How Do you Spell...

Jonah: Mommy, how do you spell "No"?

Angie: N-O.

Jonah: ... How do you spell "N"?

How Do You Spell...?

A few days ago, Jonah was making a card for Grace and Briana's Godmother who was coming for a visit to celebrate Briana's birthday.

He drew some nice pictures and coloured them in. Then, he wanted to write, "I love you Gomo" (meaning "aunt" in Korean).

Jonah: Appa (Dad), how do you write "Gomo"?
Me: G-O-M-O.

A short silence.

Jonah: No no, in English.
Me: ??? Um, that is English. G--O--M--O (more slowly as it would help).

Another short silence.

Jonah: I don't know how to write.

Me and Angie: -suppressing laughter-

Lego Logic

A brief but cool exchange took place in the bathroom as Jonah was brushing his teeth in preparation for his afternoon nap.

Briana: Jonah, can i break your Lego fairy house (in the basement)?

Jonah: No.

Briana: (thinking for a second) But no one has a wiggly tooth and the tooth fairy doesn't come unless someone loses a tooth.

Jonah: (thinking for a second) Still no. I'm going to use it.

Briana: (more thinking) Mommy said no Lego pieces upstairs and the tooth fairy always comes upstairs when we lose teeth. So there's no point in having a fairy house.

Jonah: (brief pause, then cheerfully) Ok.

Briana: Thank you~

Jonah: You're welcome.

Interesting exchange. I could literally see Briana's brain turning gears. Very logical persuasion.

Well done.

Wonderful News

I've been meaning to post this forever and kept putting it off. So it's been a while, but still funny and so precious. Timeless, really.

We were going to wash the boys so Angie or I told Jonah to take off his PJs to get ready for the shower. He proceeded to do so.

Then as he finished pulling off his shirt above his head, he looked at us and exclaimed, "I have wonderful news!"

Naturally, as it was an unexpected response to taking off his shirt, we looked and listened (aren't we such good parents).

That's when Jonah looked at us with an excited smile and continued, "I am growing hair under my arm!" Turned out it was lint from the dark coloured PJ shirt he was wearing, but he got very excited thinking that he was growing hair there.

LOL

Trip Down Memory Lane With Briana

I can't help but smile when I watch this video; found it while clearing up some of the junk files on the computer while taking a "break" from work.

Rib Roast!

It looked much better in real life with warm heat and aroma radiating from it. I admit it doesn't look too good in the picture.

I have to stop putting exclamation marks when I post stuff about food.

But I had to this time.
It's Rib Roast!!!

Ah hem.

I couldn't take pictures while prepping due to the meat stuff (you know what I mean) and butter on my hands.

Think it turned out well. Nice and brown on the outside and just the way we like it on the inside (medium well done; I know I know).

Results?

Grace loved it.
Briana not so much.
Jonah not at all (3 pieces).
Johann, not sure.
Angie was too full to enjoy (hmmm).
Me, who doesn't love rib roast!?!?

Fine!
See if I make anymore rib roasts.

Angie and I discussed this shortly aftet dinner and I really won't. I enjoyed it but it's kind of pointless when the rest of the family doesn't.

Sigh.

Good bye rib roast. It was nice eating you.

My first attempt at making onion rings.

I think it turned out family well.

Grace loved it.
Briana not so much.
Jonah loved it at first.
Johann a bit.
Angie, so so.
Me, who doesn't like onion rings?

Fine!
See if I ever make this again.
Well, maybe I will. I sure liked it.

More for me anyways.

In the beginning...

Rings coated. Egg, flour, milk, salt, and baking powder ready to mix for the batter.

Um... that's the batter.

Ready for the, wait for it, breadcrumbs.

No point here. Just wanted to line them up and take a picture.
:)

Yummy looking. Not.

Makes me think that I don't want to end up in you-know-where. The place with eternal fire. Hmm... where did I leave my Bible...

Cutie pie
Cutie ring

Now that's yummy. At least for me it was.
