It's fall in Korea, again... I will definitely miss how beautifully and gradually the seasons change here. We had Chuseok (Korean Thanksgiving) recently, so the kids wore their hanbok again:
The Class:
The Girls:
The Boys:
The girls showed me how they bow to their elders on Chuseok in return for money (I didn't have any to give them, haha)
And my most favorite student finally came back from being in Canada for nearly 3 months! I missed Eileen SO MUCH!
If you're bored, go check out last October's Chuseok post and look at how much they've changed in a year... they're getting so big!
We're also gearing up for Halloween again. You may remember last year's epic failure of a song... This year we're going for gold. We're singing a song called "Creeping Creeping" (to the tune of "Are You Sleeping") and they've mastered singing in a 4 part round, complete with choreography! Cross your fingers for us!
Also, with the change in weather came a deep-seated ache for football. Especially with the Favre drama. Lo and behold, I was able to watch the first battle between Favre's Vikings and Rodgers' Packers...IN A BAR! ON A BIG SCREEN TV! It felt like I was back in the States!
Other than that, life's been pretty routine here. I've just been having good fun with great friends:
And cleaning up after filthy kids :)
We've got some great things planned for the rest of October, though, so hopefully by November 1 I'll have some more blogging to do :) Next weekend we're going to Everland for their big Halloween extravaganza, then the weekend after we have a big surprise planned for The Dish (because we love her). Then it'll be Halloween, and I can promise great pictures from that day!
Love you all!
ps - if I'm not posting something you think I should be paying more attention to, let me know. Now that the novelty's worn off, I'm kind of at a loss!

Great post, thats why we check your blog 2 to 3 times a week. =) So all the kids looked great all dressed up for che... chu... Thanksgiving! (Pic#3) the boys are so goofy, it looks like you (and the boy on the end) have your hands full. (Pic#7)looks like you have a new hangout for you football fix. So, you are a hardcore Greenbay fan that still professes your love for Farve, is that correct?(pic#last) Was last week spent learning the way to propperly apply a "Dirty Sanchez". If so that kid gets an A+. Wow thats kind of a long comment. CALL MORE OFTEN! just kiddin'.
Hi there. You sent me a message about a letter from my mom and that lead me to your facebook page which lead me to your blog. I have a blog as well but I'm not the one teaching so all I can really do is write on my experiences here. My husband is the teacher. Still, I am from Wisconsin and definitely a Packer's fan. :D Maybe we can meet up sometime, especially if you know where to watch Packer games!
They are still so cute...even after a year! Thanks for the pictures Love you, Mom
