Emily Swimming

I finally got a video of Emily showing her swimming skills!

Halloween

I am happy to say that Halloween in KL is growing. This year there were many more shops carrying costumes, decorations and candy. Being from the US Halloween is normal to us but we are one of the few countries that celebrate it. Many of our friends and neighbors have no idea what trick or treating means. Thankfully Samantha is at an American school that embraces the fun of the holiday. On Friday night they had a carnival and trick or treat trail around the school. Then today Samantha wore her costume to school and had Halloween arts and crafts plus a party. Lastly I organized trick or treating in the neighborhood for tonight. We had a TON of children come out for candy.

This year Samantha was Fancy Nancy from the popular children's book series and Emily was Annie. Both costumes turned out really cute. I can hardly stand how adorable Emily was in the wig. Surprisingly she kept it one the entire carnival and trick or treating. Here are some pictures of them with their friends.

The last picture is of some of the weird candy. The orange thing is a "jelly". Looks just like a jello shot but without the alcohol. They are a big treat in asia. Not sure where the other stuff is from but some random stuff. I guess with a bag of Hershey's mixed candy going for $12 a bag you end up with some knock offs.

Enjoy!

New Milestone

Today, we had a break through at the Liskow house. Samantha learned to tie her shoes! She is giggly in the video because this was probably take number 5.
