date day

today for the first time we're going to go on little mini-dates with the little ones...dave is taking caleb to watch despicable me 2 and i'm taking brynna to watch a my little pony movie.  she saw the poster for it by pearlridge theater when i took her with aunty leish to watch another movie and she really wanted to see it.  it's already on dvd, but i'm sure she'll be thrilled to see it in the theater with popcorn! 

we're a little bit worried cuz two times we took caleb to watch a movie he got sick..i'm sure it's just a coincidence but we'll make sure he's warm.  he already said his throat was sore this morning so we'll see.

we've been trying to pack in a lot of fun for the kids in our little summer vacation.  went to the beach, discovery center, movies today and itrampoline tomorrow.  still gotta take them to bishop museum to see the dinosaurs...how can we not have taken them there yet??? 

tattletaler and manipulator

i remember a book we used to read at my aunty's house about not being a tattler.  (sheesh, is it tattler, tattletaler, tattle-taler?) anyways, i need that book for caleb.  he's always telling us about what brynna did, though oftentimes he's a part of the problem too.  grrr.  i guess it's the age but we definitely need to find a book about it, since little guy learns so much from his books. 

brynna, on the other hand, doesn't tattle too much since she is often the instigator.  she's also soooooo funny in her manipulative ways.  the other day my mom was scolding her about something and she looks at my mom and says, "i love you."  wth????  little tricky girl.  then when she wants something and you tell her no she comes back with, "oh, but i really want it, please, oh please?!"  we asked her who taught her that and she said she taught herself.  gosh!!!!
