WE GOT A Wii!!!
After months of waiting for a Wii, searching on line, waiting for the price to come down a little, and searching some more, we finally won a chance to purchase a Wii at the BX.
Dave surprised us tonight when he came home with the box.
The boys were so excited. I have to admit...so was I..
Our new friends Lillian and Teddy

Snacks to refuel after all the playing.
More dancing, skipping, hopping, and just having fun

Potty Training! Well trying anyway.
Trenton is so close to potty training but not quite ready. He will tell me that he's just tee teed in his diaper. However, he hasn't linked the feeling of time to potty together with tee teeing on the potty yet. After several days of successful going potty on the toilet, after I have reminded him every 15-25 minutes to go. If I don't, he wets himself and doesn't care. We'll try again in a few months.
Rice planting
The steps are pretty simple. First the fill the fields with cow manure. Next they overfill the patties with water. Then the plow the fields to mix everything up. Lastly, they plant the rice.
Sorry for the photo. I was on a bus but this is the planter.
Several days later, there are perfect rows of rice crops.
A traditional korean toilet
Boy oh boy! I don't even know how to tell this story. Forgive me for any graphic details but unless I give them, you won't understand the story and reason for the picture. On May 16, we headed down to Itaewon to do some shopping. while we ere in the Croc store, Dalton told me he had to go to the bathroom. I asked the store clerk for a restroom and he took us to this run down shop a few doors down. Dave and Trenton were down the way and didn't know where we had gone, I didn't have my cell so I was standing in the hall waiting for Dalton, and watching for Dave too. Dalton came out and said, "Mom, I tee-teed but I really need to find a potty that I can poop in. That potty was too low." I assumed that it was a urinal in the men's bathroom so we waited for the females room to open and same thing. Dalton is telling me he REALLY has to poop. So I quickly talk about squatting, not touching the wet, nasty floor, I rolled up his pants and send him back in. Bless his heart. He REALLY needed to go. I had to take a picture because this was our first, and hopefully our last encounter with a traditional Korean toilet.
Korean Ice Cream...
A Korean Nutty Butty.
This was vanilla ice cream with strawberry twist.
A cute video of Trenton telling me he had ice cream all over him.
Mother's Day
Mother's Day is always so special. This year Dalton painted a shoe and presented it to me. I got several great cards and a steak and shrimp dinner. YUMMY!
A family trip to the pottery festival
A few weeks ago, we took a trip with Dave's Brigade to a fun filled day at a pottery museum and festival. Below are posts from the fantastic day. What great memories! Enjoy!
Pottery Festival....the kiln
The koreans use pine because it burns hot and fast.
A small wood burning kiln.
Behind us is broken pottery. If there is one flaw in the piece of pottery, it is smashed.
The pottery in the kiln.
Placing the bricks, one by one,
and sealing it up.
The sealed door
The brick that is left uncoverd is pulled out every 1.5 hours and the temp is checked. From there they determine if more pine is added to the fire.
The pottery will stay in the kiln for 2 weeks.
Traditional Korean dining
There is always plenty of food.
We are sitting at a very low table, which is a lot of fun but hard on your rear.
