Aiden had a field trip with his class to the Samsung Childrens Museum. Josh was able to take the day off work and join him which I know he liked. Below are some of the pictures they took while there. Aiden said he enjoyed the WHOLE museum and his favorite things were the "construction zone" and the ball museum.
I thought everyone might like to see our new little "peanut"!!!! This little guy/girl has been causing mommy alot of discomfort that I hope ends soon. This ultrasound was done 2 weeks ago (at 7 weeks). I am now 9 weeks and most the "icky" feelings should subside by 12 weeks and hopefully before!!! Either way, the end result is SO worth all the discomfort that comes along with it. I pray this pregnancy will be just as smooth as my last 2 and we will have a healthy, happy baby come Sept!!!!!
Today we took advantage of the US Holiday and went out into downtown Seoul ice skating!!!! We knew it would not be as busy as normal since it was a Monday BUT there were alot more people than we expected. Overall though, it was not too bad and everyone had fun. We went with some friends of ours and were able to really help the kids. Aiden was a little nervous yet excited to do it. He really got brave and was able to skate on his own a bit. He did fall down a few times but got right back up and kept trying. Austin never really got much of a chance to try it on his own. He did a little but since he seems to "attract" injury we felt it best to hold onto him. However, he did great and did not fall much at all. He seemed more comfortable doing it but I think it is more his personality. Aiden is more cautious as Austin is more of the "jump right in" type. I think that may be why Austin has more injuries!!!!! Everyone had a good time and both boys are asking to go back. Not sure if we will make it back or not as it will only be around for about a month longer but we will always find more things to go do!!!
Never say never!!!!!! Korea "normally" does not get a huge amount of snow but we did today.....and it was the most snow Seoul has seen in over 70 yrs!!!! We got about 8-10 inches of snow and the boys got another day off school!!!! I took our snow gear to Ohio last winter when we went to visit and we decided not to bring it back with us since Korea does not get much snow!!!! Luckily, I have a wonderful and generous friend who so kindly offered to let us borrow some of their extra snow gear!!! She let us use snow boots for both boys (luckily her kids are the same age as mine) and snow pants for Aiden....Austin had a pair that came with his coat. So, we spent about 2 1/2 hrs outside playing and digging out!!! School has already been cancelled for tomorrow as well so my guess is we will be out for round 2 if the kids get their way!!!!! Below is a link to the story that made the news!!!! http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100104/ap_on_re_as/as_asia_storms
We had a great Christmas with the boys this year. They are at such a great age for Christmas. The hotel here on base that held some of the Christmas activities had great decoration so we took some pictures there. Aiden made reindeer food at school and was thrilled to set that out along with Santa's cookies and milk. Austin went right to bed but Aiden was so excited for Santa to visit that he went back to bed at 8pm but did not fall asleep until almost 11pm!!!!! Needless to say Santa was waiting patiently for him to fall asleep :) On Christmas day the boys woke up and were ready to go. Aiden read all the name tags and handed all the gifts out. They both were so happy with the presents and have spent the last several days since Christmas playing so nicely together with them. I will be sad to see school start back up next week and I have enjoyed my time with BOTH boys being home all day!!!! We are looking forward to the New Year and new adventures!!!!
Austin had a litlte Christmas party at school on his last day before the break. He was not very impressed with it but sat there quietly and wore his hat the whole time. He did sign jingle bells but none of the other songs. Not many of the 3 yr old enjoyed it....most cried or would not sit up there. It is a hard age to organize for something like this but his teachers did a great job. Austin would not look or smile at me as you can tell from the pictures. He was doing it on purpose but as soon as they pulled out the food he was much more happy. Either way he is a cutie and I had to post the pictures!!!!
Aiden class got to go to the hotel on base and sign several Christmas songs. Aiden did such a GREAT job as did his whole class. He is really loving Kindergarten and has made such great little friends. After the caroling one of the restaraunts served the kids pizza and juice :)
