Funny Business

Andrew has to sign a pledge for his teacher. The pledge states that he promises to limit TV watching and computer use. A loud sigh: "Thank god it does not say anything about Nintendo DSI!"

Andrew is happy. He jumps around and farts. Everyone laughs. Andrew, earnestly: "I always fart when I'm excited about something!" More laughter from everyone. Andrew: "It's true!" More farting. More laughter.

Funny Business

Andrew: Moooooooooom! Where is my shoe?
Mom: Check under the couch.
Andrew, finding the shoe: "Great place to put it, mom!" Then, to Sasha: "I do that thing that mom does when I'm being bad and mom tells me I'm being good."

Andrew: Mom, my throat hurts.
Mom: How, like you're about to throw up or like you're getting a cold?
Andrew: Like a germ just exploded ten thousand atomic bombs in my throat.

Sasha: Mom, can I listen to your hairphones, please?

Andrew: I'm writing a song.
Mom: Can we hear it?
Andrew: So far, I have, "Hey, you! Yo, man, yo, yo, yo!"

Funny Business -- The Jesus Christ edition

-Sasha, why are you so delicious?
-Because I'm cute.

- Mom, was god ever alive?
- Andrew, you must be thinking about Jesus Christ.
- I thought Jesus Christ was a bad word. That's what everyone says when they're mad...

Mommie explaining a word, "It's the same thing -- the two words are synonyms".
Andrew: "Mmmm... I love cinnamon! It smells so good!"

Funny Business

Andrew, please go do your homework!
But I feel so hyper -- I don't want to just waste my energy! Can't I play for a little while?

Sasha, when you grow up, you and I are going to do all kinds of girly things together -- like clothes shopping and getting manicures...
Mommie, does this mean we are going to be sisters?!

Sasha, please put on your socks! Why don't you have them on?
Oh, daddy forgot to give them to me. He's such a несчастье!

At least she had that going for her...

- Andrew, is your teacher cool?
- No, but she has a cool tatoo on her back.
- How do you know that?
- Oh, she was leaning over one day and I saw it.

Funny Business, Sasha edition

Sasha, eating a tuna sandwich: "This fish tastes like it's dead!"

Mommie: "Andrewsha, ty kushaesh?" (Andrew, are you eating?)
Sasha: "No, but I'm kusha-ing!"

Mommie has just told the kids that, when she was little, she wasn't able to start first grade with the rest of her classmates because she had chicken pox.
Sasha: "Mommie, did your chicken pockets hurt?"

I wonder what it is...

Sasha: Mom, I have a surprise for you!
Mom: Yay!
Sasha: Close your eyes and hold out your ring! ... Oops!

Mommie vs Sword (that she bought)

Andrew: I love my new sword more than anything in the whole world!
Mommie: More than me?!
Andrew: (sigh) The same...

Summer time

More photos added to the summer 09 album.

With apologies to all the lonely toys in all those roomy bins costing all that hard-earned money

Recent toys:
- A surgical glove filled with water at tied at the end. A smiley face drawn on it in permanent marker. Likes to take naps on the couch. Mommie must constantly lower her music. It's a light sleeper.
- A 16-oz water bottle found on the playground, washed and filled. Usually wrapped in a blankie (every towel is missing from both bathrooms). Known around our house as Junior (as in "Junior is missing!" ... "Shh! Junior is sleeping!") On one occasion, offered to thirsty daddy who was playing soccer. Daddy was only mildly angry upon learning the origin of the bottle (after the fact).
- An empty spice jar, washed and filled with water. Known around our house as Jr. Junior. Not nearly as popular as Junior, but the fault lies with Mom who keeps buying 8-oz water bottles, so both kids can't claim Junior as their own. Sharing does not work too well, so Mom devised said Jr. Junior. Not the same effect, sadly.
- A rubber light green glove with soft spikes around the top. Worn alone (Michael Jackson style) day or night. Dusty, dirty and yucky, it was still loved and admired by all on the playground. Until one day, it got lost on the bottom of the garbage can. Under a lot of other stuff. Never to be found. We still wonder what happened to it.

Weekend Fotki

Check out the photos from our weekend HERE. Among the highlights: Lauren's 4th birthday party, Wiescia's dinner, backyard beers with the siblings, and the Missiurskis Sunday walk around the east side.

Funny Business

Andrew, eating a chocolate pudding: Mommie, do you know what I like about the word chocolate? It looks good, it sounds good and it has the word "chalk" inside it. Oh, and the word "lit". And the best part about the pudding is -- you don't even have to chew it -- it's all mushed up for you already!

Andrew, to his friend's mother who is helping him with the velcro on the back of his Ironman suit: (worried) Did you see my underwear?

Andrew, listening to Bony M's Daddy Cool: Hey, they're singing about daddy!

Playdates with Rebecca and Ewa

Mmmm.... nutella...

Rebecca teaching the kids how to dance The Cotton Eye Joe song

Mommie is in shock -- Andrew actually likes the bathing suit she bought him

New present from Daddy

Self-made toy (cause we have none, you know?)

This deserves its own post

Mommie: "Andrew, if you don't lower the volume, I will take you to the doctor to have your ears examined!"
Andrew: "Oh, god, is he going to look at my privates again?!"
Mommie: laughing
Andrew, anxious: He's going to give me a shot, isn't he?

Independence Day at Tricia and Dima's

It's time to get with Web 2.0 since Web 3.0 is at the door. In other words, from now on, the photos will be hosted on Flickr. Here is the link to our photostream. The 4th of July pics are there. Caution: Tricia's Crazy Olympics shots and broken eggs ahead. If you find runny yoke icky, proceed at your own risk.

Conversations

Andrew, watching a commercial for a neck-firming device: “Mom, you don’t need this; you’re already young”.

Sasha, watching a Janet Jackson video: “Mommie, why are the boys nasty?”

Sasha, watching a Michael Jackson video: "Is that a boy or a girl?"

Andrew, listening to ‘The Little Prince’: “Mommie, this book is science fiction. An elephant can’t fit inside a boa constrictor!”

Andrew, playing the Wii: “This boxing game is for fun and muscle building!”

Sasha is Five!

Happy Birthday from Mommie -- a song that inspired the name:

Daddy's Lucky Mommy Wasn't There + Sasha in a Dress (!)
