in the last pic except the Hayes weren't there.

Cub Scouts

I am a cub scout leader (nice uniform right?)with another mom. Here is our Tiger Cub troop. We are missing two boys - Patrick and William. The other boys are Griffin, Jonathan, Alex, Andy, and Joey.
