Egg Hunt

IMG_2148

After visiting the condo, we went to the new park in the neighborhood to join Janie’s classmates in an egg hunt.

Everyone got a basket (including Peanut) and rushed the grassy area.

It was Janie’s first egg hunt and she’s usually really slow and picky whenever there’s a pinata, so we had to explain how it works. IMG_2160

Peanut found a few eggs of his own off to the side.

Janie made off with a pretty big stash of eggs – pretty good for her first time!

Here she is with, WuWu, one of her school buddies. They are equally goofy together.

The kids scored erasers, stickers, and chocolate eggs.

Playing Outside

IMG_2086

The rain stopped and the sun came out. So, there were plenty of puddles to play with and the worms all came outside. Janie and Gavin played in the puddles and gave the worms some extra water. It’s a good thing they have rain boots.

They later played on the structure and Peanut wanted to join them.

Peanut put on his backpack and took off. He looks like he’s trying to run away from home.

When he was all done, he tried to lock me out of the house.

Luckily, he didn’t and took a little rest on the door step with his milk.

Playground

Janie loves the playground outside and Peanut is becoming just as much of a participant lately.

Here’s his tough guy look on the playground. He’s gonna rule this place soon enough.

He’s always been so confident on the play structure and today he went all the way up and took the big spiral slide on his own.

Mama was more nervous that Peanut.

New Scooter

Dada got Janie a new Razor scooter that has two skinny wheels and a handle that turns the front wheel. The best part is that the wheels light up when they spin. It took some getting used to but she learned how to balance and steer after just a couple runs. She still doesn’t love it as much as her other scooter because she doesn’t get to go as fast. She’s just gonna need more time to practice.

Scootering

IMG_1654

This afternoon, we came home to find the neighbor kids riding their bikes up and down the driveway.

IMG_1655

So she jumped out of the car, hopped on her scooter, and took off.

She also got to ride her scooter to Safeway with Dada while Mama drove the car.

First Weekend

IMG_1625

On our first weekend in our new home started with a trip back to the SF condo to meet with a realtor and to pick up some more items. Janie came along and had to keep herself busy in the condo during our appointment. She was also squished in the back seat of the car with a bunch of boxes. As a special treat for being so good (and patient), she got her first Happy Meal. It came with 4 Chicken McNuggets, a tiny bag of fries, yogurt, and a Hot Wheels car. Fun!

In the afternoon, the kids had a fun time in the patio. They played bubbles, watered the plants and enjoyed the fresh air.

Janie also got to ride her scooter around the “front yard”. Boy oh boy…our weekends are definitely looking a lot different than they used to.

Our Front Yard

IMG_1604

Right outside our front door is a green belt (away from the street) and a playground. Everyone came home early today and the first thing Janie asked was if she could go play outside. So, that’s what she did and her little brother followed. It’s hard to see in this photo but the two of them are on the wood chips in front of the slide.

IMG_1605

Peanut is able to climb the slide on his own and quickly figured out how to go down on his own too.

IMG_1608

What fun!

When it was time for dinner, everyone got called in. So convenient!
