Late Wordless Wednesday

The Magic of Chinese Delivery

The story begins with
(One little miss with a cold
+One mama that was not feeling much better
+ One son just getting over a cold)
- One daddy at work late
= Chinese Take Out!

To be completely honest it doesn't take that much for me to be convinced that it is a Chinese Take Out night, (proof of this is that the person that answers the phone at our favorite delivery place knows my voice) but today was an exceptional example of the absolute need for me like many other moms to have a Chinese delivery place close by at all times.

Back to the story, last Wednesday (also known as little Miss's birthday) when my sweet son came down with a nasty cold. Mr. Sweet shared his cold with me and by Friday I was feeling miserable. The weekend was spend with bouts of sneezing, mild fevers, and many attempts to nap.

Fact: The worst part of a weekend with a sick mom is that all those errands that are left 'till the weekend inevitably are left undone.

Which brings us to Monday...when little miss woke up and came in to my bed to snuggle with a a mild fever and very stuffy nose. So Monday brought with it an empty fridge, a still under the weather mother, a sick little miss, and a beloved Chinese restaurant that delivers!

Thank you China Wok without you this day would not have been possible!

Are you now too cool for frozen yogurt?

One of our friends moved back to China a bit a ago in search of adventure.  We were all really sad to see him go and have missed getting to hangout with him. Luckily, we have been able to keep in touch on-line & such. Today I was reading his blog and let's just say that he sure has found adventure!

Check out his post about ending up on a Dating Show. 

I randomly got on this TV show...

What I want to know is now that you are like a big celebrity and all, are you now too cool to go out for frozen yogurt? ;) 

Well, if the answer is no next time you are back stateside we will have to have a repeat of your last visit! (Indian food and all!)

Late Wordless Wednesday

It's Good to Be 5

My very sweet little miss is now 5. Can you believe it? Really, I can't believe she is actually 5 already. Soon she will be in kindergarten and next college. Ok, we might have a few years before college. Still I find it is simply amazing how fast time has gone by. It feels like only yesterday she was an infant, snuggled up with me late at night, breastfeedingt and now she is a big girl.

So, you ask, "how did we spend this special day?" Well, we had grand plans to spend the day gallivanting all over doing tons of special things. Best laid plans an all- it turned out, due to the big brother guy being sick, our plans were slightly altered . My little miss took this change in the day rather well all in all. Secretly, I think she rather enjoyed having her big brother home with her on her birthday.

The better part of the day was spent at home playing with paper dolls, watching a movie, creating potions in the sink, all the things normally done on Wednesdays. (Wednesday's she doesn't have school.) Things got a bit more exciting around 5:30 when Grandma and Grandpa stopped by with her brand new special big girl bike!

After riding the bike for a bit with her daddy little miss hopped in the car headed straight to Build-A-Bear Workshop. Build-A-Bear has become a sort of tradition for little miss and her daddy to do on her birthday. She had her last birthday bear in hand to get a fancy new outfit along plans for with a new bear and outfit. (Sick big brother and I stayed home and hung out.)

Two fancy bears, a very happy birthday girl, and silly daddy headed to California Pizza for dinner and than home for cake. Upon seeing said cake little miss exclaimed, "Daddy that is my dream cake, how did you know that was the cake of my dreams?" It just so happens that the cake little miss dreamt the night about having the night before her birthday, was the exact cake happen chance her daddy picked out at the store.

So all in all a wonderful birthday was had, who needs plans anyway!
