January to May 2013

I noticed that I haven't been recording the cute exchanges/dialogues/comments the kids would just blurt out every  now and then.   They still says things that make adults smile, but I sometimes thought of writing things later and it would not sound the same anymore.  I have been so wonderfully distracted with my quilting that most of my me time is spent watching/reading on quilting/sewing.

While shopping yesterday, the hubby was thinking how Home Depot was splurging on great shopping carts for the customers. On his way out:
Home Depot associate: Let me cut the tag off this cart for you.
Hubby: Did I just buy this?

Ok so it has become a joke in our house:
hubby accidentally said "aso" while playing with languages he knows
Me: oh you just said dog in Filipino, it is "Kaww" in Fukian and "iro" in bisaya
hubby: so in Chinese it is "cow" for dog. That is why it's hard to understand you sometimes...
Me: No, it's not Cow, it is Kawww.

Me showing Vyn some boy clothes I might be able to sew for him.
Vyn: No I don't want clothes, I want a bag
Me: But I can't find patterns or tutorials for boy bags.
Vyn: Some things you just have to make without people teaching you how to do it.

While contemplating finishing his karate papers:
Vyn: Why do I have to write papers?
Me: So you can prove to Master Angel how much you have learned already. Then you can promote to higher belt when you test and show him you remember all the moves.
Vyn: What a waste of brain space.

Me: Why don't you play a board game or something that is not too physical so you don't get hurt.
