The End of Halloween

Trick or Treat was the last song of the Halloween month.  I tried something different this year, and did some make up on my eyes...B said ' oh mom you are so cool i love u! '  - i felt good to be a cool mom.  it was all worth it.  not sure other grown-ups approved it though. haha..

Bass Pro Shops

Our Saturday started off well. B got his new belt from his Karate practice. YES!

then we went shopping for daddy. Bass Pro Shops is an amazing store -"it's not shopping; it's an experience!". We had lots of fun there, and daddy got what he wanted. he is so happy!  Ahhhh... shopping makes everybody happy.

Pumpkin Carving

This was what B wanted for his Halloween Pumpkin to look like.

This was my favorite...

Daddy started to work on our wishes.

getting there...be patient

Tada - our 2010 Halloween Pumpkins!

we love them! and we love him!! 

B's 4 Halloween Looks

He had his very first Halloween when he was 45 days old.

His Nainai brought this lovely costume with her when she visited.

He was Boo-ed by daddy! hahaha...

at his second Halloween, he was a Dalmatian. We picked up this costume on the Halloween week - it was a last minute shopping. we were not happy about the quality and fit. but he looked really funny and cute in it. 

 he had loads of fun that Halloween. he fell in love with Halloween since then...

when this picture was taken, he had a candy in his mouth...

words can't describe what it feels like when i looked at these pictures.

on his 3rd Halloween, he was able to express his wish well and he told us he wanted to be a race car driver.

  He wanted to be Superman for a while. I found the last Superman suit in his size in the store. I think I was more thrilled than he was.  later that night, he told me sincerely, 'mommy you are my best friend'.

Saturday Halloween Costume Parade

We started to celebrate Halloween a week earlier. This year, lil B is Superman.

He had a fun time with his regular friends in a beautiful park nearby.  the weather was perfect too...

then he got on a mini van of my friend's, enjoyed a ride with 4 other boys to YMCA for another parade.

Kids were asked to make scary faces for pictures. lil B did good there. 




Parade started, he walked around showing his Superman's super muscles in proud.

 
a side note: two girls were doing model photographing in the same field where kids ran around. but they seemed not bothered at all.

the model girl must have changed her outfit in her car?? i hope she did not do that in the porta- potty.

i see,  the photos were aimed to be sexy...from what she wore in this cold Autumn weather. because some of the mommies wore down filled coat and leather coat at the same temperature!

Banana Republic Cardigan

We went to Linlin's house on Sunday. two boys were having a great time playing Chuchu train, while Grown-ups chit-chat and browsing the H website!  But instead of buying things,  i was considering to take Linlin's advice and cancel the H bracelet i bought the night before. This morning, I picked up the phone and canceled the order. I felt good about my decision.   to leave your cash in your bank is always much better than buying something not right for you or you don't really need/love it.

did i pull off a 20 bucks Banana Republic cardigan?  here is the truth-

 oh so focused... playing Chuchu train is a serious thing, you know.  

A Good Day with Friends

After lil B's Pre-K class, we rushed to the mall to meet with Linlin and her family. Then two more friends joined in and we had dinner and chit-chat together in Linlin's house.

B took this picture for mommy. I found myself smiling in all of the pictures he took.  the power of a little cute boy is unmeasurable.

Linlin tried out a Chanel Tote in the store. it looked fab with her outfit. 

 B was curious about the wire attached to the bag she was carrying, lol.

 lil B is almost always a good sports. he is happy and he is up for anything, even the thing (straight) men hate - strolling in the mall for hours.

 i spent 20 more minutes to get ready with this hair-do. i have too much hair - they need to be ironed and tamed with styling cream if i don't put them in a pony tail.

two stylish women passing by - i was quick enough this time to take a picture. The blonde was quite eye-catching. her hair looked overdone or something. it didn't look very natural.  actually her shopping mate was just as pretty and stylish.  but when i only had time to look at one person,it was the blonde!  "blondes have more fun "(or do they?)
