The Asian Tourists ... April 11, 2009

We have experienced a number of times where Asian tourists (mostly Japanese) want to take pictures with the kids. They seriously get so excited and truly seem to enjoy the experience. We have always accomodated. The Keukenhof garden was no exception as a number of different tourists that ran into us asked us to stop and allow them to take some photos. I decided to take a couple of my own.

She was about 4-5 months old and every time we had her posed, there were other tourists asking to take (or just taking) pictures. Your girls are beautiful--I can understand why they would want to capture that.; Apr 24, 2009, 6:05:00 AM

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!"
