I had to leave the brats for about 5 days for a work event in LA. They managed well, I guess.
So Aubrey has been super polite about everything, saying "please" and "thank you" a lot! Tonight, I tried to put truck pants on her, but she refused and wanted something with flowers. What a girl!
Gerard will be starting school very soon. He's been so eager to start!!! I hope he does enjoy it.
Wish I could write more but I'm sooooo busy catching up with a lot of photography work. Feel kinda bad I don't get to spend more time with the kids, but I gotta do this.

The things they pick up from watching movies
We have been watching two-many movies at home, namely, of redheaded fish wanting to be human (Ponyo and The Little Mermaid). Both brats are crazy lovin' them and have started picking up lines. Both events below happened on back-to-back days (Sunday and Monday during Labor Day Weekend).
Here is Gerard's: We were sitting on the couch having an in-depth viewing of a photo magazine of natural disasters, which included photos from the Japan tsunami. Out of the blue, he commented, "I've never seen the ocean like this before." It took me half a second to realize the line came from Ponyo, when character Lisa said the same exact line as a tsunami approached their land. Of course I laughed and asked him if he stole that from the movie.
Here is Aubrey's: We were in bed, and told her I wanted to cuddle her. I then thought that "cuddle" rhymed too much with Scuttle, the seagull with a big mouth from The Little Mermaid. In one of the earlier scenes, he had a dialogue with Ariel where she calls out to him "Scuttle!" and he responds with "Ariel, sweetheart, how ya doing!?" Well, slightly different, but when I playfully shouted "Cuddle!" to the same tone as Ariel shouting "Scuttle," Aubrey responded with "Mermaid!" I am still chuckling over this.

After a few minutes of telling him it's rude and wrong to shout at me, Gerard was silent and eventually apologized for it. We hugged and I told him I love him.
He is growing up so fast!!
Meanwhile, our Aubrey is also growing up. A few days ago, when her brother was sleeping on the couch while sucking his fingers, she went up to him and tried to wake him up saying, "Fingers our, Darard!" Hearing this from the kitchen, I shouted for her to not wake him up and when I ran in, I realized what she was doing. She was just looking out for her brother.
They're pretty sweet, yeah.
