This is pictures of the older kids we teach. The last one is of me and Rose. She always want to hold my hand, and she calls me mommy. She is another one of my favorites! She is so cute and always makes me feel good!


























We went to the families house and it went really good. we went and picked ping guo, (apples) and we even packaged some! the place where they grow the apples is disgusting. there was trash everywhere. but, the apples are so much better here than home! maybe the trash adds some extra flavor. Well after that we went to the beach again, and then the hot pot. there, i are a crab..it was so gross. like i are the brains and intestines and everything....they just cracked open his body and sucked it up! i had to force myself to eat it..and again, they kept putting more and more food on our plates, so we were stuffed again! after dinner they took us to a mall, where they insisted on buying us Halloween costumes, so we got a mask and witch hat. then, the insisted on buying us more stuff! like we said we didn't need anything, but the mom was offended that we didn't want her to buy stuff for us, so we got some candy and a little game thing, and this thing to wash our face with. they wanted to buy us books and lip gloss, but we said it was to much..these ladies are crazy! it was fun tho. they gave me the recipe for dumplings, so I'm gonna try and make them for you guys when i get home...we will see! it's a rough translation of the recipe..














These are my Spaghetti-O's that forgot and left on the shelve before vacation

Ijust had to show you how much skill i have at cooking now! I have given up my spaghetti-o's days and moved on to bigger and better things..! hahaha OK maybe not, but i was so proud of me and Sarah so i had to take pics. The other night we were bored, so, we looked on our food shelf for something to eat! and had a brilliant idea, we decided to use our pudding mix to make a pie! So we went to the jaja and bought some cookies and crumbled them up for a pie crust. (china doesn't know what gram crackers are yet...) we didn't really know what we were doing, we just kinda guessed what to do the whole time, but it turned out to be really good!! we put the pudding in the cookies crust we made and then stuck it in the fridge and wha la! it was fabulous.
