Hi everyone! It sure was a hot summer this year. But summer is officially over and cooler weather is surely ahead of us!
The hot topic last month for Americans was the presidential debate. Both sides claimed victory. It seems the hot topics this election are immigration (around 30 million illegal immigrants), abortion (whether abortion laws should be decided by the state or at the federal level), child Trans rights (should kids be able to take hormone medication without parent approval), and the economy (how to combat inflation). I have no idea who will win. It seems America is pretty evenly divided.
On a more positive note, the Halloween party is approaching quickly! There’s going to be a fun craft, exciting games, costume prizes, and trick-or-treating! There may even be some treat bags! There is still time to sign up, so come and join us for the party!
While there will be plenty of candy at the party there won’t be any regular food, so please have lunch before you arrive. Because we are limited by space, the party is for kids only. However, if your child is 2 or 3 years old, please join them.
Have you found a costume yet? You might also be able to find a nice costume on Mercali or Yahoo Auctions. I have found some costumes on Amazon and Rakuten as well, but many are sent from abroad so you need to order early. 100 yen shops like Daiso usually have a variety of cheap costumes, so they are another good option. Every year some parents make costumes which turn out amazing! Good luck with the Halloween costume hunt! Have a wonderful October!
