Dada made a small campfire in the bottom part of his smoker this evening and we made s’mores for dessert! Who needs to go camping when you can do THIS?!
Yummy!!
Cherry Picking
It’s been 2 months of Shelter-in-Place and the kids hadn’t left Alameda this entire time. We went on a special outing to Brentwood for some cherry picking. The farm we went to took appointments and when we arrived, it was nice and empty. We had rows and rows to ourselves and SO MANY CHERRIES to pick!
The kids had a great time and they were excited to bring home all the cherries for snacking.
This guy couldn’t wait and had his fair share of samples while were were picking.
We brought home 9 pounds of cherries and we were done by 9:30 when it started to rain.
We also stopped at 99 Ranch on the way home and waited in the car while Dada shopped.We had some cherries and also walked to the donut shop next door to pick up some treats.
Peanut fell asleep with the donut in his hand on our drive home.
Siblings
Having a sibling has so many benefits. During this crazy shelter-in-place (almost two months), they keep each other company. Today, they set up camp in the garage, played all day, and had lunch together.
They may have separate rooms but somehow they still end up together at night too.
Thai Savory Omelette
Mama made one of her childhood favorites for the kids today: Thai savory omelette.
The kids apparently like it just as much and gobbled it up before Dada could get some.!
More Inside Activities
Peanut helped Dada make salad today. He’s becoming quite the little helper lately.
Then we had dinner with Ankong, Ama, Toni, Thomas, Auntie Jia, and Uncle Jason over Zoom.
We had another family game night after dinner and played “SORRY!” This is how we spend our crazy Friday nights now. 🙂
Korean Dinner
We ordered Korean food from Bowl’d today and the kids loved their kid’s bowls with all the side dishes that came with our food.
First Outing
The kids went for their first car ride since 3/15/2020. We went to i-Tea to pick up some lychee drinks and then drank them in the car while Dada went to the store to pick up some groceries.
Chocolate Chip Cookies
The kids helped make chocolate chip cookies with Mama today. Peanut’s favorite part is operating the mixer.
They turned out great! So yummy!
Hot Sauce
Peanut likes hot sauce now but I think he put too much on his fish this time around.
Home with Dada
It’s Peanut’s third day at home with Dada and Janie. Today, they had leftover Chinese food for lunch.
Janie also had an art class led by the art teacher at Yu Ying. She learned how to draw an octopus and Bulbasaur.
Peanut did a reading lesson in his book today. Today, he had to practice writing the letters “c” and “d”.
He also drew a truck and mini truck being pulled by the bigger truck. Mama helped him write “BEEP BEEP!”
Leela called Janie from Yai’s house today.
Janie’s friend, Maya, from the neighborhood came by while she was riding her bike. They were able to say “hi” to each other from a distance.
