Trick or Treat

Here are some random pictures as well as pictures of our school October Fair, which is really a Halloween carnival. Joe and I were on the committee so we spent a lot of time decorating for the big event. Sophia also had a book character day on Halloween, so she got to dress up twice.
After the fair, a street peddlar was selling pieces of this interesting looking candy/dessert. It was like chopped compressed nuts and fruits, kind of like granola. We bought some, although he ripped us off. It's really tasty. We've been munching on it all week.
Riding these little animals was fun for Sophia. She could move them herself by pushing her feet up and down.

The "Dino Dig" - find a dinosaur in the sand and you get to keep it.


A grab bag full of goodies.

Dorothy on her way to the fair.

Book character day at school. We decided Sophia would be the witch. The hat never made it to school, though. I guess we'd better check the lost and found.

Sophia is driving me crazy in the mornings. It takes so long to get her out the door, as she wants to play or she wants to do everything herself. I've been snapping pictures of our daily routine to make a visual chart. I wonder if I'll ever get it made. I wonder if it will even work!

Just imagine her saying, "No, Lem-me do it!"

No bathtubs in China. We had to go and buy this super huge washtub for Sophia to frolic in. A friend of ours uses a plastic storage box for her twin boys.

I bought this raincoat and boots thinking that Sophia would get lots of use out of them. There's a rainy season here, right? Nope! It's been too warm, but man, it's cute.
