Trick or Treat My Pretty

Happy Halloween All...

We didn't get to go trick or treating this year, so we had our own little party at home. We still got dressed up, we colored pictures of pumpkins, witches and ghost and decorated the house, we ate candy, and we watched scary movies. It was a lot of fun. Ashton actually did get to go trick or treating at school. It's kinda cool. The kindergarten he attends went around the neighborhood and let the people know they would be coming so they could give out candy/cookies. I really like his new school. Within a month of going there he went from speaking hardly any Chinese to 1/2 of what he says is now in Chinese. Amazing huh?!! Wish I had that ability... My daughter now just looks at me when I 'try' to speak and shakes her head like she's saying "your sad, just sad, you should stop trying now". And when we get in the cab to go somewhere she always says "Here mom let me say it", like I'm embarrassing her or something.

We also went to a couple weddings this weekend. Janet (John's Sister) and her new husband Danny flew in for their reception. It was very beautiful. She was beautiful, he was handsome, my kids were out of control!! Actually they just acted like kids act at a wedding. They got to blow bubbles and man did they ever blow bubbles. They (not just them - all the kids) blew so many that the floor was slippery. Then they pleaded with Janet and Danny to stay overnight with them in their hotel room. Yeah, can't think of anything more romantic than your nieces and nephew spending the night with you. Janet and Danny were very sweet and let them. Who knows it may have just cost John's side of the family any further grandchildren. Now Janet won't ever want to have any after having mine.

Sometimes, you just have to laugh.

Isn't it so fun to throw flowers?

Wasn't she so beautiful.

No I didn't catch him by surprise, my son actually poised for the picture like this.
