happy mid autumn festival!
tonight we had our mid autumn moon festival on the playground. earlier in the week i had bought the most ridiculous lanterns for the kids – hello kitty driving a car, hello kitty shaped as a strawberry, transformers, swords…but they all light up and they all play ridiculous music like "it's a small world" "Auf weidersehen" and the like.
the kids also wear glo bands around their necks and wrists and they march around the playground, waving their lanterns and playing. the mock "festival" started at 7.30 and we didn't come upstairs until 8.30. in fact, we would have stayed longer but sela said in tones that brooked no arguement, "i would like to come upstairs now mummy, i am tired". so up we came.
mid autumn moon festival is a fantastic time in hong kong. i am so glad that we celebrate it.
it is still really really hot here in hong kong!!!

Not Mo but dear old dad here. Today we had the festival of “Damnit it’s starting to snow”. Everyone rushes to their winter clothes storage area and drags out the woolies, mukluks and survival gear.Exciting times.
Sad to say I’m off to Vancouver. Mo will hold the fort until I return.
Love to all….Dad
I remember our first mid autum festival…we went to the beach on DB and celebrated with the Schimidts…Keighley was a few days old…and was in the baby bijorn…there were candles in the sand and kiddos running around with glo-sticks…it was lots of fun!!! Noah enjoyed the beach lots… boy do we miss HK at times… love ya..Lyns

Oh my…how I’d love to have one of those masks!!! They’re gorgeous!!
Wow – you seem to be involved in the most interesting things. It does seem nice to raise children in Hong Kong, we’ve nothing like that here.
you all make gorgeous dragons! it’s hard to believe fall is around the corner here too, although if the weather report is right we will have our first day (tropical storms notwithstanding) of not-90’s (not-30’s) since last spring. we may get autumn here by halloween. speaking of halloween, z says she wants to be supergirl :). she loves that costume.
I like your work
Good JobNow YOu really Have To See this
