Holidays are a little different in China. In the States decorations are everywhere and there is no way you could forget a holiday. Here in China a holiday is upon you before you even realize it. Brynn decided during the summer, she was going to be Dora the Explorer for Halloween and Aubrey would be Boots. This week we started getting ready for Halloween.
Earlier this week we did a counting lesson with candy corn. In theory it was a great idea, but before I knew it all 10 pieces were eaten. It was a short activity. Brynn did learn one thing...she loves candy corn and has asked to count them again.
Brynn is wearing one of her new favorite articles of clothing, blue jeans. She loves them because of the pockets. She made me wait to take the picture so she could pose with her hands in her pockets.
Aubrey is getting ready for Halloween too. I think she will be wearing headbands for a while. It doesn't look like she will get hair anytime soon.
I have seen this car around the neighborhood several times, but have never had my camera with me. We see Chinese signs like this all the time. They take a Western saying and it gets lost in translation. I don't think they want their baby on the road. Ha!
Jeff, Scott and Eric are in route to China right now. I will be picking them up at the airport Friday while Matt is in school. We are looking forward to their visit and showing them around our city. Thank you Tara, April and Ashley for letting them visit.
Brynn looks all thugged out in that picture...love it!
ReplyDeleteHey Sarah and Matt! Thanks again for hosting Jeff and the guys! Sarah, Jeff's been raving about your cooking - He said it was so nice to eat some familiar food. They're having a blast and really enjoyed staying with y'all. I'm sure it was a little harder than normal to have three men living w/you for 3 days, but they definitely appreciated it and enjoyed getting a glimpse into your everyday life in Chengdu! Jeff talked about what a neat kid Brynn is! It's neat to watch her, because it gives us some insight into what Kate will be like around the same time a year from now. I was excited to see the "follow by email" button on your blog - hopefully I can keep up better now! Have a great week. Love, April
