Dim Sum Date

October 29, 2016 No Comments

We drove straight to Royal Garden from the airpot for dim sum with all of KK and Peanut’s uncles, aunties, and cousins.

We had been looking forward to this weekend for a very long time and it was so nice to see everyone.

Peanut got right to work on lunch and tried using a fork on his own today.

He had such a good time poking and eating on his own.

Look how popular Auntie Jia was today.

Janie was so happy to see her cousins Alice and Toni.

At one points, all 5 kids were at the fountain together but it was pretty impossible to get them to stay in one place and look at the camera at once.

This was the perfect way to kick off the long weekend and we had a satisfying meal after a long morning of travel.

Noodles and Legos

October 22, 2016 No Comments

For dinner, we met up with Uncle Bang, Rowan, and Isla in San Mateo.

Peanut had his fair share of noodles and Janie enjoyed sitting next to Isla.

After dinner, we went to Uncle Bang’s apartment to play Legos for a bit before heading home.

Next to Dada

This evening, Janie was being a grumpy grouch so Peanut sat next to Dada at dinner for a change.

He totally scored some risotto and sausage!! Yum.

This evening, we gave Peanut his dinner in a bowl with a spoon. He loved the spoon and dipped it into the bowl but still preferred to eat with his hand. Looks like big sister’s gonna have to show him how it’s done.

regulars

October 19, 2016 No Comments

We are regulars at this Thai restaurant down the street. We often go eat here when Dada is out of town or working late. The servers even recognize us – likely because you don’t often see a lonely mama with her two kids at this place. Dada wasn’t feeling well so we had an early dinner here without him. One of the servers even asked Mama in Thai “where’s your mom?” since this is also a regular place that we bring Yai when she is staying with us.

Janie asked the server for “Tom Kha Goong”, her favorite coconut soup. Mama was surprised she remembered what it was called in Thai and the waitress was delighted. Peanut loved the Pad Thai and ate 5 huge cubes of tofu all on his own.

Costco Lunch

October 16, 2016 No Comments

For lunch today, we went to Costco. Dada had to buy some chicken and we all needed to eat something.

Janie shared her pizza crust with Peanut and everyone was happy.

Then it was time to shop and the kids continued to snack. This is how we keep them entertained and well-mannered during a chaotic and crowded Sunday afternoon at Costco.

making pancakes

Janie helped make pancakes this morning.

Meanwhile, Peanut sat and watched while snacking on watermelon.

Then he got to taste one and was so happy. He ended up eating 5 mini pancakes this morning for breakfast!

pizza and toys

For lunch today, we went down to Burlingame to have pizza.

Look at this pizza-eating monsters! RRRR!!

Peanut also got some pizza and was delighted to have his own piece to chew on.

Afterward, we went across the street to the toy store. There was so much to do in the store, including this marble race display.

The kids each scored a Wonder Wand. It’s amazing how entertaining something as simple as water and glitter can be.

little monster

October 12, 2016 No Comments

This little guy reminds me of a little monster. He eats with gusto and does not care about rubbing his food all over his face. This evening, it was black beans on his face and in his hair.

He has a cute side that also has a little spark of mischief behind it.

Take your eyes off him for just a second and he’s up to no good. He is particularly fond of the clock radio lately.
