Ya know, I was thinking about something Nok did when we first got home and it just made me laugh. I may have already mentioned it to you but I just think it's the cutest thing ever! When we took Cody to school the first Monday we were home, Nok was blowing into the air in little puffs to see her breath. She tried it this morning but it wasn't cold enough and there wasn't enough moisture in the air to make it work. She seemed a bit disappointed but I kept thinking to myself, "just wait til January. Kiddo, you'll get your fill of cold air and wonder what on earth has happened!" No, I'm not looking forward to it at all. Neither is Tommy. Cody asked the other day if God ever made snow that was warm. I said, "hunny, it's already on the ground and it's called sand".
The International Festival is happening this weekend! We are soooo excited! You can purchase tickets to redeem for food and drinks at different booths. There are booths and crafts and people from all over the world there! It's so fun and I think Nok is confident enough w/ our family now that she will have a really good time. The different societies also put on little culture shows and they are the koolest shows ever! They say it ends at 9 but they usually end around 10pm. It's a blast and we love the different foods. Of course Thai, Filippino, and Japanese foods are our favorites.
Yesterday, I had taken Cody to spend her two birthday gift certificates and she was so sweet to Nok. She said "here, Nok, you can have one of my gift cards because I don't want you to feel left out and not get a present." Nok wandered around the store for an hour and couldn't find anything she wanted so I finally got a kitten puzzle. She was pretty bummed at first but I was ready to go home. When we got home I sat her down in front of the puzzle and then Tommy and Cody ended up helping a bit. Everyone put in 4 or 5 pieces and then let Nok take off w/ it. She was done in no time and then took it apart and put it back together again in about 3 minutes!!!! It was a junior puzzle but holy cow! I couldn't have done that! Then we cheered her on and she laughed and laughed! I thought she may be good at memory games so I got out Cody's My Little Pony memory game. She kept up for the most part but would tend to get stuck on one particular pony that she would turn over every single time. Tommy would kinda set it up so she would see a familiar card and then she could find the other pretty fast. I took a picture of the girls playing the My Little Pony game w/ their Dad. I got to play a little but I was cooking dinner. It was really exciting to see them all having so much fun and I told Tommy it was good for him.....it brought out the little girl in him. I don't think he thought that was very funny though.
