Today, at lunch time I’ve received a phone call from Nino Salvaggio’s Market. The lady informed me that my little one won 3rd prize in the coloring contest. I was stunned, at that moment felt like I won the lottery. Although, the prize was just a pumpkin, the worth of it was meaningful to me. It was a good achievement for her at her young age. I didn’t expect this nor thought she will win or not. It’s good enough that my little one participated in that kind of contest. Though its fun, I am very thankful for this opportunity for her. However, after I hung up the phone, I hugged my princess tightly and give her a bunch of smooches all over her face. We danced, shook our booty’s and turned around. It’s really fun, it was a good feeling. Afterwards, I called up my hubby to inform him about it. He was surprise and happy to hear it. He didn’t expect it either. He told me when he got home we will go by to the market and get the prize, so we did. We went to the market and get her prize, a huge pumpkin. When we got there, we saw some of the kids picking up their winning pumpkin. You can see the happiness in their faces. My daughter doesn’t understand what’s going on. She doesn’t even know that she won. She just liked the pumpkin, played and climbed on it. Anyway, I want to congratulate my little one for winning this contest. You did a pretty good job little girl! Mommy and Daddy are proud of you! We love you! Also, I want to thank my mother in law. She’s the reason behind all this without her this memorable event for my little one wouldn’t be possible. So, thanks Mom!

We visited my mother in law and her cute dog name Ginger last Friday. We had a good conversation about politics, food and even Hollywood celebrities. She told us that she get my little one a picture of a pumpkin from the Nino Salvaggio’s market for her to join in a coloring contest. Then, when we got home I put all the crayons and pumpkin picture in the table. I let my princess put different colors on it. She had so much fun and kept showing it to her dad. My cheerful princess is proud of her work. Yesterday, we dropped by in the market to buy fruits and veggies. After we checked out, my little one passed her work at the courtesy desk. Her work is displayed on the wall together with other pictures. As a mom, I am very excited because my little one is growing up. Her progress will be my satisfaction and happiness. I can’t explain the feeling that I had yesterday, but I am so proud of her. It doesn’t matter whether she wins or not. What matters most is her ability to participate, learn and grow at her age. It is definitely priceless and fulfilling. Anyway, the above photo was just a draft. The original entry was submitted. Here’s the mechanism of the contest:

Today, we went out to shop and stroll at Meijer Mall at 13 Mile, Roseville. We bought some groceries and the pumpkin. We put pumpkin decoration in our glass window so people who pass by our house will see it. My hubby made a scary pumpkin for display in the living room. I helped him to put away the seeds. We can cook them to eat later. We will keep some so we can start planting it inside the house come spring. We are going to buy planting pots so it will be ready for next year. Every night we’re going to put a candle inside the pumpkin to make it really scary. My little one likes it though she doesn’t appreciate yet the real meaning of it. Times goes quickly, last year I was amazed how big the pumpkin was. I’m very excited to learn how to make a jack-a-lantern. Now, it’s my second year I still love it and its so much fun. Anyway, Happy Halloween!
