Happy Moon Festival!!!

This weekend, Mo learned to swim with her head under the water, and ride her bike without the baby wheels.

How about that?

The annual retreat for my PhD program was a great excuse for us to go to Taichung.

What the presentations were about, I don't really remember now.

But I clearly remember Mo's happy face after we played every game in the night market and won a pile of prizes.

We spent the last day in Taoyuan for the ghost festival.

That banana chiffon cake we made with Grandpa was perfect.

"My husband" came to me to accuse me that I make Mo cry for fun when he is not around and I mentally torture my own daughter.

One could never hurt a woman more by calling her a bad mother.

And the man certainly uses his weapon well.

Well, I guess the zoo has become my comforting place.

A walk with Mo in the zoo always cheers me up.

We swam with thousands of rubber duckies!!!

It was like a dream came true.

Mo also got her first ukulele that Saturday night.

It has been one of mommy's crazy fantasies to play together someday.

It was totally stupid to see the movie with the crazy crowd on Sunday, but Mo and I couldn't wait any longer.

As seeing one of the movies wasn't satisfying enough, we bought the Monsters, Inc. DVD on the way home.

I am not sure if any 5-year-old asks for steak dinner with candles, but at least my 5-year-old does.

There was no where to go with the pouring rain on Sunday, so we played the night market ring toss game at home.
