Halloween in 2010

Sunday was the Halloween day and QuocNam was exciting to go trick or treat (he kept saying go Chucka Cheese). QN dressed up as spiderman and went to SouthShore Plaza with Christine (dressed up as dancer). The mall was full of kids walking around with different costumes. Walked around all stores for about 2 hours (2pm - 4pm).

We then went home and relax a little until 6pm and then went around the neighborhood to trick or treat. The night was a little cold. A lot of kids went out and QN filled up the candy bucket.

Apple picking at Honey Pot Hill Orchards

Last Sunday, our family and QN's cousins (Alex, 2 Thien, Christine, Cindy, Anthony) went to apple picking at Honey Pot Hill Orchards in Stow MA. Weather was a little cool...and no one wear warm clothes (except for QN)...

We bought 4 bags (15 for each...kinda expensive), and then took a ride in the ro*m truck to the trees. We went to pick pears. They tasted very good. Mom brought some muoi ot for dipping too. I used to be allergic to pears, but when eating them, they seems to be ok to me. We then went to pick apples, but folks seems to like pears more.

We went home at 5pm and everyone was happy. QN noi di vui, met nhung thich thiet :)

This week ba cua QN is staying in Quincy to help out with taking care of the boy. Our inention was to potty train QN, but he doesn't seem to understand the concept of "going to the bathroom"...

QN is getting closer to daddy and creating some bonds between father & son. During this week, I have to work at home and QN is behaving well. A few time, he wants to get up and play with daddy, but I told him ba fa?i lam viec, so QN gave up and back to his own world...he takes nap daily from 1 to 3 or 4pm...
