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!!

Maybe he's a Prince!!

I just came across this cute little video from our Saipan trip...we found this little guy in the airport there and Kyle thought he was SO cool...and Dalin whining in the background is because he's afraid that Kyle will smoosh it...I kept assuring him the frog was faster than his 1 year old brother...whether that be true or not I wasn't going to tell him that!!

So the Truth Comes Out!!

Well I was perusing one of my old high school friend's blogs tonight and came across this mommy test that she had taken and so I thought I would take it and see what "mothering style" I have...other than the one I give myself which is in the style of: "Yells to be listened to, always rushing around, and apologizing to every Tom, Dick, and Harry (well I guess that Jane, Susie, and Mary would be more appropriate 'cause I never have to deal with Dads) for what my rambunctious 4 year has done to their sweet little angel!! Anyway, here are the results in no particular order ;)

ENTP: The "Independence" Mother
  • Full of energy and confident in her own self-sufficiency and competence, the ENTP mother encourages her children—as a role model and as a teacher—to be independent and confident on their own in the world.
  • A “big picture” person, she points out options and possibilities along the way. Objective and logical as well, the ENTP wants her children to evaluate their choices and learn from the consequences of their own decisions.
  • The ENTP mother is resourceful and action-oriented. She likes going places and doing things with her children, exploring all that life has to offer. She is less concerned with rules, routines, and schedules. Introducing her children to new concepts and activities, challenging them, and stimulating their intellectual development are top priorities.

So maybe it'd be interesting for you to check out what this "all-knowing and seeing" website says about you...I mean it's on the computer it has to absolute fact right!!?? ;) Click on the title of this particular post and it will take you there!!

The Internet Returns

Well after moving yet again for the 4th time in 2 1/2 years we have internet and phone again and I can get updated...just not right now...I need to be cleaning up my newly unpacked house right now not looking at all the blorthy (kudos Leah) sites that I'd rather be doing!! ;)
