New phone, New recipes, New appreciation for Halloween

I've finally joined the touch phone world! I was reluctant and fought it for years, but I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 and I'm loving all the fun apps. Sorry, I can't play Words with Friends or Hanging with Friends because there is no Droid app for those games in Korea. I'm learning so much about phone technology with this phone. The best thing about this phone is it has an 8 megapixel camera! So I will probably be posting a lot more pictures :).

Some new recipes I've tried with success:

Spicy rice cake or ddukbokki (떡볶이). It came out well, but I made it wayyy too spicy. Burned my mouth. I'm sure Resa would have loved it. :P

Beef and quail eggs in soy sauce or jangjorim (장조림). It also has garlic, peppers, honey, and kelp. I believe I've had this dish before back home, but I never realized how much I liked it until I bought some from a butcher's shop in Korea. It's sooooo tasty and a new favorite.
 
I was dreading Halloween at work, but the little ones reminded me how much fun Halloween could be. 

Already fighting over a man (*shaking my head). Actually those two girls are always fighting over something.
Alex is feeding Brody one of the ghosts we made out of a dum dum, tape, and tissue.
We made chocolate muffin crumb dirt and sour worms the kids ate.
The little one hanging on my neck is Ted. He's my favorite pre kinder student and I wish my future son will be just like him. He's so sweet and has such personality! He brings me a sticker or candy every morning. He often carries my basket to the classroom when I teach his class. He always tries so hard to read and remember what I teach him. He also tries to punch or molest me at least once a day, but he's 5...all is forgiven after a stern look is returned with a smile and a giggle. He's obviously not afraid of me. I'm in love...sigh.
I was a twin for my Halloween costume. I know, very cheap. LOL. We had matching headbands!
There's my darling again! I <3 Ted.
We had at least 3 different Snow Whites. They were all adorable.
Check out the video below. We had a mummy contest...it was intense.

Longest day and week ever! My desk space hasn't looked this bad at work in a minute.
