Just a day, just an...ordinary day...
Living in China, one thing that all Westerners need to get used to is the desire of the Asians to photograph our light skinned, round-eyed children. Since our earliest days in Malaysia we have made it a bit of sport to try to take pictures of the people taking pictures of our kids. Often the kids are tired of it and hide their faces. Today we were having a lovely doughnut at Dunkin Donuts and the very sweet girl behind the counter took a liking to Viv:
I guess Vivi was feeling cheeky today because she posed for her:
Then we continued on with our errands at Carrefour, our nearby super store. They had a nice sale on shirts and I nearly bought this one, but settled for the picture instead:
Here's a close up of the bottom of the text:
"The wind lether know That my wands are drenched in the dilk". I have even tried to reverse-engineer a translation that makes SOME kind of sense but try as I may, I keep coming up with nothing. Suggestions?
And as it is Halloween, let's have some holiday-specific fun. Seen on the box of a Halloween decoration in Carrefour:
As Halloween nears, we have been doing some prep. This year again we made the flyer for everyone in our neighborhood to hang on their doors to identify the houses participating in handing out Trick-or-Treats. Viv was such a trouper, she helped me to deliver them to all 100+ houses! and she wasn't even afraid of the spider and webs on our neighbors' mailbox~
We decorated Halloween cookies with our friends (thanks for the googley eyes Aunt Vickie!)
Some of the finished product
And had fun straws for our drinks! (Thanks again to Aunt Vickie!)
Everyone got a Halloween tattoo as a parting gift:
Happy Halloween, Everyone!
