Since the economy has gotten worse and money isn't as GREAT..we have tried to curtail our spending habits (well, mostly MY habits).<br /><br />In an effort to save money on our weekly enjoyment, we visited <span style="font-weight:bold;">China Bear </span>restaurant in Houston...this is the one off of I-45..the place is HUGE..doesn't even look like a restaurant. First of all let me say that I <span style="font-weight:bold;">HATE buffets</span>..especially Chinese buffets..Seems like they put the junky chinese food out there and the dark meat for chicken. <span style="font-style:italic;">EWWWWW</span>!!!!<br /><br />So as we are walking to the entrance I notice a difference from where we usually go...the people...I can't believe that I just realized that I live in a kind of <span style="font-weight:bold;">bubble</span> as opposed to the rest of the Houston area or Houston. The Woodlands is a <span style="font-weight:bold;">Bubble</span>...just a different kind of people or something..hard to explain. WE WERE the MINORITY there that's for sure!<br /><br />There's a big fish pond when you go to the door with a bridge over it..it is kinda stinky and WAY over Populated with FISH!! I didn't like this..the kids did..Also when you walk into the restaurant, there are bunches of tables full of plants for sale, like Bonsai's..and even chinese dresses for sale.<span style="font-style:italic;">.OKKKK</span>!!!????<br /><br />The food was BETTER than I expected. THERE was actually WHITE meat for most of the Chicken dishes..lots of FRIED chicken...just in different ways. The wonton soup was good. THE best part though was the Cheesecake :)<br /><br />One thing that often just baffles me is that I see people piling their plates with crawfish and crabs. LOL!! and that's it..so you go to a chinese restaurant to eat boiled seafood? To me, that's just NASTY!<br /><br />WE sat in a booth..should have sat at a table..it wasn't very clean..the wall and cracks next the booth were DIRTY...OF course I didn't say anything because I think Scott would have gotten all aggravated saying that it wasn't good enough for me or something..it's just I don't like DIRTY places..I mean imagine that kids have probably just touched the walls with their greasy hands and chinese sauce has splashed all over it and it is just NEVER cleaned. NO way that they clean it..AT least clean the cracks of the seats...It was difficult for me to sit there and to have my purse sitting there also. BUT the BEST part had to be when I picked up my purse to leave...there was a small bug crawling under it or around it...whatever. WTF???!!! I killed it with my napkin and left. I think it was some sort of Weavil? I DESERVE a Medal for keeping my mouth shut today.<br /><br />NO I don't have any pictures of the place..I got enough stares so I figured taking my phone out to snap pictures would just be too unbearable.<br /><br />If you ever VISIT Houston, DON'T eat at China Bear..or IF you do, get a table and don't forget to eat the Cheesecake :)<br /><br />Total Bill charge was somewhere around 43 bucks for a family of 4~~too expensive..I would have left the bug as their tip, but since I didn't say anything...it stayed.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaWmLGMLNSAQ0-RubZbRa5m6HSBV2LLxYtVbjX9L4zoGZh8-p5o8_drSw2kkUyOyTB3Y4gLBtHHMhwfX5La44tRzHPV7JjJoV0ISE_ecedgwcpVTa1DRuJjMM0dAnxQumD-XLtnnglB_c/s1600-h/fortune+cookie.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaWmLGMLNSAQ0-RubZbRa5m6HSBV2LLxYtVbjX9L4zoGZh8-p5o8_drSw2kkUyOyTB3Y4gLBtHHMhwfX5La44tRzHPV7JjJoV0ISE_ecedgwcpVTa1DRuJjMM0dAnxQumD-XLtnnglB_c/s320/fortune+cookie.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5381059853856252786" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">FORTUNE: Next time, eat somewhere else.</span>the life of Denisehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06377855699377570326noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4096652002982556936.post-28593824076056957152009-09-08T08:34:00.004-05:002009-09-08T08:43:32.545-05:0010 Years<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihY9ubNPFpHrdMGpdz64OJWQUcZsz4JiwRGpLGcjPggaPPUFJ0_wP2mseTgogCfFc4DqFDU_V0Epg9x0D7DWDAdxoR8-oSVXtFcUD7wmBEo0kYBfPyVZ8z2GuLIkqgn2xGSx5I0XksPKA/s1600-h/anniversary.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 237px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihY9ubNPFpHrdMGpdz64OJWQUcZsz4JiwRGpLGcjPggaPPUFJ0_wP2mseTgogCfFc4DqFDU_V0Epg9x0D7DWDAdxoR8-oSVXtFcUD7wmBEo0kYBfPyVZ8z2GuLIkqgn2xGSx5I0XksPKA/s320/anniversary.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5379091503108085874" /></a><br /><br />Wow!!

Worked up a big sweat and then daddy met us there and it ended with Ryan getting a cookie from the Cookie Co. LOL!<br /><br />Yesterday we attended our weekly B&N story time! Had a blast! Miss Sam was soooo much fun today...the theme again, was <span style="font-weight:bold;">FARM ANIMALS</span>..soo funny! and all of the kids were making animal sounds prompted by Miss Sam! It was hilarious! There were lots of kids too!! I think my 2 fav books were the book about animal butts...well butts said in all kinds of ways, like behind, back side, buns, etc. LOL! AND the one with the animal sounds..soooo CUTE! The cookies were so warm, they were breaking apart too (I wanted one soooo bad). The craft was making your own barn or farmhouse with animals..Ryan colored his animals and MOMMY drew the barn. He put the glue on them and stuck them on the page..MOST of them were in the AIR though?! haha.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8X0zFCV8uQAvnAbbE1UkAOULFL2mRRRC1QxhYoKbnxYNN4zfOfNatZpSqK7ZNF8pzT9KoiKSW5XroPSjmQDhF-4PDM0aeWPxaOWfTFfbELZyVkIKWeD-ivZ2oTsTE6d7x-AZfUN9ctIw/s1600-h/farmhouse.jpeg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8X0zFCV8uQAvnAbbE1UkAOULFL2mRRRC1QxhYoKbnxYNN4zfOfNatZpSqK7ZNF8pzT9KoiKSW5XroPSjmQDhF-4PDM0aeWPxaOWfTFfbELZyVkIKWeD-ivZ2oTsTE6d7x-AZfUN9ctIw/s320/farmhouse.jpeg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5310129406747251138" /></a><br /><br />The end to that day.......naps as usual in the USUAL spot!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-Eg1B6DiCcMdISJ0xftDsnIPGzFnd0lktcOdrk_25GztC-3KTcXPpBg1V92FsxlqbiU6HWgyQ9rH-Ur9S01TPgJOMr6Olcfk5_XTS9lId69b_7mZH9SmK5HshIIsdJ1mT0KWNM8wayJ0/s1600-h/232323232%257Ffp53254)nu%3D3236)672)558)WSNRCG%3D3234478%3B88(6%3Bnu0mrj.jpeg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-Eg1B6DiCcMdISJ0xftDsnIPGzFnd0lktcOdrk_25GztC-3KTcXPpBg1V92FsxlqbiU6HWgyQ9rH-Ur9S01TPgJOMr6Olcfk5_XTS9lId69b_7mZH9SmK5HshIIsdJ1mT0KWNM8wayJ0/s320/232323232%257Ffp53254)nu%3D3236)672)558)WSNRCG%3D3234478%3B88(6%3Bnu0mrj.jpeg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5310129588661527634" /></a><br /><br />Noah is finally finished his SAT's..phew!

THIS time he had them cleaned. He looked so adorable with his little sunglasses on. OF course, this took <span style="font-weight:bold;">MUCH coercing</span> from Momma to get him into that chair...I want to say that it took about 20 minutes or MORE to get him in it. And after he was in it, he held <span style="font-weight:bold;">both</span> of my hands the entire time! AND he was also promised a BIG surprise from the Toy store...so after it was off to <span style="font-weight:bold;">Toys R Us</span> for that NEW Toy! LIKE He needs another TOY!! HIS teeth were GREAT!! Dr. Ragsdale said that his teeth look Wonderful!! AFTER a LONG time there, he finally decided on a <span style="font-weight:bold;">Handy Manny</span> tool set! HE LOVES it!!

It is for 3-4 year olds and YES the parents CANNOT stay! I was fearful of even trying this as Ryan is VERY clingy and has NEVER been left ANYWHERE before...HE was very hesitant at first hiding behind my leg..I walked him there and he started playing with some dinosaurs and above that was a painting of MONA LISA and he asked what that was and I told him that it was a painting and it was MONA LISA...well he then told me that he does NOT like MONA LISA. LOL!! HILARIOUS!!! I told him that I was going to get us a drink and would be back in a little bit, before he knew it..he continued playing and I slipped out the door. I was just waiting for the teacher or the museum to call me that my child was crying and would NOT stop...the never called! Upon going to get him (the class is only 1.5 hours), he ran to me and the teacher said he did <span style="font-weight:bold;">WONDERFUL</span>..that he was a little sad at first, but was fine afterwards! I was soooo super proud of him. He said he liked it and wants to go back again!! The class was about Chemistry stuff..and they made some goop and other fun sticky things..he even drew a Volcano!! I am going to send him to class there every week. This week is about Farm Animals! I sadly do NOT have any pictures :(<br /><br />We are still attending weekly story time at B&N..WE LOVE IT! Ryan is doing so well. He just goes to sit in the front on the front bench (even when other kids are there) and he listens!! 2 weeks ago, Miss Sam read "<span style="font-weight:bold;">I STINK</span>"...it was about a garbage truck and Ryan LOVED it!!

<br />Ryan is so big! He is a big 3 year old for sure! He weights 44 pounds and wears a size 11 shoe. I am not sure on his height..we didn't make it to his 3 yr apt yet. Ryan is a kind, loving boy. He is aggressive but not around girls. He loves to be outside, he loves sports, trucks, cars, and superheros! He loves snuggling with his blanket and watching cartoons. He loves ART projects and loves to use scissors. He mostly engages in imaginitive play and I never know what he is goiong to say next. He keeps our lives very active and interesting. His favorite color is green. He knows all of his colors and can count up to about 15. He sings the A-B-C song. He has never been left anywhere without me (daycares, schools, etc). He loves to ride on his scooter and always wears his helmet. He also watches football with Scott. LOL Ryan loves to help out with cooking and LOVES decorating Pastries. I am sad that he is getting older...for soon he will not look for me as often...but Ryan is my heart and I love him...Happy Birthday baby boy! <strong>

<br />The kids had fun playing a game too! They had to put the Power Ranger emblem on the Chest...funny! NOAH acutally won, but since he was told he was too old to actually win, he didn't get the prize. Ryan actually won but since it was his party...we chose the next winner to receive the 'gift'...and that was Samantha!! woohooo!!

<br />WHY are AMERICANS not wanting to back the Constitution anymore? WHERE are the TRUE AMERICANS...WE don't need more government control...the Constitution was formed for LESSSS GOVERNMENT control...EDUCATE YOURSELF PEOPLE!
<br />
<br />"Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery." -Winston Churchill
<br />
<br />This is the beginning of the downfall of the USA.........IF that STIMULUS is passed, the dollar will become less worthy...we are well on our way DOWN....People just do NOT care about LIFE anymore...WHERE are all of the PROLIFERS at? Sad.
<br />
<br />These patriotic asshats, Collins, Snowe, and Specter are beneath contempt. Their treachery will be remembered long after they have gone to hell by the future generations of yet unborn taxpayers.
<br />
<br /><strong>So funny how Obama wants Senators to be more patriotic, YET he covers his crotch instead of his heart to salute the USA??
<br /><strong>
<br />Words of Wisdome that I LOVE:</strong>
<br />
<br /><em>The "Mainstream" Media: By liberals. For liberals</em>
<br />
<br /><em>No right-thinking republican, or anyone else who truly loves freedom, would EVER vote for a bill that is going to essentially represent the largest government power-grab in all of recorded history</em>
<br />
<br /><em>In order to be pro-choice, one must first be born. Ah, the irony</em>
<br />
<br /><em>the Congressional Budget Office issued a rather pessimistic view of the stimulus bill in front of the Senate, and virtually no major media outlets reported it</em>

At our weekly story time at B&N, I took the opportunity to dress Ryan in a <strong>Valentine's Day shirt </strong>(since he has 2 of them :o)..The tshirt says Ladies Man. I just thought it was kinda cute. Right when Miss Sam was starting to read, Ryan, turns around to face the front on his bench, and accidentally brushes a little girl's foot who was in front of the bench sitting on the floor...the little girl turns to him and makes a sort of face that lets someone know that they are <strong>NOT</strong> happy?! HE turns to me and falls into my lap and <strong>CRIES</strong>!! <strong>WITH cookie in HAND</strong>!! The crumbs ARE everywhere...all over his face, his clothes, MY clothes! The entire time, Ryan sat on my lap...HE never went back to the bench and <strong>AFTER</strong> 7 books, my legs were <strong>NUMB</strong>!! So, it seems that girls make him cry?! LOL FUNNY!! GUESS he is not a ladies man yet.....<br /><br /><strong>Ryan insisted on bringing Power Rangers this time</strong><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiytLsCBm5-kcoAHcMm65gGhcHXTquptU1OKOCGSxLW1ZBwwjvVQc12pfRZP5sbzW3-BuzP322BXCHVLiBxGz25qDpuWkCSUskNGz8ggsp8FGeIdSHPqpfMsrXQY9lI-3WaDzUMAzs8xjE/s1600-h/ladies+man.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiytLsCBm5-kcoAHcMm65gGhcHXTquptU1OKOCGSxLW1ZBwwjvVQc12pfRZP5sbzW3-BuzP322BXCHVLiBxGz25qDpuWkCSUskNGz8ggsp8FGeIdSHPqpfMsrXQY9lI-3WaDzUMAzs8xjE/s320/ladies+man.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5300108489550810114" /></a><br /><br />The past week has been crazy at home..NOT on schedule at all..Noah had the flu and missed 4 days of school!! THAT's alot of makeup work. Ryan didn't get the flu (THANK GOD)...I wonder if the Tamiflu really helps.. Noah's flu didn't seem all that bad.<br /><br />Since, Noah was sick last weekend, he missed his testing for TKD Senior Green Belt..so today it the DAY that he tests<strong>...Wish him luck</strong>!<br /><br />Hope your week was <strong>Healthier</strong> than ours...the life of Denisehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06377855699377570326noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4096652002982556936.post-30609135783332171322009-01-31T13:16:00.003-06:002009-01-31T13:32:13.279-06:00CrackberryWho has one? <strong>I LOVE my Blackberry</strong>! Sometimes it does weird things though...and then I get so obsessed with WHY it is doing that. <strong>THAT</strong> is the part I hate about it.<br /><br /><strong>Reasons I LOVE my BB:</strong><br />1. I can CHAT with my friends through BB messenger..sooo cool :) Well, If they have BB.<br />2. It is very EASY to take pictures and then send them DIRECTLY to Walgreens upload. Wow!<br />3. Getting Email is OH so EASY!<br />4. Seriously, the phone is very attractive :)<br />5. All types of incoming msgs (email, sms, mms, BB msgr)can all go the same place and be separate also :)<br />6. Has a FULL keyboard!(My BB Curve)<br />7. Ringtones of course!<br />8. Internet is Awesome.<br /><br /><strong>The things that I don't like:</strong><br />1. It sometimes FREEZES! This sends me into PANIC mode...having to take out the battery, etc...FREAKS Me out. LOL<br />2. Feeling Panicky when it FREEZES! LOL<br />3. Being in a Grumpy mood when it FREEZES!<br /><br />So do you get the picture here?! STOP FREEZING UP BLACKBERRY! My boys will <strong>THANK YOU </strong>for it.<br /><br />In reality, It has only done that about 4-5 times....Anyone else have that problem too though?<br /><br />Christy captured this photo of <strong>me and My BB</strong>! LOL<br />I guess I am oblivious to my surroundings and I guess that is one reason why they call it a <strong>CRACKBERRY</strong> :)<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhE4tiYlj8gqTBIcWc_clh7_AmwNDIDzhj0rr5aqhsp9cIq-4FylOp0c10BMC0KpdxfcvLucskcHM8In_HitQD0Sq_lc4_8QrGthvmkgs5nb-vk8IqWQR-2RX5_Yz3Wu4PMBxGAeOSW73E/s1600-h/kids+on+bench.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhE4tiYlj8gqTBIcWc_clh7_AmwNDIDzhj0rr5aqhsp9cIq-4FylOp0c10BMC0KpdxfcvLucskcHM8In_HitQD0Sq_lc4_8QrGthvmkgs5nb-vk8IqWQR-2RX5_Yz3Wu4PMBxGAeOSW73E/s320/kids+on+bench.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5297541854896336658" /></a>the life of Denisehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06377855699377570326noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4096652002982556936.post-18807241061848032552009-01-31T12:45:00.006-06:002009-01-31T13:13:04.687-06:00Year of the Ox<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyLqITS5gA0Xdi3DLphT5KuDB_6m6fvcfeUikq_vshJmnxavewg2o_AV0Wos0YuOzJc-kXat_zax05u8gD7zKHp3cCsyvmkUZEWi23mYMOjxgHjIUiUpepr1vwu14ITpXu9XN29ExoBrg/s1600-h/ox.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 206px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyLqITS5gA0Xdi3DLphT5KuDB_6m6fvcfeUikq_vshJmnxavewg2o_AV0Wos0YuOzJc-kXat_zax05u8gD7zKHp3cCsyvmkUZEWi23mYMOjxgHjIUiUpepr1vwu14ITpXu9XN29ExoBrg/s320/ox.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5297536745488942642" /></a><br /><strong>Happy Chinese New Year!</strong> This is what was celebrated at our weekly B&N story time with Miss Sam.

One of the books that Miss Sam read was called <strong>"Pretzel"</strong>. It was about a daschund or Weenie dog like we call them, who grew longer than the others..anyway, one of the dog's names was <strong>PERCY</strong>. And when Miss Sam said the puppy's name, Ryan immediately turned to me and said <strong>"That's NOT Percy"</strong>. LOL Knowing Ryan like I do, He thinks the only thing named Percy is the train in <strong>Thomas the Train</strong>. I thought this was very cute ;)<br /><br />And the last book that Miss Sam read was about the Chinese New Year. I didn't realize how much people really followed that...Although Noah did come home from school with a bag full of stuff to celebrate the Chinese New Year...it was really cute. The craft of the day was to make your very own Chinese Lantern to celebrate.

They tend, however, to be eccentric, and bigoted, and they anger easily. They have fierce tempers and although they speak little, when they do they are quite eloquent. Ox people are mentally and physically alert. Generally easy-going, they can be remarkably stubborn, and they hate to fail or be opposed.</em> <strong>Scott was Born the year of the Ox</strong>..hmmm?<br /><br /><strong>And I was apparently born the year of the </strong><strong>TIGER</strong>...<em>Tiger people are sensitive, given to deep thinking, capable of great sympathy. They can be extremely short-tempered, however. Other people have great respect for them, but sometimes tiger people come into conflict with older people or those in authority. sometimes Tiger people cannot make up their minds, which can result in a poor, hasty decision or a sound decision arrived at too late. They are suspicious of others, but they are courageous and powerful.</em><br /><br /><strong>Ryan is the Year of the DOG</strong>....<br /><em>People born in the Year of the Dog possess the best traits of human nature. They have a deep sense of loyalty, are honest, and inspire other people¡¦s confidence because they know how to keep secrets. But Dog People are somewhat selfish, terribly stubborn, and eccentric. They care little for wealth, yet somehow always seem to have money. They can be cold emotionally and sometimes distant at parties. They can find fault with many things and are noted for their sharp tongues. Dog people make good leaders</em><br /><br /><strong>Noah is the Year of the RABBIT</strong>....<br /><em>People born in the Year of the Rabbit are articulate, talented, and ambitious. They are virtuous, reserved, and have excellent taste. Rabbit people are admired, trusted, and are often financially lucky. They are fond of gossip but are tactful and generally kind. Rabbit people seldom lose their temper. They are clever at business and being conscientious, never back out of a contract. They would make good gamblers for they have the uncanny gift of choosing the right thing. However, they seldom gamble, as they are conservative and wise.</em>the life of Denisehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06377855699377570326noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4096652002982556936.post-27449003206573464112009-01-31T12:32:00.003-06:002009-01-31T12:39:37.258-06:00Carseat Naps<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2z-cXGxa-V3pKZBLRAxlCpGuIVLoiCvYa2wNCj8uyNAgBM2-Fyi2IYH7uR7SXmCOOY-o-8_K_GfewP33HWc3zMx-NuHPpGY70sX8jhkiqPigUGZCx5UMsyK77Zi3AkrmXRcGm3nmgkQw/s1600-h/sleeping.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2z-cXGxa-V3pKZBLRAxlCpGuIVLoiCvYa2wNCj8uyNAgBM2-Fyi2IYH7uR7SXmCOOY-o-8_K_GfewP33HWc3zMx-NuHPpGY70sX8jhkiqPigUGZCx5UMsyK77Zi3AkrmXRcGm3nmgkQw/s320/sleeping.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5297529267036575106" /></a><br />are what Ryan 'takes' these days. <strong>WHY?</strong> Everyday when I pick Noah up from school, Ryan falls asleep in his carseat <strong>BEFORE</strong> I get out of our subdivision...So this means that I have NO more free time AT ALL!!

Ryan and I headed out early and did some shopping before Storytime. He had a chance to play with the Thomas the Train table and trains at B&N. YOU know that he kills himself playing with those trains over there...AND we have the <strong>SAME</strong> table at home! YES he plays at home but it seems like he plays alot more over there! So we had alot of extra time before it started...he played with trains and drank his Choco milk and I drank my Caramel Skinny latte (it is better than nothing.

Ryan listened so well..He is getting better every week. Another boy sat on his bench and it did not bother him. woohoo. LOL One of the stories was about Curious George and a Hot air balloon...So funny that I ask Ryan about the book afterwards and he explains to me everything that happened...His comprehension is outstanding...not to brag, but it is.

Ryan LOVES "If you give a cat a cupcake"! Ryan did so well today...HE actually was NOT on top of me the whole time..He sat on the bench like a big boy and listened. I was sooo proud of him (sniff sniff). There were the cutest little girls there today and one of them sat next to him and he was NOT very happy about that. haha!! and another one accidentally touched his arm and he almost cried. haha!!!

The first time that I heard him say this I had to ask him what he said again. Sure enough, Yep he said that! I think it is the funniest thing ever and what is even more entertaining about it is that he knows how to use it correctly. He really does "joke around". HOW in the world can a STILL 2 Year old know this?<br /><br />Ryan is still in diapers. The Pedi has told me to back off about trying to get him to potty because he had some issues of withholding his stool WHILE still wearing his diapers! So he has been getting better at being regular with the help of Miralax and I decided to purchase some BIG BOY underwear (with power rangers on them of course). Yesterday I let him put one on and he wanted it off immediately. HE told me that he didn't like Big Boy underwear and that he wanted to put his diaper on!! UGH!!! WHY?! AT this age, Noah was wearing pullups! but he was actually doing NUMBER ONE on the potty!<br /><br />Yesterday we visited Borders to check out their story time...Unfortunately Ryan was the ONLY Kid there. WHAT is the deal with that? The store is Awesome and it is on Market Street! HELLO! LOL When we go to B&N, there is always alot of people there. Next week we are going to try the Library also...we heard that it is really nice there.<br /><br />Noah is doing so Awesome in TKD! He is a Green belt and will probably test for Senior Green belt in a few weeks. His sparring is getting so good...I can see his confidence in that. I love it!<br /><br />Every day bring a new skill or word to Ryan's world..

The atmosphere was inviting, the staff were GREAT, and the Food was THE BEST! Apparently this is a new restaurant that has opened here in the Woodlands...It is next to Hubbel & Hudson Groc. IT is white tablecloth, kindy pricey..but the tablecloths are covered with WHITE PAPER so the KIDS loved drawing on it with colored pencils, NOT crayons! OH and there was a kid menu too :) WE had a hummus Trio for appetizer...the BEST that I have had in YEARS!! sooo much flavor. Scott had the Paella (FANTASTIC) and I had the HangerSteak! I totally enjoyed this meal and Saturday was a GREAT day for our family! WE had a fun day...brought the kids to McDonalds which is Brand new..OMG! they have a flat screen tv in there. Is that typical now? Soooo super clean in there...definitely a good time.

We went to our weekly story time at B&N...soooo glad to be back to that. We had a BREAK for the holidays. We heard some GREAT stories and then a very cute story about The Littlest Maryshka. A Maryshka is Russian ( a Nesting doll). I know that I have seen these 'dolls' before but I never knew what they were. So CUTE!! Ryan was able to make his very own. He seemed to have a great time coloring the first 3, but then he colored the rest of them the same color and he hurried, so they did not come out as well...guess he lost interest!<br /><br />Ryan working on his Maryshka<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAcI3s2aKtFOvtYkZ_BD0vMnVFqp7njduJ3upMjG4VfOBxKo-6qoLT2jGnl1jhgWulhd52TsOlI5r2VQiiU02Ak7SARYVThzN0YLCpc6EsfY21nDa_DdbTNUkpdb6Hxb38vOMmWrqaW-8/s1600-h/marsh.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5289118490484334354" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAcI3s2aKtFOvtYkZ_BD0vMnVFqp7njduJ3upMjG4VfOBxKo-6qoLT2jGnl1jhgWulhd52TsOlI5r2VQiiU02Ak7SARYVThzN0YLCpc6EsfY21nDa_DdbTNUkpdb6Hxb38vOMmWrqaW-8/s320/marsh.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />I also have to BRAG about the awesome deal I got at Williams Sonoma. I LOVE Williams Sonoma. I have BEEN needing a Hostess set for about ummmmm almost 10 years now and I finally got ONE!

We did NOT go back home to Louisiana to celebrate with family...Scott did NOT have any more days to take off from work plus they are super busy. BUT we were so blessed that some of our family members came here to visit us! First Granny came over on the Tuesday evening. We were so excited that she was able to spend Christmas eve with us. She has never been able to spend that with us! I loved that we were able to stay home and NOT go to any parties because I have always wanted the kids to have a nice quiet evening preparing for the big day. We started off on Christmas eve with having to bring BOTH Ryan and Noah to the doctor..they both had croup! grrr...so lucky! they were not sick all season, but then SPLAT!!! SICK! So then we went for some Coffee (the grown ups) and Hot Chocolate (the kids)...we then went to early Mass to Celebrate Jesus's Birthday!

They were both GREAT! I do not have any photos of Body World 2 since they did NOT allow photos...Yah I know it is a bummer...a real bummer if you have ever seen it and know what it is all about. I could NOT believe that they were real bodies...but anyway, I am not sure if Ryan loved it or hated it. LOL He kept talking about 'cool guy'...that was his term for the "bodies"...This exhibit is a MUST SEE if it ever makes around to your part of the globe.<br /><br />The other exhibit was Leonardo...that mummified dinosaur that Scientists? found in Montana...they brought it to Houston where it was x-rayed and this is the first time that they have found a skeleton with SKIN...and they also know where the organs were from the x-rays. It was SUPER cool. The boys loved it.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJjf2Tf8vim7tueZpQiTvvlyqaOgLB-IMSwNqGkWDbi05Iz5QQvxcNWHO8DZ5m19AxkFqmFi8vCGEZv-w6FP4y4wxHeSUqRFp2irI3UVVHp7B_MGXu8SmRl9otLaZQe8OQOCdToN-mcu8/s1600-h/dino5.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJjf2Tf8vim7tueZpQiTvvlyqaOgLB-IMSwNqGkWDbi05Iz5QQvxcNWHO8DZ5m19AxkFqmFi8vCGEZv-w6FP4y4wxHeSUqRFp2irI3UVVHp7B_MGXu8SmRl9otLaZQe8OQOCdToN-mcu8/s320/dino5.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5285448085216594834" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgq0E1d55Whq4rm2EE-EMqvJvKa439Tlm07WMjk5aA9Gk18mGwyTCdZ524-f1DSn0fo7n02q4bxBo3dX1A9PleHQ_rD7E2hkutx6hksbRYidjByOkwNCRlkFlIb1b5OxEGknSx9gZU_Db4/s1600-h/dino1.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgq0E1d55Whq4rm2EE-EMqvJvKa439Tlm07WMjk5aA9Gk18mGwyTCdZ524-f1DSn0fo7n02q4bxBo3dX1A9PleHQ_rD7E2hkutx6hksbRYidjByOkwNCRlkFlIb1b5OxEGknSx9gZU_Db4/s320/dino1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5285448083493718210" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMxH7eyaQ44PRwWgJPuOwGNcUP52ioIrNxbJdqJUkYRLFOd3ckFgu1Pux9tjJliuCJgk_cgS5aCZ6GC7daU_1IXTjshqasfCjKnrlujLR74NgqLxvyHFFpWTNc3cUd11UCNP1u2L7yMFw/s1600-h/dino3.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMxH7eyaQ44PRwWgJPuOwGNcUP52ioIrNxbJdqJUkYRLFOd3ckFgu1Pux9tjJliuCJgk_cgS5aCZ6GC7daU_1IXTjshqasfCjKnrlujLR74NgqLxvyHFFpWTNc3cUd11UCNP1u2L7yMFw/s320/dino3.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5285448073750907042" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9u2-upaxG0EWEyHFLVc-wfrpSTUShPZ5HMQfI64Mts7tQL_m4n-RshNyuZMYzs9R9LJ8NDFv80iTQeCFQEVU0evgpSv6Kaa5LtASU-2vMcJ0ygxyVNdsgdF0TJSuJpV7h7laSS1rrpLc/s1600-h/dino2.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9u2-upaxG0EWEyHFLVc-wfrpSTUShPZ5HMQfI64Mts7tQL_m4n-RshNyuZMYzs9R9LJ8NDFv80iTQeCFQEVU0evgpSv6Kaa5LtASU-2vMcJ0ygxyVNdsgdF0TJSuJpV7h7laSS1rrpLc/s320/dino2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5285448076168080178" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgy24oBzQz62XoM-kDP-E6Gs1K0XdHZWS9MLdav1XYWkJbUXQBdqVJDv9Jj8KFjvBGWhEmfxJhoFbl7m8T5uVjEP_YMMkTT9_M7W0NdvMv2-TqCZWrGiNXOJGTzw1hphUCDRZiOp-gc58k/s1600-h/dino.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgy24oBzQz62XoM-kDP-E6Gs1K0XdHZWS9MLdav1XYWkJbUXQBdqVJDv9Jj8KFjvBGWhEmfxJhoFbl7m8T5uVjEP_YMMkTT9_M7W0NdvMv2-TqCZWrGiNXOJGTzw1hphUCDRZiOp-gc58k/s320/dino.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5285448071026907010" /></a>the life of Denisehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06377855699377570326noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4096652002982556936.post-13771517713278162162008-12-20T17:51:00.001-06:002008-12-20T17:54:28.844-06:00Bethelehem Bed and Breakfastwas the name of the Noah's school play.

We love going there...although, as I have said before, Ryan is not exactly WELL-BEHAVED! He is rather curious, I guess. He did NOT enjoy the books today and Ms. Sam does such an AWESOME job reading those books! They watched a little cartoon about a snowman...he wasn't interested because he could not get close to the tv without me...he is stuck to me like Glitter Glue. haha!!<br /><br />BUT the CRAFT is what RYAN LOVES! I asked him where he wanted to put the snowman 'parts' and he glued them on there...<br /><br />Ryan in the process of making his snowman, I was bothering him with my camera :)<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiG0pxNwxA_RnLAUWc9BtXgWDSwpt1m6ZjJIJUpecmR8-Mldq41uRaYfBXUp6q2ntsliQx6yRH6264MJ982LxZcwQWK5MY25WP2ad7RFyPtMtKZ76Wh0yx5FLkBzUVsAGuti6YWN2MtD4U/s1600-h/snowman.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5281267323006785538" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiG0pxNwxA_RnLAUWc9BtXgWDSwpt1m6ZjJIJUpecmR8-Mldq41uRaYfBXUp6q2ntsliQx6yRH6264MJ982LxZcwQWK5MY25WP2ad7RFyPtMtKZ76Wh0yx5FLkBzUVsAGuti6YWN2MtD4U/s320/snowman.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Look at all that GLITTER!<br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5281267338591298514" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhd8jsjvj3TVhoXLC7FeRKg3Y7Njv2vieqTsH3Hw1N_W6sugZfWvuME4mRuf5JOYC6GRUpC5I3xpECcTWC0ldU8jEufxNch3Z67-nRQUlfjfd3Uxxc8F8pe7OC1jMTdybx3UBBXCJOXNqM/s320/snowman1.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br />I think he did a GREAT job, Don't you??<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLYbBrlh7T1Sxgwu-a7n_v44mrIA4X-i9XcHuf1WFeMG6Stcoj4ATpDshPKUFEfGqmOJn3P0T8yMqfk8NMa-oWTFFRxynI_tatlOphn7mfyfnQ6oKmoGsOry6EWnH4yyrSY0C_6J6JFlQ/s1600-h/snowman2.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5281267320813406194" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLYbBrlh7T1Sxgwu-a7n_v44mrIA4X-i9XcHuf1WFeMG6Stcoj4ATpDshPKUFEfGqmOJn3P0T8yMqfk8NMa-oWTFFRxynI_tatlOphn7mfyfnQ6oKmoGsOry6EWnH4yyrSY0C_6J6JFlQ/s320/snowman2.jpg" border="0" /></a>the life of Denisehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06377855699377570326noreply@blogger.com0
