Adoption, Door Thefts and Funny Signs

A couple of Mommy Stories that I need to write down before I forget in the adventure of living in Japan.

These two bless me daily....what a joy to have young children in your mid-40's.

There has been lots of opportunities to "Sing in the Rain" around here....in fact Zander sang the song over and over and over the day we flew to Tokyo. ::snort::

Zander soundly told me this a.m. "I won't live in a house with a woman who eats squid and octopus!" He refused to be calmed down and proceeded to tell me that Miss Annette (Wing Chaplain's Wife) would most likely adopt him. ::snort::

Stacia ran around the van tonight.....to the right side.....got the most amusing perplexed look on her face when the door to the van wasn't there.....and said, "Someone took our van door!" ::snort::

THIS gets to be in the Mommy Story post because a son found it in the men's bathroom and then went BACK to take a photo for me. Ah, I love having youth.

Did you check out the drawings that go with the words? I love the skinny little "zip up" man. ::snort::

I too find it a tremendous blessing have little ones in while in my forties. They constantly make me laugh and bring such joy.

Thanks for sharing about the Singin' in the Rain. So glad they're able to use their umbrellas. :)

You're much more daring than I. Octopus and eel!

Oh I'm with Zander. I couldn't live with someone who ate octopuses either! LOL!

I sure couldn't kiss them until they had brushed teeth at least 10 times. :)
