Halloween 2019

No Comments

It’s Halloween and the kids were ready! Here is a drawing that Janie made at school earlier this month.

She also wrote something on the fridge this morning.

This year, they dressed up as kangaroos. These were some super comfy costumes and they got to carry a stuffy in their pouches.

Before the neighborhood started trick-or-treating, we went to the local shopping center to go door to door at the stores.

Then the kids all gathered outside our house and then took off!

Peanut’s buddy, Ethan, joined us again this year.

The neighbor boys, Gavin and Collin, also came along.

We were out until dark and the house lights were all on.

Some houses went all out!!

The kids came home with quite a load of candy this year!

This will have been their 5th year of coordinated outfits. So cute!!!

Slumber Party!

No Comments

Uncle Jason and Auntie Jia drove up today and the kids had so much fun eating dinner and dessert together.

Then it was a cousin slumber party in their bedroom.

They played Octonauts and then a game of Zingo.

Then they gathered around for stories. Janie did a great job reading to them.

It took them a while to settle down and fall asleep but overall they all did well.

Busy Saturday

No Comments

Mama kinda overdid it today. We had a bunch of make-ups to do and they all got scheduled on the same day as Janie’s soccer game.

It started with make-up kung fu classes for both kids at 10:00 and 10:45.

Then it was off to Aquatech for swim make-ups for both kids at 12:00pm. We barely had time to grab lunch so we stopped for burritos on the way home and ate in the car.

Peanut was so tired that he fell asleep in the middle of eating his burrito. Poor guy. Once we got home, Janie had just enough time to change into her soccer stuff and Peanut continued to nap in the car parked in the garage.

We arrived at the soccer field by 1:50 to warm up for the 2:20 game.

Peanut enjoyed being a spectator and trading Pokemon cards with Evan.

Janie did well considering she was so tired from a full day of activity. However, her fuse was pretty short at one point and did better once she was moved over to Uncle Jimmy’s team to finish out their game as goalie.

Mama knows better than to schedule so many back-to-back activities in one day. We were so done after soccer that we also canceled on our dinner plans.

Jasper’s House

No Comments

Today is a Staff Training Day so there was no school. Jasper’s mom was nice enough to invite Janie over for the day so she didn’t have to go to Yu Ying. In the morning, Dada dropped her off and Jasper made a schedule for the day.

They built a fort and also played in the cardboard time machine that Jasper already had in the livingroom.

They also had some time at the playground that is located across from his house and she saw a familar face there – ZOE!

After lunch, they made a gingerbread Halloween house and decorated cookies.

On top of all these activities, Janie also got an introduction to coding on her iPad with Jasper and his dad. What a fun-filled day!
