Halloween

(From left to right and top to bottom: Tinkerbell, Dorothy, 8ball, Alfalfa)












I've seen your blogs. You all posted your Halloween pictures by Nov. 1. I haven't even uploaded the photos from our camera, but my dear, punctual, friend emailed some to me from the ward party.

Opinion Poll

1. How many Halloween events are required to consider the holiday sufficiently observed?

At the operaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

No, we didn't take our younglings to Macbeth. It was actually a fanciful production of The Magic Flute. The highlights were eating pretzels with Dad and seeing our

friendly, neighborhood, opera star painted blue. When you have the time, Star and Angelfish will happily breakdown the love-triangle plot and show you sketches of their favorite costumes. They said the show got really interesting once they moved to seats with translation screens. Next time, don't be late!

Stand back! I know origami!

Paper folding?

This is a place holder photo of the girls making origami cats, hearts and pumpkins at the Kiku exhibit. Kiku is the Japanese art of growing chrysanthemums, but included an extensive tour of Japanese botanical design from the famous bonsai to gardens of gigantic bamboo sculpture and, of course, paper folding. Wait. You'll see.
