マディソン絵日記/Madison Iwai Says: 80s Night!!/８０年代パーティー!!

This Halloween our young adult class held an 80s night at our church building...can you guess what we went as? I'll give you a second...
今年のハローウィーンは教会の友達と８０年代と言うテーマのパーティーをする事に...杏奈達が誰に変装してるかわかるかな!?　

Anna was Olivia Newton John, I was Richard Simmons (complete with fake chest hair) and Madison was our aerobics baby...did you guess right?
杏奈はエアロビックスの有名な人、オリビア　ニュートン　ジョン、デイブは８０年代に流行った歌に合わせて変な体操する人、リチャード　シモンズ(大丈夫、胸毛も偽物だからね!)、そしてマディソンはエアロビックスの赤ちゃん：）

At the building we ate TV dinners, answered theme song trivia and played 80s Scene It...around the room the Cosby Show, G.I. Joe the cartoon and Thundercats all played on various TVs. Encircling the room were Cabbage Patch Dolls, Garbage Pail Kids, Smurfs and other 80s paraphernalia.
パーティーでは８０年代に流行ったテレビを観ながらクイズに答えたり、いろいろ有名だったおもちゃやお人形の展示をみたり...

One of the members teaches set design at a local high school and he created a graffiti wall for us to take pictures at...here we are with our lunchbox we won for having the highest score on the 80s trivia worksheet...it was funny...I answered all the ones I knew for sure were right for Anna and then she had to guess on the other ones, which was about half...well we ended up tying with our classmate Chris and so we had a tiebreaker which was to name as many of the things that were posted on this 80s poster that had been made...well earlier in the night Anna had pointed out the Little Mermaid and Larry Bird on the poster as she looked at it and then I think Madison did something and distracted her and we went on our way...as luck would have it the tiebreaker was to name all the things on that poster...there were the Mets celebrating their '86 World Series win and a poster of the movie Rain Man and a bunch of other 80s stuff...42 things in all...well the only two both Anna and I knew were the Little Mermaid and Larry Bird and would you believe our competitor Chris didn't remember anything on the board even though she had taken a picture of it! So Anna and I tied again and took home the Twinkies lunch box for Madison...or maybe me!!
杏奈達の友達に一人が美術学校でステージ作りを教えているんだけど、その人がこの大きな看板にグラフィティって言う落書きをしてくれたからその前で記念写真：）デイブが持っているお弁当箱は８０年代クイズの１等賞の景品！昔のお菓子がいろいろ入ってました...もう少しマディソンが大きくなったらおやつを入れたりして使おうかなー！？

Having Halloween fall on a Saturday actually worked out really well because Anna and I really enjoy handing out candy to all the kids that come through our neighborhood and since it was Saturday they started coming around 4:00pm so we actually ran out of candy at 6:00pm just when we had to leave for the party...that was some nice timing!!
今年はハロウィーンが土曜日だったから、６時頃にパーティーに出発しなきゃ行けない前に近所の子供達に雨とかお菓子を配れました。前にアパートに住んだ時は子供一人も来なかったんだけど今住んでいる所は道がすぐそこだからお菓子を貰いに来る子供がたーくさん！！たった２時間で買っておいたお菓子全部無くなっちゃいました：）
