Questions?

Tim brought up to Audric that we would be moving (some time in the not so far future) and Audric was really upset and then asked if he could bring all his toys with us. Of course we said yes and on our way out the door to dinner he had his bucket of planes with him ready to go. Why does Tim bring things up that make the kids worry? Like why did Tim ask Audric if he would be afraid of Mickey Mouse when we go to Disney world? Audric wasn't afraid but he is now. How about the time Tim asked Audric “Are you disappointed you didn’t get something you wanted” on Christmas. Poor kid looked depressed for the next twenty minutes thinking about all the toys he may have wanted and didn’t get. I’m sure these won’t be the only times Tim asks our kids questions without thinking about what he’s saying.

Super Julie

Not only can Julianna do the splits but she can count to twelve, tell us her shapes and colors. And the other day I asked her to write an "L" and she did, impressing a new friend. She continues to surprise us with things she learns from us and her brother even though she doesn't let us directly teach her (she's very independent).

Friends

Audric's friend came to visit. They love each other so much and were sad when she

had to go back home.

Pee spot

Pee spot #1

We have a couple more places to add to Audric's unusual places that he has relieved himself.

Imagine... the Animal kingdom has just opened and everyone is going toward the safari ride. You think asking him five times if he has to go pee before a ride he really just didn't have to go. Not until we are the next to get on the ride does Audric yell out that he has to go NOW. There's no where to go at this point. the line if we left now would be hours long. We get on the ride and he continues to cry and yell. Luckily we were the only ones in the back (that could hold about six people). Because Audric, dropped his pants and let it all out on the floor of the jeep. The ride was so bumpy that there wasn't a spot on the whole floor that was untouched.

Pee Spot #2

Imagine... the Magic Kingdom is now closed and everyone is leaving the park. We are on this large ramp going up to the mono-rail. Not a bit of room around us is empty. Audric wakes up... To find that he has to pee NOW. By that time we are at the holding gate waiting for the doors to open and get in. The Mono-rail is fast but this time the doors don't open and we are stuck waiting for it. There's no bathroom, I asked. We are now at the top and if Audric pees off the ramp then everyone would see. So I check the bag and find the portable potty we used when Audric was potty training. I wonder how many people saw Audric drop his drawers and sit in the stroller going pee.

So far nothing beats the cup pee spot!

Halloween

Tim's work had a Halloween party and Audric got to throw a pie in Tim's face. Julie would have no part in throwing pie at her daddy. We all helped decorate Tim's office. It turned out really good but not as good as others.

We have discovered that Julianna likes sticker and that we shouldn't leave them lying around.

When we had lunch with Tim, at his work, Julie found this big ice cream cone bank and couldn't keep her mouth off of it. I guess she thought if she kept licking she would break through the outer shell?

Hansel and Gretel

Hansel, Gretel, the woodsman (father) and the witch.



Audric wanted to write a letter to his friends in Japan about Halloween and he explained it so well I'm just going to type it up for everyone to read. Here it goes...

I got a B-2 Bomber with all my candy I gave to my mom (so they don't eat all the candy we make a trade). I was Hansel and Julianna was Gretel. We went trick-or-treating, that was my favorite part! I passed out candy. I saw a scary man that had a scary bone costume, I didn't get scared but Julie was scared by the scary bone head costume. We put spider webs on our house and two big, big spiders, pumpkins, a scare-crow, fog, flashing lights, Fake bloody sheets, and a glowing light (black light). When I went trick-or-treating I had my pumpkin bucket and I would say Trick-or-treat and then I would say "Danke Shane" (thank you in German). Hope you had a good Halloween.

AUDRIC

Too cute I thought. It's funny typing it out because writing it by hand took for ever and took up a whole page. I love computers.
