Happy Valentine's Day

Arent we just too damn cute? =) Grandpa babysat so mike and i could go out to a really nice restaurant by ourselves. they had really cool plates and good food. we had a seafood appetizer for two, i wouldnt touch the tuna, but the spring rolls were great. after that we each had some soup won ton for me and chicken corn chowder for mike. and for our main dish; mike had the chiliean sea bass atop noodles with a seasame ginger sauce (quite reminiscient of korean jap chae) and i had braised short rib ravioli. it was all really good, but i think that it is a once in a great while experience. we did skip the dessert because nothing seemed that special, so i had a peanut butter cup at home.

We rearranged the living room yesterday and we had to unload the kids bookcases to move them. i never realized we had sooooo many book. phew, that was alot of work.

Anya's Firtst Tooth!!

So, it happened. yesterday, I pulled out anya's first baby tooth. it was barely hanging in there and her gums were starting to look sore so we made a command decision. i have to tell you that embroidery floss works better than dental floss for tooth pulling. Anya wasnt upset with the whole situation until she kept spitting out blood. it took a bit for it to stop. now she walks around with her tooth in a tooth necklace. i left a note for the tooth fairy to keep anya's first tooth and when i woke up it was next to my bed. =) this was a big step in parenthood i think.

asia's new swimsuit

we had to get asia a new swimsuit, thank goodness target is way ahead of the season. mom suggested that they have their swimsuits out for winter vacationers. anyway, here is a video of her "jumping into the pool" and counting to 5.

shaping up to be a handful

Wednesday was an eventful day with Asia. after we took anya to school asia said she wanted to take a shower with me so i was getting stuff ready in the bathroom when asia came in a said she needed help taking her shirt off. actually the reason was that she had tried to cut a dirty spot out of the shirt with scissors. oops. when i told her i had to throw it away she was very upset, so instead i patched it up.



an hour later, we were at playing and she wanted to call me on the phone. so i dialed my number and went into the laundry room. she didnt actually talk to me and pushed some other buttons. i told her to hang up the phone and we went around doing other stuff. moments later the phone rang and asia reluctently gave me the phone. imagine my surprise when it was the delaware state police asking if we were ok because someone just called 911. i said no, i was just my daughter playing with the phone. the guy asked how old she was and i told him 2. that was the end of it. i dont think we are going to be reading them that 911 book anymore.

needless to say i wasnt quite up for cooking dinner that night, we went out for chinese buffet instead. =)
