Monkey Bars and Korean Pants

Okay that last post was supposed to tell you about our fun little adventure in Seoul today but instead I got sidetracked as you could see by the 4 flippin' long paragraph post I just gave....okay well we go up to Seoul to look at the furniture store up there to see if they ever get any new King size bedroom sets in since our BX here in lovely Osan has a deathly aversion to carrying such a creature!! Well to no avail once again on that front we go to the Electronics Market...now doesn't that just sound like a bowl of cherries with three kids and a very eager and electronic savvy husband with money in his pocket (no no that money came out of an ATM) just burning a hole in his well I guess ATM card.....anyway so we go there and while Chris is "shopping" the two older kids and I just rest on a little curb next to one of the little vendors and this Korean man in the booth over comes and starts to play with Dalin...well this is all fine and good until he takes Dalin's empty drink bottle and won't give it back until Dalin kisses him...oh yes you heard me correctly KISSES HIM!! Did I emphasize this was a MAN!! Anyway I told Dalin could blow him kisses and make kissing motions towards this guy but no this man kept pointing to his cheek and telling Dalin to kiss him...I was about to give the man a nice big ol' smackeroo...and I don't mean the nice all fuzzy like kind...I mean the I will knock your flippin' cheek off if you don't get it out of my 4 year olds face!! Aren't I so sweet and genteel!!?? Anyway, finally Dalin gave him the tiniest of pecks and the man gave it back only to pick on and play with Dalin for the next 20 minutes while we're waiting for Chris.....
NOW to the pants part, there is a pretty nice little park right next to the base gate that we told the kids if they were good at the market that we'd take them back to it, well we did on our way back and Destinee has become quite good at monkey bars and so she was trying to show off a little for Daddy since he's never seen her most recent "feat of death-defying skill" and so she's going along and lo and behold there's a pair of pants hung up on a hanger right smack dab in the middle of the monkey bars...so Chris and I start looking around for the naked Korean drying his pants on the children's playground...lo and behold he's nowhere to be found...but as Destinee is getting very impatient for Daddy to watch her these words come out of her mouth: "Daddy, watch I can do the monkey bars with the pants on them." Falls under that listing of; "Things I Never Thought I'd Hear Someone Say." So there you go for one more of our enlightening Korean adventures!! ;)

Trash and Wheels

Well we went up to Seoul today, as is our usual Saturday activity when we don't know what else to do (even though we should do what the Ellisons do) and spend all our free time at Everland since we have the season passes just like they do-but of course being the very organized and put together mother that I am-I "thrifted" 3 out of the 4 passes that we have-now now before you totally stop reading this particular post because you can't imagine how anyone could be so stupid...I had put them in the pocket of a jogging stroller that we had that was almost brand new given to us by someone who'd used it like twice and then "gifted" to whoever wanted it...okay anyway well unless you have a gigonormous car that can fit a put together jogging stroller with its front wheel that streches to Pyongyang (capital of N. Korea) oh yeah...it's that long!! then you have to dismantle the front wheel and so we did so on one such fun family outing to Everland and on the way home Kyle found the front wheel to be a wonderful play toy...maybe he was pretending to drive in his car seat...who knows what goes through a 1 year olds mind to make a dismantled wheel become a play thing just as I have no idea why he finds garbage so appealing either...maybe us adults are just too "adultish" to enjoy the simple pleasures of life...such as garbage!! ANYWHO, stop blabbering Ruth, (though it's so hard for me to do) on the way home from this trip to Everland, Kyle found the wheel and began to play with it much to our contentment because he was content until we get home to find that he has somehow "misplaced" (more like chunked onto Destinee's head in the back seat while she was sleeping and never knew probably) the spring that attaches the wheel to the stroller...well we clean the car out looking for this microscopic little spring...much to our surprise (yeah right) to no avail and so therefore this makes the like new stroller useless....so we put it next to the Thrift Shop Donation bucket so that they can throw it away or whatever they want to do with it...just so I didn't have to throw away a perfectly good jogging stroller (or it would've been if well...you know) anyway and so days later we decide to go to Everland and cannot find the other three passes just in time to remember they were in the pocket of the stroller!! SO who knows where they are...well I'm pretty sure we ALL know where they are but nobody wants to admit that I could be that stupid!! :( Sad times!!

ESO Problem

On that last post there I must have had an ESO problem (Equipment superior to operator) with the operator being me...but I saw this test on someone else's blog and thought I'd take it!! Always good to know I can be pegged as a MALE superhero....!!
