here kitty kitty...

cat here kitty kitty! Here kitty kitty cat here kitty kitty! There are cats in the jungle and cats in the city! Some are really big and some are itty bitty... Yeah ever since Bing decided she wanted to be a kitty cat for Halloween we have watched the episode of Barney where they sing this song about 100 times! I have it stuck in my head and even find myself humming it without realizing! At first she wanted to be a purple princess, then a ladybug, then got the idea for a "titty tat" then even switched to a doggy up until a few days ago! But decided at the last minute she still wanted to be a kitty cat! Yes, my girl is fickle! Every year with Bing just gets funner and funner! She had a great time Trick or Treating and eating candy! She's her mamma's girl, alright, she only likes the chocolate! Even though it was freeeeezing Bingy kept saying more houses, more houses! The funny thing is she ate a little bit last night, but has not even asked about her treat bucket today! I have it put up and it will probably take her until next Halloween get through all that candy! That is if her brothers and daddy don't eat it up, first!

wedding pics...

My niece, Elise, and her new husband, Grant, had their wedding last weekend and Bingy had a blast! She thought my niece was a princess (she looked gorgeous enough to be one!) and we were all invited to her princess party! Bingy danced all night until she passed out on my shoulder about 9pm! We all had a fabulous time and I was so happy to finally get an updated family pic!

Bingy had a wonderful Gotcha Day! Even though it was only her big brother Adam, Gary, and I home to celebrate, she loved it! We started out the day by making Dora cupcakes, first Bingy requested cupcakes with purple frosting, but then saw a thing on Nick Jr. on how to make Dora cupcakes, so we did! We didn't follow their intructions exactly, but they turned out cute just the same! Even though they looked a little like a cross between Dora and a sock monkey Bingy had so much fun making them! She is becoming quite the little pastry chef! I made my famous Asian pork roast and rice for dinner! Now, before you go and give me tons of credit, I must confess that all it is is a roast with Hoisen sauce dumped all over it a bag of baby carrots then braised in the oven! Bingy loved her gifts, too! She got a book of her Gotcha Day I made on Shutterfly, a doll we bought in Guangzhou and some crayons we bought in Changsha! She also got the Tinkerbell DVD and some Tinkerbell jammies! All in all it was a great Gotcha Day! These past two years have been nothing short of incredible, exhausting, amazing, and fun fun fun! Still can't believe she is ours!

Bingy and I went to Chicago to visit Marie and Sarah last week and had a blast! We took the train and Bingy loved it for the most part but we both got a little fidgety! Getting there took 6.5 hrs, but Amtrak turned coming home into an 8 hr ordeal! OIY! I am not sure we will take the train again, but we had fun and hope to go back soon! I will post more pics later!
