Listen to Your Mama

This morning our Chinese teacher came over and gave us an assignment to make our own puppets and have "them" talk to each other, using a certain dialog that she gave us to memorize.  Just for fun, she showed us this rap song.  I guess Jay Chou (pronounced Chew) is very famous in China.  In this song, he is giving a little boy great advice, "Listen to your mama."  Even though I don't understand the words, I think it is very cute and touching and great that this big celebrity is singing about something nice.  (I love that kid's room by the way.)

A Stitch AND Time

I am always so proud of myself when I get out craft projects for my kids because I really don't enjoy it...especially sewing.  Yesterday morning I was inspired by Life in a Pink House's post with her cute daughters stitching.  My girls had fun drawing a picture on some cloth, then picking out colored thread and stitching.  Luke is in the background probably drawing another line man maze.

We have started reading A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle as our read a loud book.  I love reading books from my childhood to my children.  (Especially since most of them I can't remember so well.)

NOOOO!

It was freezing cold but whenever we asked, "Do you want to get out?"  She would shake her head and yell, "NOOOO!"
