Chingrish I saw today...

In the hotel lobby today there was a sign stating "We will be spurting for mosquitos today." At an enormous shopping center we went to today there was an "Outlet Spore." I wonder what they sell?

On the kid front, Lauren had a terrible evening. We went to a local restaurant around the corner and she started crying from the second we got there. She did eat a bit but Mike finally decided to take her on back to the hotel. By the time I got back to the room she was in full meltdown - crouched in a corner crying. Thank God for Hershey's chocolate!! I gave her a piece and that started to bring her out a bit. Then I gave the girls a bath and there was much rejoicing throughout the kingdom. She and Leanne were squealing in no time. Whew, that was a tough one. It is just totally heart-wrenching. And Leanne tried so hard to comfort her too. Tomorrow is another day....

She's our kind of girl. Chocolate solves everything! Hang in there. I expect there will be more of the melt downs but at least you'll get better and better at predicting and handling them. Just make sure you have lots of hershey bars and bubble bath!!!
Betty says she thinks Lauren only has half a body because we only get pictures of her upper half. Would you please send some pictures of her full length so I can put Betty's mind at rest. Counting the days till we get to see and hug you all. Kisses to the girls and Mike.

Oh yeah. I almost forgot. Please bring us some "spore". We haven't had any for a very long time.
Apparently we only have "Salmonella". :)
