So, a couple days ago my 2 y.o. managed to find her way in our bedroom as we were having a "moment" shall we say. Miette climbed of Vathana (BF/dad), who was on top of me, and she was just giggling away about the dogpile, bouncing on us being silly. We convinced her to go out into the living room (baited with promises of Dora episodes) and as she left the action started back up...hey, it's unfair to leave unfinished business. Miette came back in the room and yelled at Vathana, "No hit Mumma!" She scolded him pretty bad and of coarse we were busting out laughing. She wouldn't leave again until she was satisfied knowing that he wasn't 'hitting' me. My parents had a similar situation where my sister walked in on them and asked my mom why she was bouncing on daddy. Hmm...I think I'm kinda proud that I now have a story. Miette seriously did scolded him good, though. Soooo funny. I wish I could have gotten it on camera.

While watching a bit of TV this morning, an ad for High School Musical 4 came on.

Aden said, "That show's going to go on forever."
I said, "Why do you say that?"
He said, "Well that's what the 4 stands for. 4ever!"

I don't know if this is really all that great...but I think it was. We were all going to get groceries so I could make my BF's mom some Indian curry. My daughter found some snow goggles in the back of the car, so, naturally, I sized it to fit her. She wore them proudly (which covered 3/4 of her face) and stuck out her thumb and said, "I sic" being all bad ass. My BF proudly teaches her this stuff...well, the funny part is that his mom, said, "oh, Miette, you sick? I'm sick too," and she continued talking about how ill she was. Miette just kept proudly sticking out her thumb explaining how "sic" and cool she was.

That's very cool. I was pen pals with my cousin as a kid too! We are still close now and email a couple times a month just to keep in touch.

The entire family is now fluent in LOLspeak, but the kids took it a stage further this morning and were playing "FAIL" in the snow. The aim of the game was to take a flying leap onto the snow tube/sled thing and FAIL so spectacularly that it's actually a pass

So we asked the sprogs if they actually knew the story of The Nativity/the birth of Jesus. two said no, and one said "yes, wait, well I know he hung himself up on a cross or something"...

oops! seems we're slacking in our religious education

Mind you this happened several years ago. My wife and children went to visit some friends who have a nice swimming pool, but no kids. “Guy” is a serious germaphobe and does not appreciate kids who germ his home up. Well, we were having a swim party and while we were lazing around the pool, our kiddos were enjoying the shaded pool during the hot day. All of a sudden Guy’s wife yells out and we look and see our four year old standing at the very end of the diving board. I immediately jumped up thinking he was in danger, then stopped when I saw he was still as a statue on the end of the board. Several seconds went by when I finally realized what was going on…he was reenacting a real-life statue. In other words, he was peeing in the pool and looked just like a little peeing boy statue. I started laughing my head off. Then shortly after I realized my germaphobe friend was not very happy, at all. Our guess is he didn’t use that pool the rest of the summer!!! We were embarrassed at first, but now find it quiet humorous and can’t wait until he is dating to we can get him back!

I was informed that our little helper-elf was working on the cookie-making project,
and asked her mama whether she could kindly have her "bullcraps." Yeah, I guess I say that.

Also, the other day she was singing a little song: "Dangit, dangit, dang-it! Dangit, dangit, dang-it!"
