Making a full of myself - once again!

Because you think that after almost 10 yrs here I would have a better Enlgish and not get lost in translation as often as I still do!
For about a week we being playing a game here trying to get the top score.
When you match so many pieces you get a dice. The most dices you have the better off you are, but at times you have non or 1....  So whenever I would get just one single dice Noah would say "you got a die" and I was getting so mad at him for saying die over and over again. (thinking he was saying die = dead!)
He insisted the "die" was another word for dice - it meant one single dice! And his teacher told him so!
At that point im not just mad he is saying "die" over and over again now he is making up stories! He is lieing!

I was pressuring him asking for him tot ell the truth and telling him "tomorrow 'm going to school and asking Mrs Miller if that is true!"

He was so upset and still insisting that that was true! When Dan got home from work - faster then I could I go:

"Soooo (with a very sarcastic tone) Noah told me Mrs. Miller use the word die instead of dice! Can you believe it? i'm gonna go talk to her tomorrow!"

Dan says : "that is right - a die is a single dice"

Surprised - chocked and embarrased I wuestion him over and over again and ask if he isn't joking or lieing and then I just had to admit to Noah i made a full of myself! Apologized and kissed him until he bagged me to stop! =/

Spell checking with style!

Have you washed your China lately?

My husband was horrified by this conversation – I think its great he already knows the difference lol

Noah and I were talking about not going potty when you need to and how you may not pee in your pants blah blah blah and if you do pee on your pants you need to shower so you don't smell like pee and he says:  “When you were a kid and had an accident did you always washed your China?”

Me: My China?

Noah: Yeah – I can't remember the name – it rhymes with China... your peepee!
Me: Oh you mean VAGINA???

And by then I was laughing hysterically and he was so embarrassed and trying to make me stop laughing – I had tears were roling down my face! He says:

Oh that is right – vagina! China is the country!

The next day we have another conversation .... I just about ROTFL!!!!

N: Mom – I need more hand sanitizer (on his little key chain holder on his back pack) – I have being pushing the button – you know... a lot and every time I do it I have to use it.

Me: (Puzzled) Button? What button? (Thinking it was some sort of button to open the door – like the ones from wheel chair on the stores – but yet trying to think where in the school does he presses button?

N: Well, when dad has gas he pulls on his finger, for me it's a button here ( pointing to his hips) – when my “sides” hurts I press the button so I pass gas! Then I use the hand sanitizer!

Im probably the only that laughs at them but I can't help it!

This child cracks me up!

Happy Birthday Noah bear! Cool guy who makes my day funnier! 4 years old today and no better way to laugh - with you then with these pictures!

So I got to download the pictures from my little camera and I find abput 25 pictures of Noah! Here there are 14 of them, some have me and Ben in the back so I'm thinking he took pictures of himself! Even his arms positions look that way, but still I can't figure it out when and how he did this! LOL It's just funny all around!

XOXO to my bear

Mojo Monday for Feeling Unapreciated =P

April Fusca Day! =)

Ben keeps "getting" Noah on april fools day so finally Noah says back at him:

"We are not going to a park we are going to the dentist and you are gonna have surgery! - Hahahahah April FUSCA day"


Now let me say - what a harsh joke for a 3 year old to come up with!! And the "Fusca" was just hilarious!
FYI - Fusca is how they called the old WV Beatle in Brasil! Is that kid funny or what?

A must see - HA!!

Did you see the post about Yoga? Well - if you did this will be very funny to you; if not it will be funny anyway!!!

Item for sale at Big K for $19,99

... and have no time to post enjoy this funny "Chinese Lesson"

Noah's favorite song

I sure am happy my little guy has good taste for music but  I'm getting tired of listening the same song over and over and over again!!! =oPPP

a true story

As you know - the funniest and strangest things always happen to me -

This is NOT  funny like saying the baby was "pussy" instead of "fussy" to this old lady that didn't know I had no English OR embarrassing myself with a cop or any other one of my other stories - but I do want to share this, I liked it!

So I woke up and left early to go do this job up in Blue Ash this week and Dan took the boys to school. As I'm driving down on Reed Hartman I see this "Deer X" sign. I was sitting on a red light - laughing at myself because when I first moved to Cincinnati and my English wasn't that great!!! My friend from Brasil (that clearly was just as clueless as I was) asked me: "What does deer x" means? And I was like "It's probably a name of a school around here! LOL

I was thinking - Xavier = X DeerX school or something!!! LOL

Of course - months later when I learned that the X mas "crossing" I was cracking up alone while no one else was finding the funny part of it!
So I was there sitting - light turns green and in my mind I was thinking " houses on the right - houses on the left - there is just NO WAY that there are deers around here! that must be an old sign and

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH (that is the sound of my breaks!)

Right in front of me - 1, 2 3 no wait! 4 - 5 - 6 789...

I guess that is it - no here comes more...
10 11

yes - Eleven pretty big dears crossing inches from my car on the middle of Reed Hartman!
So - yes, it was pretty amazing! I wanted to put on reverse cause I was a little afraid they would go on top of my car but by then there was a line right behind me - I look the guy next to me and he is on the phone **IDEA** my phone has a camera - but of course by the time I got it to start they were gone... but it was just a pretty cool thing! =) And of course I will never judge signs again - if it says there are deers - yes there are deers!!! Lesson learned for me ha!!!

I did

I did walk my 3 miles today. Ran on the cemetery til the "yellow gate" (Maybe 0.1 mile? haha)

Lots and lots a whizzing - my breathing is still very heavy - chest and sinus very full and congested.

Benji said last night while I was laying down if him trying to get him to bed:

B: "Mom - What is that noise? Do you hear someone talking?
Me: No baby, it;s not talking, it's mama's chest that is whizzing - blah blah blah.... I explained
A few minutes goes by - he was trying to get to sleep and says :
"Mom, You can go sleep with daddy now; I can't sleep when your chest is talking" =D

And MAN! I still miss my scale SO bad... I might have to bring it back home this week! =]

An interesting day – I must make a record of it!

It started very turbulent with very disrespectful boys and naughty attitude. I sure did chose how the day was gonna turn out – and made sure to let them know they must go along with me so this could work for us.

WE were expecting the 365Portrait to come and they never showed up! Great! And only called on the last minute to let us know! =oP

Haley came about 10; Benji had a good time... they ate lunch incredibly well. Tati came for a few hours, with Thomas while Monica was at camp and we had a great time – relaxing and chatting our elbows off.

To top it off – after an awesome dinner dad cooked we headed to KI "just for 1 hour" (I really wanted the boys in bed by 8pm. But it ended up being a "get it all" trip to Ki with all the fixings! Funnel cake & Dippin' Dots ice cream (1st time the boys had both) and a second dinner (not that we needed it – lol) and a funny "80's show – live!" that it was actually very good.

We got to ride at least 4 rides the kids haven't done before, it was very nice! We even got to ride all of us together in the same seat for a few of them.

Noah who does *great* with using the potty at home had 2 accidents at KI this evening (luckily I had 2 extras sets of undies and shorts)

So of course – got home an had a bath – put away the 4 – yes 4 loads of laundry I have done today and I'm about to o to bed and have no dirty dishes! What a day! =)

,

Funny Stuff:

1 We actually got to ride a couple of rides on the "other side" of KI – It's so cool the boys are getting tall enough so we can enjoy some new rides together!

2. Benjamin – after he brushed his teeth said " Mom, you know what? I forgot to "sloss" my teeth! (Yes – he did mean Floss)

3. It was the first time I ever saw a child fall asleep while you are taking them out of the bath! Literally!!! I got the towel around him, he was laughing AWAKE while we were talking about the whole "sloosing the teeth thing" – got to the bedroom, just next door to the bathroom, went to dry him and WHAT? He is asleep!

4. At Ki – I saw a Chipmunk steeling food from a guy's hand! Is family didn't see – they were just sitting next to him, the only ones that saw I think it was me and him – it was HILARIOUS!

There were a couple more things that were so funny too but of course – I'm brain dead right now and can't remember!

Good night you all! =))

In the way to the beach...

The Ecovias are the roads that take you to the Coast here in the state of Paraná (I guess in other states too), they are tolled roads, and in the way to Caiobá we crossed the biggest area of Atlantic Forest untouched. They have the best outdoors ever and I didn’t take many pictures thinking for sure I would easily find them on Google. Well – I was wrong, I spent quite some time searching for it and nothing=oP
They had huge outdoors with all the animals you can find on that Forest – pictures of them and some information about a new animal every so often.

Also I loved their campaign to a saver way to drive. They had the coolest outdoors with a very nice font and sentences like:

“Once upon a time there was a drunk driver. The End”
“Once upon a time there was a driver talking on his cell phone. The End”
“Once upon a time there was a high speed driver. The End”

All the beauty around and the fun outdoors sure made the trip a whole lot more fun. Benji enjoyed looking at the “Marumbi” and other mountains...

The Shoe Box

A man and woman had been married for more than 60 years.
They had shared everything. They had talked about everything.
They had kept no secrets from each other except that the little old woman had a shoe box in the top of her closet that she had cautioned her husband never to open or ask her about.

For all of these years, he had never thought about the box, but one day the little old woman got very sick and the doctor said she would not recover.



In trying to sort out their affairs, the little old man took down the shoe box and took it to his wife's bedside.
She agreed that it was time that he should know what was in the box. When he opened it, he found two crocheted dolls and a stack of money totaling over $95,000.

He asked her about the contents. When we were to be married, she said, my grandmother told me the secret of a happy marriage was to never argue. She told me that if I ever got angry with you, I should just keep quiet and crochet a doll.



The little old man was so moved; he had to fight back tears. Only two precious dolls were in the box. She had only been angry with him two times in all those years of living and loving. He almost burst with happiness. 'Honey,' he said, 'that explains the doll, but what about all of this money?
Where did it come from?'

' Oh,' she said, 'that's the money I made from selling the dolls.'

A Prayer:
Dear Lord, I pray for Wisdom to understand my man;
Love to forgive him; And Patience for his moods;
Because Lord, if I pray for Strength,
I'll beat him to death, because I don't know how to crochet.

This one may not sound funny when you read – but it was:
J – Do we have a power bar?
Me – I have chocolate bars??? DO you want one?

LOL LOL LOL
He was talking about a power cord – I guess this wasn’t much about English but more like “blond” brain…
