Zombie Takeover

Have you guys checked out PicMonkey, yet? 
If not, you're missing out. 
It's unbelievable easy to edit photos, add text and even do some other fun stuff!
Like make yourself into a  Zombie.  If you are interested in doing that sort of thing. 

Halloween in China is pretty uneventful. 
I had fun telling my kids about Halloween in class today. 
I drew kids in costumes on the board, houses decorated for Halloween and acted out knocking on each door and saying, "Trick or Treat!" They LOVED it! 

Seeing their eyes light up reminded me why I like Halloween so much.
I went trick or treating all the way through High school! I refused to give it up. 
Let's be clear. ;p
Not in one of those, "I'm a strange highschooler that still acts like a kid" kind of way, but the "I'm so cool-I don't care" way. 

I just loved the ambiance of it all. 
Costumes. Decorations. Candy. 
All the hooplah.

We really wanted to have a Halloween party, but with our Game Night, a Harvest Party this coming weekend and a going away party last weekend, we had no time to really invest in making an awesome Halloween party. 
Maybe next year!? 

Hope you all have a wonderful and safe Halloween! 
Eat an Almond Joy for me. 
Man,  I miss those!

Amazing Things


I think it's BEYOND AMAZING that the Lord loves us so much. That Jesus died for us, to be our redemption. And shows us more of Himself each day. I think it's amazing how good He is to us.
And I'm so thankful.

I praise Him for all these small, amazing things.

I think it's amazing that my sweet friend, Kate, did a walk on Saturday in honor of her brother who was born with Spina Bifida, while her family and brother walked at home. What an amazing sister. 
I think this baby polar bear picture from Pinterest is amazing! Look how tiny he is! Crazy to think he'll grow into this guy! Obviously, the polar bear who's like a foot taller than Zach, not Zach.

Things that make me Smile

Pumpkin Patch pictures and videos of my little sister walking! 
Going on a lunch date with Zachary today because we got off work early.
The fact that she has her back legs on the couch and her front legs on the ground.
And this sweet face.
Even when she's begging for food.
Cookie trails and babies covered in cookie crumbs.
