Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween!

Boo at the zoo!

Last night we bundled up and headed out to the zoo for their Halloween party! Before we left I had to bribe Jaden into wearing her costume. She wanted to be a dinosaur but I wanted her to be a witch. I am happy to say that after a kitkat bar and the promise of more she put the witch costume on. And I must say she rocked that costume!



After our small photo session it was off to the zoo to fill up her bucket!





After a while we met up with Jaden's China sister Sophie Su!

Jaden was in heaven when she got to ride with Charlie. She has a little crush on him!





Earlier in the week Jaden and I went to the zoo in the daytime with her friends Leah and Audrey. I am sure it was our last decent day of the year before the cold sets in so we wanted to spend it outside!









The rest of the week was cold and rainey so we stayed indoors painting pumpkins, doing halloween crafts and working on our Abc's!



And the rest of the time Jaden spent on her Leapster! She is obsessed with this thing. My parents bought it for her birthday and she loves it. I have to force her to turn it off at night. Luckily it has educational games so its not too bad for her!

Catch up

We have had a busy few weeks and I never got time to post our pumpkin picking pictures so here ya go!

We went to a small farm in the area a few weeks ago and met up with Mattie and her family. Their festival did not start until the next day so it wasn't crowded and the pumpkins had not been picked over yet.
The fun started with a run through a maze!


Then it was time to load up onto the wagon and take a long and bumpy ride out to the fields!



Once out in the field we had our choice of any pumpkin we were willing to get in there and pick! We decided to let Rusty do all the heavy lifting!








We also had our second Chinese class this past weekend. Jaden had a great time and met all of her friends at the door and said "Ni Hao friend" it was pretty cute!




She also got her first lesson in cleaning windows. Luckily for me she loves to do this!

Other than that I have been busy with paperwork for a special project and we have stayed indoors. Its been cold and rainy and of course thanks to a crazy man we decided to stay inside due to all the exotic animals that were running loose! (only in Ohio!)
So here are some random pics!
