Why leh..?? i said.. that..?? Is it because Chloe is eating an ice cream cone .. so late..?? Or it’s so late.. she is not sleeping yet..?? Or we let chloe carry her bath towel around.. even after her bath..?? Or my house is really messy..?? Or is it .. too much lights on..?? wasting electricity..??
Pumpkins for sale at the in-laws and this year.. i know my FIL is extremely proud of his pumpkins as compared to last year. This year harvest was way better than they did last year. And thank God for it.
An ass cracked pumpkin at my father-in-laws. Seriously i donch know how it got its shape, but it is sure funny. This year the pumpkin harvest is really good. There are still loads of it at my in-laws, my FIL is extremely proud of them.. 😉 all his hard work paid off this year.. not like last year.

If you have any questions, leave a comment and my MIL will answer you . . as soon as she can.
See the brat digging into the coconut cream pie that my MIL baked last week..?? She picked on all the cream and meringue .. with her fingers.. and it’s only at Grammie’s and Grampie’s that they indulged her.. because according to my MIL .. PB and Uncle Richard also did that.. when they were kids.
My in-laws are the best ppl on earth. They take “heart” and do the most wonderful and thoughtful things for us. Though i am sure it’s simple.. but still thinking of us constantly… and trying to amuse not only chloe but me.. surely wins them the “Best In-Laws In The World” Award..!
As promised this is the coconut pie .. my MIL baked on Thanksgiving. Pretty eh.?? No she didn’t use a torch.. to make the top look this way.. she put it in the oven.. to brown it. This coconut cream pie was made from scratch.
Lighted pumpkin carved by Grampie for the lil’ brat. And of course dear Uncle Richard helped with the lights .. and wanted to give the pumpkin a blue look.. hhahahaa!! Surprisingly, Chloe seems to know exactly what Uncle Richard’s role is… and is pretty much attached to him.
We had home made pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving last Sunday… and guess who made it from scratch..?? Yup.. Grammie of course..! My MIL makes great desserts..! I think it is an “ang moh” thing eh..?? For the life of me.. I’ll never be able to do this.. muahahhaha!! Even PB bakes cookies and stuff..hhahah!! how undomesticated I am.
I’m a very simple person.. and simple stuff makes me smile. My FIL sent this over by email. And i’m sure.. it’s because it amuses him.. that a few japanese men can play so well.. with their banjos and violin and guitar.. and singing a country song. I really donch ask for much and i’m easily pleased.
