Happy Halloween!

We went to the island for trick or treating with Isreal and her mom, Niki! It was very windy but it wasn't cold...thank goodness! Can you tell what Raine dressed up this year??

今年のハローウィーンもまたフェリーに乗ってトロントアイランドへ行って来た！今回はお友達のIsrealとそのお母さんと一緒に行って来た！天気が気になっていたが（ずっと雨マークだったので）強風以外雨も降ることなく楽しめた！ちなみに、レインのコスチューム見て何になったかわかるかな？

We had to run to catch this streetcar...

We ran into Ricardo! What a surprise!!!

We saw lots of great pumpkin carvings!

Look at this view!!!

"Don't take two! Just one!!!"

We went to dinner after trick or treating! I had the most fun there!!!

Drummer!

Used Clothing Sale...

Raine's school had a used clothing sale today. Since I knew that I wanted to find 6 items(uniform, gym clothes, jazz shoes, etc) I tried to get there by 3:30pm(just before the sale started).

When I got there it was OVERWHELMING!!! It was like a boxing day sale! Parents were already there running around and pulling and taking things from other parents! Then I realized the asian parents were the worst ones there! They all seemed to have the same trick. They would grab as many as possible, go to the corner, try everything on, keep the ones that fit and discard the rest. HOLY COW!!! I said to myself, "I have to be like that too if I want to find something for Raine!". I pushed some parents and took some stuff(kind of fun!). I ended up finding 4 items and I am SO proud of myself!!! Good thing that Daniel wasn't there to see me like that!

レインの学校が体操着や制服などの「古着セール」をやったので行って来た。全部で6アイテムを見つけたかったのでセールが始まるちょっと前には行こうと家を出た。ところが学校につくともう既に親達が走り回ってうばいあいの戦争状態！まるで夏の大バーゲンって感じ（？）かなり驚いてひいてしまったが、よくよく見るとみんな同じ動き（トリック）をしている事を発覚！

1. サイズ関係なくとにかくほしい物は全て先にとる
2. それを持って角の誰もいない所に行く
3. 子供に試着させる
4. サイズが合った物だけとって残りを返す

どうりでテーブルの上にはほとんど何もないわけだ！しかもなぜかこの技を使っているのはアジア人の親だけ！うーん、頭が良いと言うか、ずる賢いと言うか...でもそこで私は「ここで何か見つけるにはこの親達には負けてられない！」と思い私もその仲間入りしてしまった。

結果的には4つもレインのサイズを見つけ満足、満足！でもこのオバタリアンの自分をダニエルに見られなくてよかった〜！

Vancouver 2010 Olympics

Raine had a commercial and photo shoot for CTV and we had to go all the way to Burlington for that. Raine was SO excited because he got to play ball hockey instead of going to school! The funny thing was that the commercial was about a Caucasian family and Raine(!?). I don't even know how he would fit in this family...

「バンクーバーオリンピック」のコマーシャルと広告撮影の仕事でレインはBurlingtonというとこに行って来た。一日かかっての撮影だったので学校をお休みしてしまった。レインのシーンは家の前でボールホッケーをやってゴールを決める瞬間と友達と一緒に学校に行くシーンの2つ。でもよーく見るとこれは白人ファミリーのコマーシャル？そこにアジア人のレインがいるのはなんか笑える。

Raine is the one with the red touque! He is SO ready to play ball hockey!

The director is showing what to do.

Mom is taking a family picture(funny that Raine is there!).
