Well, his name is "Collin." That just predicts a future of athletic success.

a family just came into my library - daddy and 2 sets of twins... so cute but i know it has to be HELL in that house. LOL. the boys looked to be about 6 and the girls were 3 or 4. soooo cute! but i was glad when they left.

I was flipping through my DVR's Scheduled Recordings and it looks like there will be new episodes on Sunday and Monday.

The Sunday episode is Gosselin Movie night, I think. Are you freaking kidding me? We're gonna watch them watch a movie?

Monday is Girls' Day Out. Kate takes all 5 girls to a paint it pottery store. This one should be interesting. Messy and breakable stuff! Let the meltdown begin!

Kate and Mady's melt down is guaranteed! Cara will only get cranky if she's tired. Alexis will scream when Kate yells at her for, Heaven forbid, trying to paint.

Okay, I thought it was pretty pathetic to ride on JK8's success to market TLC's new show "The Singing Office". For the past few days now they've been running those JK8 Music Video commercials, but you had to watch "The Singing Office" in order to see it.

JK8 even had an hour-long episode last night...and they're having another one tonight.

I'm glad that the entire show wasn't about movie night. I couldn't help but laugh when they said they were watching Planet Earth. Somehow I just knew that "survival of the fittest" was going to happen at one point, and the kids might have a hard time with animals killing animals.

Too bad Kate assigned an animal to each kid. It wasn't too pretty when Alexis the Lion killed and ate Aaden the Monkey.

I thought it was funny when "Alexis" ate "Aaden." Everyone, except Mady (of course), seemed fine with it. Mady just had to dramatize the event....sheesh I love animals too, but lions have to eat too.

I just thought it was cute when Collin said, "see you gotta stay with your brothers and sisters Aaden" and then Alexis went to kiss Aaden! lol.


The quote i still laugh at was the golf episode when Collin says "look daddy, i'm holding my big stick." I just thought of this thread and the whole which one's gay comments. lol.

Kate was def the fun police in the bakery! Poor kids!!
I love love loved the "we have no talents so we'll put on a fashion show" episode as well. It made me want to play dress up again!

did anyone catch monday's episode where jon cooked a traditional korean meal? that was a really good episode, its the first one where they have talked about race; i think it was cute and interesting when they were saying that the kids argue about who's the most asian in the house. i found it interesting especially because even at four years old they already have this rudimentary sense of their racial heritage even though they dont know what it means yet.

I don't know that I'd call it racial identity if they don't understand what race is. Seems to me, they're pointing out ancestral characteristics about themselves and assigning the title (Asian) that their parents use. Only later will they learn that these ancestral characteristics induct them into a particular race as identified by Americans.

I didn't see the episode, but I can guarantee that it wasn't the first that talked about race.

I was kinda hoping he'd do more than kim chee and bul go gi, but it was pretty impressive nonetheless. I had a feeling Jon had ties to Hawai'i because I could've sworn I heard him say some local words and phrases -- benjo, for example (meaning bathroom).

Fried rice is a staple here, especially when you've got leftover rice in the rice cooker and you don't want to throw it away. Just like Korean food, cooking fried rice is easy -- it's preparing it that's a pain in the ass.

I was surprised the kids liked kim chee. I still hate it. That stuff stays in you for DAYS and the odor just leaves through your pores. The kids eating wasabi peas was classic! Their reactions were priceless!

Methinks we'll be taking out Korean food tonight.

People tend to parent the way they were parented, even without meaning to. Kate is very rigid, and with 8 children, I can see why she would NEED to be, but its like she doesn't know how to relax rules at all.
