Happy Birthday Scott!

All Scott wanted for his birthday... was a CUBS win... Uh, he had to settle for dinner at Olive Garden.
The waiter skipped the little chocolate cake and brought him this yummy, fruity, smoothie, berry concoction. It was quite "fkoosnah." That's how to say "tasty" in Russian!

Speaking of speaking in Russian... Scott is definitely in the honors program for learning Russian. We bought a CD a long time ago with "helpful phrases for Russian adopters." Scott knows sooooo many phrases already! Now, will they actually be helpful? That's yet to be seen!

The CD tracks are broken up into categories, like:
WHEN YOU MEET YOUR CHILD- Here we learn phrases like, "I'm your Papa." "This is for you." "I love you." "We are a family."

Then, there's the track:
ON THE PLANE- Here we learn, "Sit down!" "Be quiet!" "Don't touch that!" "Come back here!" "Do you need to go poo poo?"
I think I've been in denial about the fact I'll be traveling for 20 hours with one (or maybe two!) small children. How do you say, "Yikes!" in Russian???

Do you know how to cure the "yikes" in Russian? Popov Vodka. You'll do fine G.
