halloween 2016

i always swear it's my last year to make costumes. we never have enough time and the kids are so wiggly when we are sizing everything....but somehow we all manage to pull it together. it's especially nice that it's dark during trick or treating so all of the flaws are not recognized :) this was the first year the kids were trick or treating separately so we took the photo the night before.

poaching protest march

ms. honda rallied the kids (and parents) for a protest march against poaching of elephants and rhinos for their tusks and horns. we spent a few days making a huge elephant head and mahala spent some time making pinwheels for the event. it was a warm day in san francisco and the march began and ended in union square. the kids were invited on stage for few minutes to sing a couple of songs they practiced at school. the march took place on the same day in over 100 cities around the world!
