"You're slacking off boss.."

Asian husband said to me, because I haven't posted in a few days. 

In my defense. We had TWO Thanksgivings this year, which is actually one less than we had last year...and I hosted one at our little bitty two bedroom condo with one oven, so I'm still recuperating. PLUS, it's my birthday tomorrow and it's the big 3-0 so I probably will be out of commission for another few days or so. 

BUT, I didn't want my LEGIONS of fans to be without my wit, charm, and humor.....so I just wanted to let you know that I'm not dead or anything. Just slightly limp. So FEAR NOT! I will resume my blogging with lots of pictures and stories, because you know the holidays brings out the crazy! 

So stay tuned!!!

Holla, HOLLa, fOund a DoLLA!!

Asian husband and I took little asian baby to the park over the weekend. While we were there I found a dollar in my pocket!! Upon finding this treasure I proclaimed...

"HOLLA HOLLA FOUND A DOLLA!"

I immediately told asian husband to take a picture of my new treasure.

However, looking at this picture it doesn't convey the sheer joy I felt from finding the dollar. It actually looks like a slightly suspicious looking hand pulling a dollar bill out of her pants pocket like some drug deal about to go down....or something.. I guess next time I'm just going to have to take a picture of me smiling while holding the dollar squarely in front of my face to get my point across clearly.

Baby M's birthday!

Last weekend, little asian baby and I went to Baby M's first birthday! I call her "baby" because she is the youngest in our little play group. It was a great birthday and Baby M's mom out did herself with a great carnival theme. Here are some pics of little asian baby playing at the party.

(I only really took pictures of the kids in the bounce house, because outside of the bounce house, little asian baby decided her feet were not to touch the floor..so high maintenance! GEESH!!)

oh and as always SHE'S HAVING FUN I PROMISE!

It was a nice autumn day. FINALLY get to break out her fall coat!

don't really know what happened here....

The complete fall ensemble. I KNOW I KNOW...CUTEST BABY EVER!

It was a really fun day! Thanks Baby M and family!

A trip down memory lane!

So I know I haven't been blogging for very long, but I have been noticing that my page views are slowly creeping up and I'm getting closer to reaching blogger stardom. I might have to shut everything down soon, to avoid over exposure like Paris Hilton and the like. haha.

SOOOO I decided to list a few of my favorite posts of all time, just in case you're too lazy to keep clicking "older posts" after every "new" post I write.

See how helpful I am??

I hope you guys enjoy!

Is that a blow up doll??

Don't lift that! Baby's gonna fall!

Don't take a bite of a pregnant lady's food!

"Excuse me Mr. Pharmacist, but where are the REGULAR condoms?"

" I think my eye makeup remover isn't working..."

"Oh that...umm..that's papa's...privacy.."

Loony.

"We almost drowned her remember?"

driving miss little asian baby.

I recently had to drive an hour in bumper to bumper traffic to get home after a visit to my mom's house.

THIS is what the back seat of the car looked like when we got home....

THIS is what asian baby looked like...

As you can see both the car and little asian baby DID NOT enjoy the ride. I as well, did not enjoy the ride. Driving with a toddler is challenging enough ( CAN I GET AN AMEN!!! ) but throw traffic into the mix AND IT'S A NIGHTMARE!!!!

Some parents have tv's built into the back of the seat or portable video players...but this momma has tissue boxes, wipes case, sunglasses, cd's and anything else I can get my hands on to entertain and quiet baby down.

Even just thinking about the drive still exhausts me. I....can't....even....type...any..m..or...e.

I think she's trying to say "good job"!

Like any good parents, asian husband and I are THOROUGHLY convinced that little asian baby is a genius. And also like good parents, we "pretend" to understand everything that little asian baby "says" to us. (Isn't that what a lot of parenting is anyway? Nodding, smiling and making overly enthusiastic reactions when your child puts one toy out of 100's that she has in the box that's not really the toy box to "clean" up? But hey, at least she FINALLY got the concept: Put thing in box. YAY!) So when little asian baby says things that even remotely resemble the concept she is trying to convey, we have a celebration and immediately start "decoding" what little asian baby just said.

So lately she has been saying "HA PA!" and then clapping every time she feels she has done something good. She'll hand daddy a toy and then say "HA PA!" and clap. She'll feed me a cracker and then yell "HA PA!" and clap. Pull a toy off of the bath tub wall "HA PA!" clap clap and so on. Naturally we assume that she is conveying joy and pride in her recent action. But we couldn't figure out what "HA PA!" sounded like.

"Maybe she's saying YAY?" I said

"No, it's definitely two words..." asian husband said

"Maybe it's HURRAY?" I said (like how I did that? Yay, hurray, you can see I also am a genius myself!)

"No, she knows how to make the ayy sound, so it's not that. I think she's trying to say GOOD JOB! Except she can't say good or job, so it just comes out as "HA PA! Well, Hao Bahng in Chinese does mean SUPER....." asian husband said

"....???......??...?" asian husband and I thought

see?

genius.

Still in diapers and already learning two languages!

Where can we get an application for Mensa?

Little Asian Girl and the cup of pretzels...

So there was this cup of pretzels that I purchased as a snack for little asian baby and myself when we went to the mall with Little O and her mommy. We had gone into a local restaurant to have lunch, and at this particular restaurant they had a "stroller parking" area. (Basically you leave your stroller unattended at the front of the restaurant so that you're not like blocking the ENTIRE walkway while you're eating.) And being the paranoid nut case that I am, I was trying to take EVERYTHING that I had brought or bought during the mall trip with me to our seat. In the process of frantically gathering everything, I knocked over the cup of pretzels and little pretzel sticks went FLYING across the restaurant floor. Mortified, I profusely apologized to the hostess, who actually seemed totally oblivious to the now walkway of pretzels and tucked my tail between my legs and went on to our seat.

Lunch was pretty uneventful. Well, as "uneventful" as a lunch with two 1 yr olds can be. As usual Little O behaved perfectly well, while little asian baby threw all the food on the floor, poured salt all over the booth seat (some of which somehow ended up underneath my layer of leggings..so I walked out with grains of salt stuck to my ass), lost her shoes, lost her sock, and finally managed to wiggle her way behind me and out of the booth leaving her standing on the floor with no shoes on.

Like a said. Uneventful.

As I shoved the last bite of tortelloni into my mouth, we headed back out to our strollers. The pretzels had since been swept away along with the memory of the annoying asian girl who spilled them in the first place! And as I opened the hood of the stroller to put little asian baby back in, the LID of the cup came out of nowhere and fell on the floor sending little broken pieces of pretzels that had been trapped in the crevices all over the floor. AGAIN!

Frantic and afraid to be banned from the restaurant forever, I hurriedly picked up as many pieces of darn pretzel I could find and scooted out the door AS FAST AS POSSIBLE! I told Little O's mom what had happened. We had a laugh and parted ways. I made it to the car in one piece and started loading everything in.

And as I closed up the stroller to pack into the trunk, ANOTHER little shower of pretzels came out of nowhere and littered the parking space.

*siGh*

Damn pretzels.

As the saying goes, if I never see a pretzel again, it'll be too soon!
