Molly's Class Christmas Party

Here are some pictures of Molly's Class Christmas Party. I did take video of the kids singing a couple of songs. Mark will post them later this week. You didn't miss out on anything though. Molly refused to sing. Didn't want to do it, wasn't going to do it....no matter what! You'll see.....

Checkin out their jingle bells on their ankles!

Morgan OK, Mark & Molly not OK

Morgan is feeling fine and Tuesday can't get here fast enough for her to go back to school. However, Mark and Molly are just back from the doctor with suspected H1N1. Hopefully they'll get over it as quickly as Morgan did.

H1N1 Confirmed

So Morgan tested positive for H1N1. She went to school yesterday with a slight cough. I was called at noon to pick her up. She had a high fever. I took her to the doctor yesterday where they tested her for H1N1. We just got the positive test results back. So we are all house quarantined for the next week. Everyone can go back to school and work on Tuesday.

Really, she is fine. The fever is gone and her cough is so much better. You'd never know she is sick. She was really sad about missing her school Christmas Concert today, as you can imagine. She was looking forward to singing on stage.

Things are bound to get interesting this week as we are all confined to home. Looks like we're going to have to get creative.

Something Magical About this Time of Year

Morgan and I were looking at the World Map together. She asked me "where is Korea?" I showed her. She said "So Santa just has to fly from here (pointing to the "North Pole") to here (Korea)? The child is already plotting Santa's route for Christmas Eve! So sweet!!!

Molly-isms

Molly is so talkative. I swear the only time she is NOT talking is when she is sleeping. Otherwise, she is quite the chatterbox. Here are a few things she has said that just make you smile (or chuckle under your breath).

When asked "what would you like for lunch?" Molly replied "Mac N Cheese!!!" (Shocker.) When told we were out of Mac N Cheese, Molly replied "WHAT?!?!?!?!" As if the World had come to an end.

Driving to school I was cut off by another car and made a Huffing sound. Molly tells me, "you don't have to get mad, Mom."

She is obsessed with the Christmas tree. She loves turning the lights on in the evening and looking at all of the ornaments. We came in from outside and Molly says "Oh MY Christmas! It's WONDERFUL!"

She is still very adament that Facundo is HER boyfriend!

In the car, Molly likes to look at all the buses and tell their colors. Today she asked "Is that MY blue city bus?" (She has been on the city bus with Miss Tessie a couple of times. She doesn't have a school bus, but she HAS a city bus.) She can even tell you that she rides the 110.

Molly and I drove Morgan to school today. Molly was being very patient and good while I was having a conversation with another Mom. The Mom let a certain 4 letter word slip out of her mouth and Molly says "She said the "S" word!" I was embarassed, but the other Mom thought it was great (and apologized for her inappropriate language).

"How do you know that, Mom?"

"I'm no longer a baby! I'm sure I'm no longer a baby!!"

That's our girl!

Turkey Talk

Our little ham was quite the Turkey during the Thanksgiving skit at Pre School today! Here are some pictures from her debut performance. Video to be uploaded soon.

This is the infamous "Facundo", and his pouty face.

That's our girl!

A New Activity

Morgan has been asking a lot lately about wanting to take Taek Won Do. So finally last night she had the opportunity to try it out at the Seoul Club. Looks like we've found another activity for Morgan to participate in. She LOVED it! She's already asking when the next lesson is and "when do I get my uniform?"

No H1N1 for this family!

Molly woke up at 2 am this morning with a very unhappy tummy. I won't go into detail because it was not pretty. We ended up making a family trip to the doctor to have Molls checked out and to get Flu shots for the rest of the us. I was worried that the "family that doesn't get the Flu" had just got the Flu. It turns out that Molly just has a stomach bug. Nothing more than a virus. She should be fine in just a couple of days. She is such a trooper! She was even singing during the Dr. visit.

Next up were the Flu shots for Mark, Morgan and I. Needless to say, Morgan was NOT happy. She happily let Mark and I get our shots first, squeezing our hands and holding back tears. When it was her turn, she didn't even flinch. OUR BRAVE GIRL!

Hopefully we can kick this virus quickly and we can all continue on the path to good health!

This is Ruth that coordinated the entire trip for us. Her smile lasted all 4 days. She is truly an amazing person.
