Random Pics...

 Matt was making up Brynn's bed and tucked in Aubrey. She was so cute with her head on the pillow and covers pulled up. She looked ready for bed!

 Every week or so we have a random firework show that can be seen off of our balcony. Since it is a Chinese holiday we have had fireworks for several nights.

 Brynn loves her Dora band-aids Lou Lou and Papa sent her. She was excited to get a boo boo (actually a bug bite) on her cheek so she could wear a band-aid. She loves getting ready with me in the morning. She almost got the lipstick on her lips.

 Brynn talks all the time. Since this blog is suppose to serve as a scrapbook of her childhood, here are a few things she says that we think are pretty cute. She calls piggy tails- pippy tails (after Pippy Longstockings). She thinks flies are called- Shoo flies. She has finally decided to now call herself Brynn Perdue after months of being Me Du.

 Matt's school has a new little sandbox by the playground . The other day I told her she couldn't play because we didn't have a shovel or anything to play with. Yesterday we went to playground to play. Brynn insisted on bringing her purse. When we got there she asked to play in the sandbox and I told her I was sorry that we forgot her shovel again. She went straight to her purse and took out her shovel. 



 This year she can make it up the climbing wall.

 This little sweetie hung out at the bottom of the slide!

 We went to our old neighborhood and visited the market. I bought vegetables from the same lady every week last year. I have missed buying from her this year, but Walmart is just so much more convenient now that it is a five-minute walk from our new apartment.

 Pumpkin has become my new favorite ingredient this fall. Chinese pumpkins look a little different (see it in the top right corner). I put it in my rice cooker and 15 minutes later it is cooked and ready to be made into something yummy. I have made pumpkin pancakes, oatmeal, muffins and even pumpkin chocolate chip cookies.

Brynn wanted her picture taken by the snakes as she called them. I think they were eels, the other buckets are fish and there was even a basket full of frogs. We were hungry, but decided to eat something else for lunch :)

  2. Aubrey is getting so big and is beautiful!! Neat idea about putting pumpkin in different foods - will have to try that. We do love sweet potato pancakes and I bet pumpkin ones would taste similar.
