Fathers Day

HAPPY FATHERS DAY PAPA!
We love you heaps even when you drive us crazy!
We started our busy day at Chuck E Cheese today - Khai had a play date with his buddy Zack this morning, and when we arrived, we were extremely happy to find it nearly empty - at most, there were 4 other families there - no crazy crowds, loudness, pushing, shoving..  Phew!  After three hours of fun and the place starting to fill up, we cashed in our tickets - over 1000 in total between the boys!  We headed over to Mose and Sassy's for a BBQ for the remainder of the afternoon.  A laid back dinner with everyone, it was really nice to have both boys there as well as Mose home.  The heat definitely got to all of us though, and Khai conked out a good two hours before his normal bedtime - I have no idea what to do with all this free time!! 

Khai made mugs for Papa and Mose.

I Scream You Scream

 
With summer officially just a few days away, the ice cream truck makes its round through the neighborhoods.  Khai has heard the trucks.. he's just never gotten ice cream from one.  Today marks Khai's very first ice cream truck purchase ever!  He chose a drippy, melty, lemon/cherry Iron Man pop. Mmmmm.

Thirteenth

I'll randomly look at the calender on the wall in the kitchen and the 13th has crept up on me. And every single time I start counting how many months into the year you are. Today you are exactly 3 years and 8 months old.  Almost 4.  Tomorrow you'll be 16, then 18, then 25...   I want you to stay 3 years and 8 months forever sometimes. You're growing up far too fast. Boooooo.

Khai Goes To The Movies. Again.

So this would be Khai's 3rd trip to the movie theater.  His 2nd time was to see Shrek The Chapter. As with his first visit, he was great throughout the whole thing. Spoke in a whisper when he had questions and really..didn't even have that many questions.  Our 3rd trip was to see The Karate Kid.  We went with Ma Moy, who hadn't been to a movie in ages - so it was a nice treat for all of us.  Khai's been pretty excited to see the movie and had been hiyaa'ing all over the house, but about an hour into the movie he got fairly restless. The popcorn was no longer holding, I forgot to bring any other snacks (bad mom!) and he had finished his drink.  The final fight scene was quickly approaching, meanwhile Khai was saying "I'm done, I want to go home".   I was able to lure to bribe him into staying though! I let him take his shoes off. That worked for about 15 mins. Then socks off bought me another bit of time.   It was a GREAT movie.. and as we walked out the door Khai said" I really really liked it!"   Riiiight.   Though he has been hiyaa'ing me ever since.

Dr. Khai

I had a really bad day. .

Khai gave me a cup full of Hotwheels and said drink this mom, it'll make you feel better.  :-)

Round and Round

One of Khai's favorite pastimes... spinning around until he's completely dizzy.

Going to the Movies

How much sweeter could it be? Khai's first time at the movies and he gets to see Iron Man 2.
He was psyched! He wore his Iron Man tshirt, brought two of his Iron Man action figures, got hooked up with the required bag of popcorn, twizzlers, and gummy sweet tarts... and though I had concerns that he might become restless or scream out IRON MAAAAANNN! a million times or talk throughout the showing, I am proud to say that none of this occurred and he sat and watched the entire movie! (i'm sure a little credit should be given to the popcorn..and Iron Man).
Yay!

Mothers Day

Khai's not big on drawing or coloring - or at least not that i'm aware of. Its quite possible that he does more at school than at home, because at home its all trains, video games, action figures, and the like. For Mothers Day though, he decided he'd draw me a picture. And appropriately for the occasion, he opted for a flower. His usual drawings are generally scribbles - but today he said "mommy, no scribble scrabble" and proceeded to draw, with quite a serious expression on his face as he focused hard on the petals and stem and leaves. Scribble scrabble to the average eye... awesomeness to a Mommy. :-)

Flower from school. Awww.
