Felt Purses

From kits that G brought back from Taiwan.

Shaving Cream

X was maniacally happy with this activity, from squirting it out of the can, to smooshing his fingers in it (lots of oohs and aahs when we added a drop of food coloring).

Means Business

Looking out the living room window, I noticed one of G's chickens had escaped the Peck&Play, and I said as much to the kids playing with their Christmas Legos. Next thing X is putting on his boots and wants help with his coat, "I go smack the chicken in the face." Presumably he thinks he's going to corral the errant on his own; I'm thinking he's going to get some fresh air (while chasing the chicken). G says it's alright if he uses a stick as long as he doesn't poke the chicken's eye out. Not a minute later, Drew sees a red plastic chair go flying passed the window, landing on the (collapsible) Peck&Play, missing the three chickens still inside. G goes tearing outside to collect her chicken, and Drew comments to me, "Those chickens know not to mess with him!"

Cookie Decorating

At neighbors house, they had all the sprinkles! Followed by several rounds of hide-and-seek, always more fun at someone else's house with new hiding opportunities.

Yep

Drew (to X playing in the sink): Yong, is that necessary?
X: Yep.

St Nicholas

6AM: The rest aren't up yet.

Quote

X (touching my tummy): There's a baby playing your belly button.

Identity

M (to X): You're Tony Stark!
X: No!
Me: Are you "Capkin Merica"?
X: No!
Me: Hulk?
X: No!
Me: Hawkeye?
X: No!
Me: Xavier?
X: No!
Me: Then who are you?
X: I big boy!

Mush

X wasn't being allowed anymore candy one evening, so he busied himself with smooshing one inside its wrapper.

Me (in Chinese): Don't do that [to the candy], who's going to eat it [now]?
X (in English): I will.

Candy!

Don't have a group photo of Halloween costumes: G was Black Widow (Avengers); BB was a ghoul with glowing red eyes; Z a witch; M and M2 princesses; and X Peter Pan / Robin Hood. BB made him a little green cap with feather, but he refused to wear it.
