The Zhao Family

It's almost that time of the year again and for our FHE, we did pumpkin carving and it was fun.


While I was cleaning up and putting things away to setup the table and Abbey cooking dinner, Clayton wondered off by himself under the dining table and found a box of Cheerios. And knowing it is Cheerios and can't wait for dinner, Viola!! instant dinner. So instead of cleaning him up first, why not grab the camera! Very nice. Good job Clayton.


This year, we had a special guest with us-Adam. I consider him Chinese but he may not look too Chinese to you.


This is newest addition to our extended family: Ethan. He's about two months old and already enjoying pumpkin carving with us.



Last year Brennan didn't mind digging into the pumpkin at all but this year, he's learning too much and knows who to ask to dig the pumpkin instead of getting his hands dirty.


Poor Clayton, look at the tear in his eye..and mamma didn't even let him put the top on. :'(



Ok Ok, mamma made it up and let Clayton play with the insides of the pumpkin too.




If any of you need a food tester, we got you a man: Clayton. He pretty much puts everything in his mouth. I think he's extremely smart for his age b/c during dinner and he sits on his chair, he would occasionally throw food on the floor and knowing that mamma can't clean everything up, he crawls around the house and clean up the leftovers. I know I know we have a human vacuum cleaner and he's 100% efficient.


And he will use silverware too if provided to taste the food.


Brennan on the other hand wants nothing to do with the wet, slimy insides of the pumpkin. I think this shot expresses well of this thoughts about putting his hands inside the pumpkin.



Watch out!! Dr. Brennan Zhao is coming soon!! The concentration on this boy, he can probably be a surgeon when he grows up. Just watch the knife.




To end it all, our theme was the pumpkin being scared. Boo!
