Halloween in Cebu... the best way to celebrate. Oct 2013

Asher was a pumpkin and Pierce was an "Aggie Colored" Clone... Ashers was chosen by me bc it was what Pierce wore for his first Halloween in Singapore and Pierce picked his outfit based on the fact that he got to carry around a gun.  The mask below was added in Cebu (a gift from Mrs. Heather) bc we had to leave the huge plastic helmet at home (I was not packing that in our suitcase).

The Shangri La really knows how to celebrate Halloween.  There were several kids and some of them locals from the surrounding neighborhoods.  They started the night with a trick or treat where they got really cool stuff like lighted wands and head bands, glow sticks and more.

This is what the big kids did.. stayed back and watched.

When in a resort... you order fancy drinks along the way... 

After the trick or treating... the Halloween ball began which was held in a banquet room with a mini show that included a star war themed sword fight, smoke, music and food.

A fun night and I am sure Pierce will never forget this one.

A flash back to Halloween Night...

The Reeves had a Halloween Party in the Woodlands which happens to be the best trick or treating in Singapore... it was a great night with friends...


The kids kept coming... just when we got them all to sit down and take a pic... more showed up... so cute...


After eating and watching the Charlie Brown Pumpkin we went out to trick or treat... and Pierce was thrilled when he bumped into other ARMY MEN (aka. boys)...

Some houses were a little scary.. with people jumping out from the fences... yikes...

A family picture... Pierce gave me these glow in the dark earrings... I had to wear them.

Thanks to JuJu and Aunty Elly we had the best trick or treating bag ever... I sewed on the patches to represent Pierce's favorite war... WWII


Pierce ran around with the big boys... it was so sweet...

This picture is a little blurry but gives you an idea of what a beautiful night it was...


I think he got a little scared on the next picture... he ran away from the house as fast as possible..

Mr. Dittman, the man of the year... he was watching his older children trick or treat, had the small one on his chest, talking on a work conference call and wearing a smile...

Look at these little army men... so proud..

Pierce hung out with them for a little while...

Back at the Reeves... look at all those shoes... we had to count our candy.

Pierce and his neighbor friend (who he says he is going to marry) Mia...

Pierce and bud Brady (who did not want to dress up... he was not into it)...

A great night for sure...

Halloween Friday Monster Bash!

The Friday before Halloween we went to the Monster Bash at Rochester Park. We joined Violet and her gang for a day full of Halloween fun. Here Pierce all dressed up and sweet Violet a little bumble bee.

There were tons of activities for the kids to do... here Pierce is fishing. They would pick up goodies along the way and some of the activities were educational which was a nice touch.

There was trick or treating upstairs... which was a bit scary bc you had to knock on the door and this scary hand came out and you had to shake his hand to get candy... what happened to the rule "they are not allowed to touch you"... that is the only way I survived going to haunted houses... not sure about them now.

We even got to pick out what we wanted made out of balloons.. Pierce wanted an airplane and the sweet lady put a skeleton as the driver...

Face Painting... here he requested a race car... I think this was the first time she ever did a race car. I was so impressed how still Pierce was during this process.

Playing anyone???

Just could eat up this little race car driver....

Sweet Violet with her Unicorn.

Marek the Cowboy...

Just another pic of the cool race car driver.

More activities outside... have I told you yet how hot it was... it had just rained so it was muggy and humid.... yuck but with all the fun who could tell.

More fun... Here Pierce is learning fractions by placing bears in and out of circles. He was so excited to do this with the teacher. I think the teacher was enjoying having him there bc this was not a popular station if you know what I mean. But Pierce was happy to please.

They even had a jump castle... wow... so much fun... and no one got hurt... yippeee.

Then last stop up stairs for some dancing and puppet show.

Got to check out Pierce dancing.... we had never met the guy teacher in this video but it only took 5 min for him to figure out Pierce's name... so don't be confused we don't know this person but he knew Pierce if you know what I mean.

Puppet Show

He had something to say...

One last tackle on the ground with Violet... they are best buds.

Another great day with great friends... Happy Halloween.
