So we're heading down to catch the bus, just got in the lift....the lift then stops at the next floor down, thus delaying us slightly.
Muttering quietly under her breath, Kate says,"Oh, shit."
You can imagine, I chastised her appropriately (or even slightly over the top - I let her know that language like that actually deserves a smack (thus letting her off lightly as I didn't actually smack her)).
And then I giggled all the way back home. Is that bad?

Dancin' Fool
I don't really need to say anything about this. In fact, I can't, because I can't stop laughing every time I look at it.
Chinese New Year
Chinese New Year has been and gone again. Tomorrow is Valentine's Day (and do I have a card yet? like heck I do).
It was unexpected but we stayed in town....well, not entirely so - due to us being highly disorganised at the best of times, it shouldn't have been such a surprise that we didn't book anything for the holiday week. In any case, it was a lovely week. The weather was wonderful and warm, and we relaxed and had a great time. Charlie had football camp ("I only play football though, we don't really camp") and we did a bunch of family things.
One thing we did was go for a 10K hike with some other families. After our experience with the kids on The Peak (after 200 meters, Kate started whinging,"My feet hurt...! When will we get there...!" for the remaining 2800 meters), we almost didn't go. But Kate insisted she wanted to go for a long hike. And what a great little trooper she was. After about 8K she started flagging a bit, but after a few people commented on how great she was doing, hiking the whole way on her own, what a big girl she was, she managed to make it til the end. Now that I know they can do it, there will be no stopping us!

Cheech-isms.
After James suggested he do something: "Yes, Daddy, I was just thinking that in my head!"
After James told him that he could play golf with him when he is older: "But you'll be dead then!"
