goodness...

All good things must come to an end, so with the end of my single parenting episode, I bring you a few other good things of my week. As always, my number one good things--Claire and Mya. I could eat these two up. They are simply adorable. Claire was wearing my boots around. She says , "Momma, I got your knockin shoes on." We got snow Thursday night to which Claire was convinced that Christmas must be coming. She said it several times that night and Friday morning. I just hope Daddy knows the gifts she'll be expecting to fulfill her Christmas wishes;) Mya loves, loves, loves to sing. Claire does too, but Mya seems so little yet that I eat up every word. Her latest song of choice, Three Little Monkeys, to which she then adds "na, na, na boo boo. you can't catch me." Again, I eat up every word. It is adorable, but I think nearly everything these two do/say is adorable. My little whiz, Claire...I discovered a new game for her. Rush Hour, Jr. I was a bit worried that it would be too difficult being that it is for 6+, but she's sailed right through to the advanced level. She is mastering her way through any challenging traffic situation. She'll be ready for the Korean roads very soon ;) I can't wait to follow her successes through life. She is a little smartie, but I suppose every parent thinks that of their child too ;)
New jammies. Love them and their jammies. After several tries, Mya continued with her cheesy grins, so this is what we got.


Mya hiding under the chair. She loves to hide.

Kumquats. Delicious. I'd never had them before, but they are absolutely delicious! Korea definitely has the best fruit all year round. Don't know how they do what they do, but I love it.

Our kiddos love fruit. Thank goodness because fruit is nearly the only healthy thing these kids will eat. They absolutely detest vegetables. Oiy.


Blackberries. These were also so very delicious and HUGE! We've been going through fruit like it is going  out of style. Yummy.

Mya agrees. Yummy.

Another cheesy grin for your viewing pleasure. This girl has attitude like no other. I can't wait to share it with her aunties.

its wierd that you mention kumquats (sp) because I saw them at OUR grocery store this week and they looks so pretty and yummy but I had no idea what to do with them or what they taste like. So, please - do tell!!!! (Instead I bought boring old Strawberries)

Love love love the pajamas. Way too cute. How funny was claire to add in our conversation yesterday that she had a blackberry too. Nothing like life in the eyes of a child. Love you guys, j

Erin--kumquats. My info was taken from a Korean man who was far from a fluent English speaker, so take it for what it is....he said they are like little oranges. you eat the whole thing--peel and all. (I clarified this point to make sure he was meaning what he was saying ;) they do taste like oranges and have little seeds inside them. Very yummy and less mess. Definitely a must try fruit.

Thanks Kara. I am going to go to the grocery today so I will be sure to pick up a little package and let you know what we think :)

A post

You wanted it, you asked for it, so here it is. A post. Hopefully this post will satisfy all your desires. I am not writing about the apple of my eye, Claire, but of the other apple of my eye--reality tv. I love it! Right now I am getting my fill of Big Brother. I have even lured Chris into my dark place. He mostly watched last season because Dick was such a jerk, but Chris is hooked. He's a dedicated viewer once again this season. Sadly, he was a fan of Matty who was kicked off a few weeks ago. I don't think I have a favorite. I find them all to be so obnoxious, yet I watch. Go figure. I obviously need some more excitement in my life. Girls who wear butt showing shorts, screaming matches, verbal abuse, crazy eyes, back stabbing, boys running around in their colored tighty whiteys (if tighty whiteys are colored, are they still called tighty whiteys?)---all in one episode! It is a gold mine. My second can't miss show is Housewives of Orange County or New York City. I really

Progress

I used to be prompt about scrapbooking in Claire's album. After seeing my sister's pictures piled up three children later, I was determined not to have the same fate. I am sure it is difficult for some of you to believe, but since Claire has been born, my free time has been limited. Really, it has. So, our pictures are finding their way into piles too--5 to be exact. However, I am thrilled to say that I finished (ok, they aren't completely finished, but nearly. I only have journaling to do.) six pages. Yes, that's right, I said SIX!! It was a major accomplishment. Here they are for your viewing pleasure. Only 5 more months left to get through....any volunteers? Jessica???

Claire, Mya and the NEWS

Chris and I had this elaborate plan on how we were going to share the news with our girls. I ordered adorable shirts, which took forever to get here. They were supposed to ship Oct. 4, but didn't. I am not a patient soul at all. I love to share good news and spread the excitement. We went to a German doctor last week for a gender reveal ultrasound. He was 99% certain of his selection. Claire and I began looking at clothes online. She asked questions about why we were looking at baby clothing, but thankfully, my sister has a little guy and a baby girl who is due in December. They are my perfect excuses for all things baby! Claire asked nothing more and began pointing out things we should buy Jackson or the new baby girl. Our weekends typically involve partaking in a local event or just relaxing, which means a trip to the KMCC Mall. Saturday we went shopping or at least looking. Once again, the girls became excited, choosing items for Jackson or the new baby girl. I decided I cou
