Misc. Musings... Halloween, Muay Thai Boxing, ECA, Opera

We went to a Halloween parade at the Embassy last Friday. The kids collected candy from all the offices on the first two floors and then had a party in the Cafeteria. After, the kids came home and did all their trick-or-treating in the building. Mary immediately sorted her candy out and packed it up in little boxes for the homeless. Now, you might think that is a very charitable impulse on her part but, in fact, she is developing a terrible phobia about getting fat.

On that note, Mr. Micah has been all about the Muay Thai Boxing this week. There is a Muay Thai boxing gym not far from our apartment so we signed up for 15 lessons. He really loves it and it is a great workout.

The kids have 3 ECA (Extra Curricular Activity) sessions throughout the year. The first session is ending and the next one will start up next week. Mary was in a singing group called Snap, Crackle, Pop and they are putting on a little concert Wednesday to wrap things up. For the next session, Micah will play basketball on Fridays and Mary will play board games on Wednesdays.

I will attend an Opera this evening at the Thai Cultural Center. I think there will also be some art viewing and music beforehand. I will bring my camera!
