Thanksgiving




We spent the day with friends Kathy and Jeff and their 7 year old, Zach. Makana thinks Zach is the best and we love spending time with Kathy and Jeff, so it was a good day! Cody came with us and we all ate and laughed a lot. Kathy took some photos to use for our Christmas cards and we took some of the kids too. Cody stayed over until Friday night and it was good to just hang around with her again.




On Sunday when Gil was off work we needed a little late lunch before I cooked dinner. We stopped at a Sonic and Makana said she wanted a corn dog, when we got home and she was eating it and singing "dip, dip, dip" as she dipped into the ketchup she announced, "I don't like the skin!" I look over and she is peeling the corn part off the hotdog. I told her that was what makes it a corn dog and if she did not like it she did not have to eat it, but that she should just get a hot dog next time. She did not say anything, but after eating the hot dog she went back and ate the "skin" by itself! Crazy girl!




She often sings when we are shopping, (well any time really) at the top of her lungs she will sing her ABC's, Twinkle Twinkle, some of her Chinese songs or just that she "is a princess" or "we are happy". Then she acts totally shocked and shy when strangers look at her and tell her she is cute. Of course this is really funny when she is wearing her ladybug sunglasses upside down on her forehead and carrying her green lame purse that Carol gave her!

No Halloween trick or treating


This picture is from the last day this week that Makana felt good enough to go to school. She has had a fever and a cough all week so mom did not get anything done! 3 costumes and no trick or treating. We stayed home and carved a pumpkin, made caramel apples and hoped trick or treaters would come to us. None did. We are still in the apartment and I guess that most of the kids go to neighborhoods to trick or treat. I am glad I did not buy very much candy as I seem to be the one eating it! We were told this week that our house will be ready in December instead of January. So 3 days before Christmas we will be moving! I am excited and worried too of course. So much to do!
