Crazy Mexicans…

Back from a trip to Dalian China. Noa guilt-tripped me all the way.

I told him I would buy him Chinese candy, and when I bought him something from the 7-11 near my house, he called me on it.

Apparently he felt bad, because he made it a point to tell me they were really delicious after trying to feed them to Hana.

 

We are getting some pictures ready from our trip up North.

In the meantime, take a look at these.

If my children are bad I will send them to Mexico.

Yes, for those of you who are very observant, Hana is feeding the babys nose.

Noa likes to sleep with things

Apparently every day on the way home from Kindergarten he picks up a leaf and calls it “Happa-chan”.

(leaf-term of endearment.)

He takes it home, washes his hands and the leaf, eats dinner with the leaf, and then sleeps with the lead.

He also sleeps with his care bare and alien.

he is special.

Pictures for Tracy… and Pictures! (and Hana falls)

Just got home from a trip up north for some snow-action and onsen-excitement.

A great break for everyone, and Noa got to hang out with his French friend Assayez? I don’t know how to spell it.

Noa spent the majority of the time spelling things and making up words. He is in to that.

 

Hana also has a magic propensity to fall in the most spectacular manner. It doesn’t matter how she should go down, her body will twist and contort to ensure maximum damage.

This weekend she fell off the bed nose first and slipped by the pool and banged her forehead.

Nice. That’ll teach ‘er.

and now for some excitement

Noa at his “graduation ceremony”

Noa’s New Uniform

Noa’s Favourite Book: Three Billy Goats Gruff

Hana’s Favourite Book: Anything not English

Noa’s Latest Achievement: Can read big letters, small letters and starting to sound things out

Noa’s Latest Story:

 

Kiko made us pyjamas. Not decided he didn’t like them and tried to make us throw them away. In the bath yesterday he asks me why I didn’t throw them away yet. I told him that because his Mommy made them, he should tell her he likes them.

He got angry and told me that I should “throw them in the garbage. Have the garbage truck come and take it away and then squeeze them.”

He really doesn’t like his new pyjamas.

But he looks cute in his new kindergarten uniform

Noa is going to go to the money store and buy me more money…

Or so he says.

Noa and Hana get along very well.

Hana likes to do what Noa is doing. Which is usually something Power Ranger-related, or throwing herself off stairs in attempt to copy his jumping.

We went to the dinosaur museum and Noa had a great time.

I like to twitter. debicha1979

Yeah!

And for those who are counting, we will be bak in Canada at the end of April!

Yeah!

Noa and Hana Update Gallery

People are asking for updates. Hana can now give kisses. Noa is getting stubborn but is really sensitive. He wants you to ask him what is wrong…

(In case you haven’t noticed, these updates are more for me than you!) I will get back to writing for you shortly.

Kiko has also been going crazy making Hana clothes… Pictures to come!

In the meantime, enjoy the pictures…
