We attended this Halloween event at the mall. Here are his classmates.

We did Trick or Treating at the mall

My cousin, Miki

My friend, Fumi and her son, Hiro kun

Scottie got too tired towards the end

My 2 aunts came to cook dinner for me. She used to make Gyoza when I used to stay over at her house. She made them again for me. They are my mom's older sisters.

It looks like a storm hit this tiny condo in the background...

Look at his thigh

Their first swimming lesson in Japan. They didn:t know what to say about these kids streatching in speedos. They were really really loud.

So I had to hold their hands and do with them. Except, I could not lift my legs..

I was very proud of them. No crying. Even Scottie did a great job.  The lesson was amazing. They were actually teaching how to swim at this age.

Scottie is getting really good at this.

They had a movable zoo at a preschool. It was open for public, so we went.

Scottie was so happy to play with new playground

They digged sweet potatoes at Jo's school. Jo thought it was red radish... this one looks like a mouse

At Jo's school,  there are tons of stuff to see.

I remember this pond at this school (I used to go to this kindergarden when I was Jo's age, too)

Jo was very proud of his drawing. The top one. He draw a grasshopper stuck in the spider web.

We took them to a grocery store.. Oh dear.. They wanted to buy every single sea creature.

Jo wanted me to buy Octopus, fish, squid, etc..

"mom! look at his tiger shark!" it is Saba fish

I decided to buy this one Sanma fish for jo for dinner. He was super happy. he was touching so much, the fish came out and dropped on the floor at the store.

He washed the fish so we can cook

He even give a kiss to the fish.

Ready to put in the oven!

"but mom! he will get burn! Let:s not cook today. maybe tomorrow" so we wrapped him up again and put it back in the fridge... We shall see when we can cook him..

He made Christmas tree 

When we dropp Jo off and come home, Scottie always watches the school during their morning streatch. We can see them and hear them. So fun to live close to the school.
