ReplyDelete"Christianne has like 8 kids and she has been so productive before 10 am. It's 11 and I'm still only half dressed, the baby is napping and the kids are at school and I'm sitting here blogging. I should go do the dishes and the laundry" LOL that's what I was thinking as I read your list.
So thankful for the translation!:) I was sitting here reading this and saying to myself, How in the world does she do it?!
ReplyDeleteBest post ever!

He calls it "Groove Groove" movie. :) he also said "the mommy is pretty". He's quite the ladies man already! Ha! Anything new to report on your 2 sweeties still in China?!

ReplyDeleteBy the way, even the translation was a lot to accomplish that early in the day...
ReplyDeleteOh, you had me rolling in the floor laughing! Thanks for that. Loved the translations too. Now you've got me feeling like a slug since I'm barely awake at 10 am with 3 kids (vertical, at Day Job, but not awake-LOL).
