The Stucki's

St. Patrick's Day
March 17, 2008

We got back to Dublin the night before the actual holiday. I had to catch a 6AM flight (not fun), so I missed the actual St. Patrick's day festivities, as simple as they were. Heather colored the milk green and the girls breakfasted on Lucky Charms, an exotic cereal here, since you can only purchase it in one store (and then only if you are "lucky" enough for it to be available) and it costs about $15 a box.
(Note to anyone ever coming over to visit...feel free to throw an extra box of lucky charms into your luggage).

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!"
