Hairdo & Circus

So I found out that the Ringling Bros. & Barnum and Bailey Circus was coming to town!  And since both Anna and JJ were somewhat old enough to enjoy it, I bought some tickets and took the whole family last night!    Well, it also turned out that Soojin had never gone to one!  Double bonus!

But prior to the event and unbeknownst to moi, my mother-in-law did this to my poor li’l boy JJ… 

Yeah, yeah… my wife thought it was really cute…    And this was his hair “in action”…

And here’s the circus in action…

The best of the show was the guy in the above picture… that’s right… the guy that looks like Vanilla Ice!   

He was DA BOMB!  Such a good combination of the comedy acts and acrobat acts!!  Couldn’t get enough of him!!  The best of his stuff was the bouncing acts from the jumping board!  You know it if you went to the “Greatest Show on earth!” 

Here’s the mother and the daughter pic…

Pics from WWE Summer Slam!!!

That’s Batista up there!  The last match… she LOVES him!   And she was so happy that his team won!

There she is… the WWE lovin’ granny!!

Another of her favorite… Rey Mysterio! 

There’s my poor attempt at “group picture”! 

Rey was up against this “King” Booker T.  What a joke…

The Worm Song

So I play a bit more with the kids today and Anna brings over a Sesame Street book and find Oscar. As we talk about Oscar’s dirty trash can, we talked about worms as well and spontaneously, I sang her this song. The original Korean lyrics (written by yours truly) is:

지렁이는 씹으면은 맛이없어요.
씹으면은 물컹물컹 웩웩웩!
Roughly translated, “Worms are yucky if you chew them. If you chew them, slimy slimy, wook, wook wook! (gesture of throwing up)” Well, it was a sure hit! Such a big hit that Anna loved it to death and asked me to sing it only about 100 times!! Then I got so sick of singing it that I decided to record it!! So we recorded it and if it works, it should play when you visit this site!! LOL…

If it doesn’t play and you wanna listen, it’s here at this link.

Bah bah Black Sheep

My kids love songs… and most of times, they like it before sleep. One such favorite is “Bah bah Black Sheep”…  Know it?  Well, it goes something like this…

    Bah bah Black Sheep, have you any wool?
    Yes, sir, yes, sir, three bags full.
    One for the master, one for the dame.
    One for the little boy who lives down the lane.

Well, there’s a second verse… white sheep.  What makes it … funny and memorable is what my Anna did one night.  She asked about OTHER sheep!    So I had to make up new lyrics for Green Sheep, Pink Sheep, and Blue sheep and on!!  Well, the thing is you have to find PEOPLE to replace the lyrics with!!  😮

So I decided to use families I know with kids I know!  For example…

    Bah bah Pink Sheep, have you any wool?
    Yes, sir, yes, sir, four bags full.
    One for Sarah, one for Sammy.
    One for Pastor Shawn, and one for Samonim.

Hee… and go on with Toby’s family, my family, and so on…  😀  It’s in their nature… They make their own lyrics!!  Gotta hear them sometime…  Hee…

Grandmas and Wrestling

I miss my grandma.  Shucks.  We lived close to her in my childhood from when I was 9 till 12.  This is the same grandma that passed away to be with God earlier this year in January… 

What prompted this?  Well, my mother-in-law, Anna and JJ’s grandmother, has been staying with us for past 3 weeks now.  And there’s one thing she LOVES!  WWE wrestling!!    How weird is that?!  She knows of the what’s going ons more than I do!  Just this past Friday or so, she got to watch one and she felt soooo good after that one as the bad guy was smacked with a chair!!  Ha ha ha…  she said that she could sleep well that night!  What is up with Korean grandmas??!!

My belated grandmother also loved wrestling… swearing left and right, throwing in her own gestures of sorts… I miss her.    I hope she gets to see some good re-runs up in Heaven!    Here’s to you grandma!  You rock!

Weekend with Grandma

As many of you know, Soojin’s mom has been in town. So here’s the summary of the weekend…

First, it rained… so the kids played outside after the rain…

Totally reminds me of the childhood days… 🙂

And here’s what JJ started…

Is this odd? No? How about this?  😮

And on Saturday, when the rain totally cooled the afternoon into cooler 70’s, we rushed to Bayou Wildlife Park in Alvin, Texas! It’s a very nice petting zoo with a tram ride on loads of animals from zebras and giraffes to antelopes and other animals!

But first… a family picture… sort of…  😛

And here’s Soojin’s typical facial expression during the tram ride…

And as a personally made gift from the grandma, these are what we all received…

And what’s not to like about Anna’s “special” hairdo, courtesy of grandma?! No wonder Anna loves her to death!
