The kids' birthday party

Due to our crazy schedules and the fact that the kids wouldn't know any better, we had their birthday party a few weeks after their actual birthday.


We decided to get each kid their own "colossal cupcake" and decorate them with their favorite characters.

Elizabeth had Dora:


James had "cars" as it's called around here. (It's Lighting McQueen from the movie "Cars")



Joshua had Diego:


Then we took the extra cake decorations and Daddy made a cake for the adults:


The kids had a great time, and I believe all the adults did too!



Holy Crap-it's been a month since I've written!

Gosh, it's been so long since I've written...do you want to hear all my sad stories of what I've been so busy doing? Probably not---so I'll just tell you a few funny kid stories.


The other day, after going potty Joshua and said, "penis... squishy" then he grabbed his penis and said, "squeak squeak". Like it's a dog toy or something...

This past weekend baby James was not very happy with me (for who knows what--something minuet I'm sure). Then he told me, "Mommy go to work. Konstantin here" (Konstantin is our au pair in case you forgot, you know, our "manny"). I tried not to take it personal. I'm sure there will be many more cases like this in the future....

Another James story-one day he asked me for something (let's say it was milk) and he said "milk, Robot" Like my name was Robot. Ok, that's cute. But then he said it again and I was thinking he was saying it a bad way. So I told him my name is not Robot, it's Mommy.


The next day James asked for something (let's say it was pizza) and Daddy said, "Say 'Can I have some more pizza please?'"

Then we found out the TRUE meaning of Robot:

James said, "Can I have more pizza please RO-bot?"


RO-bot = BEE-otch

Just the way he said it-it was like, ok, Bitch, I'll play your game, I'll say the words you want me to say, if it's going to get me some more pizza.

So of course, this is our new running joke around here. Daddy and I call each other Robot (when the kids can't hear us, of course).

Try it, it's fun! :)


Then there is Elizabeth. Poor baby wants to be "just one of the guys". The other day she went potty and then stood up and grabbed her vagina and shook it.

Daddy asked her what she was doing and she said, "I'm shaking my snake"

I am too scared to ask her where she heard that from! :)
