Our Family of Six

“I guess there is something called dish soap and something called dish washer soap and a huge bubbly mess if you use the wrong one,” said Sisi on her Facebook page.  Sisi did this just the other day.  It was kind of funny that it took her 8 months to make this mistake.

S’Mores (and roasted marshmallows) are delicious.  Sisi first heard of them in Brazil while watching the show “Jon & Kate Plus 8”.  Every time we’ve gone camping, she asks for “some more”.  (Yeah, you can groan, but my international readers probably didn’t know what that stands for.)

Going to Chuck E Cheese, a “lifelong dream”, was not as exciting as it looked on the show “Dexter’s Laboratory”.  (Have I mentioned that Sisi watched a LOT of American TV in Brazil?)

Chopping wood with an axe and using power tools is a lot of fun.  Sisi helped me build sets for Rebecca’s show; she loved using the power saw.

Other things Sisi had never seen before:

Drive-thru pharmacies, banks, mailboxes

Self-service gas stations

Garbage disposals (kind of scary)

Milk in individual cartons

Self-serve soda machines; Self-serve frozen yogurt

A few foods Sisi had never tried before:

Dr Pepper – tastes like candy

Root Beer – tastes like medicine

Donuts – delicious; a BIG hit

Peanut butter – thumbs down

Artichokes – thumbs down

Orange Chicken from Panda Express – way too spicy

Whoppers (chocolate malted milk) – a new favorite candy
