The Stucki's: Thanksgiving 2006

We spent Thanksgiving relatively peacefully. In the morning I took the morning off (obviously not a holiday here) and Heather and the girls and I went to Margit Island and played football with some people in our branch. It was nice to run around for a while, although I was quite sore afterward. I worked from home the rest of the afternoon and we went to the Lefkowitz's house for Thanksgiving dinner. It was nice to just show up with a couple of side dishes and enjoy a nice dinner without having to worry about anything else. There were about 10 other couples and their children there as well, so Katie and Ashley had a good time playing with them.

Quotes to Remember

We were in Munich and just checking into our Hotel and both the girls needed to go to the bathroom. We all ran upstairs to our rooms and they both bolted into the bathroom. They began to fight over which one was going to use the toilet first. They argue for a few seconds when Katie shouts, "Mom, which one of us do you want to pee their pants?!" (May, 2009)
We were driving home from church last week and I said something like, "We are going to buy a Toyota Sequoia". Suddenly from the back we hear our 4 year old, Ashley, pipe up ... "You killed my Father...Prepare to Die!"...somehow she confused "Toyota Sequoia" with "Inigo Montoya" from the Princess Bride! (May, 2009)
Ashley and I were playing a card game when she says to me, "pause the game, I have to go to the bathroom". This is when I realized the technology gap between my childhood and hers.
I asked Ashley what country she was born in (she was born in Canada). She told me that she couldn't remember, so I tried to give her a hint. I said, "you were born in Cannnn...". To which she immediately exclaimed in triumph..."CANDYLAND!!"
Katie woke us up this morning telling us we needed to get up. Heather told her that her head hurt and she wasn't going to get up yet. Katie responds, "But you don't WALK on your head, so get up!"
