Chatting with the local repair-man
A few weeks ago some folks came to do a little maintenance on our roof. Of course Yo had to inquire as to why people had to go up on our roof, and what they were doing. Fast-forward to a few weeks later; Handy Manny makes an appearance, peers up at the ceiling, and describes what he's up to.
Recent Yohan-isms
Ammama to Yohan: Dada plays drums, what does mamma play?
Yohan, without missing a beat and completely poker faced: "The saxophone"
===
At church, during the service Yohan is playing with spider man in the pews. To the world at large he asks the profound question: "Where's his bum?"
===
"Mika can talk now, mamma. She have teeth."
===
At pre-school, Teacher Martha asks him what his favorite Thanksgiving dish is. His response? "Oranges."
===
The young man goes to wash his hands in the bathroom. He closes the door behind him and we hear him say: "I want some privacy"

Circus tricks
I have a feeling the grandparents are not going to be too amused with this; Mika seems to enjoy it though :)

Kids and Chaos in California
It's been a week since our trip to CA to see our new baby cousin Jonathan and generally chill with family. Ummm... did I say chill?? What was I thinking? It's taken me a week to recover from the week of three hyper boys and their toys, one sweet newborn who screamed bloody murder at times and one wobbler girl who wanted to participate in the chaos while clinging to mama the whole time.
At the end of the day the kids had an awesome time and were spoiled with all the attention from appapa and ammama. Yohan was a high of being on a 24x7 playdate and Malaika, the only girl, basked in the limelight and love from her aunt, uncle, grandparents and cousins.
This was my first time alone with the kids on a flight, albeit a 1.5 hour trip. We had a few tears and threats and some pleading but overall things were okay and no one threw up.
Mamma had people-withdawal symtoms on her return but the handsome husband and the beautiful Fall colours have cheered her up considerably.
