Watch us grow!
Today we got up early and drove toward Half Moon Bay to Gray Whale Cove Beach. We met up with Sophie and Avia for another day at the beach.
The water was pretty cold but the kids played all day. It was so fun to see the girls playing together like they do in Hawaii.
This is becoming a fun annual day trip with our beach buddies. Can’t wait to do this again but in Hawaii this December! Yaaaay!
We went to Crab Cove this morning for Ethan’s 4th birthday party. Ethan is his best buddy since they were 18 months old and have been in the same class the whole time.
It’s great to have a beach so close to home!
Everyone made sand castles and dug in the sand. Our shovels from the Dollar Store really came in handy!
Peanut also buried his buddy’s legs at one point.
The kids went to swim and then enjoyed one of their favorite places to eat near Aquatech. They ate all their pizza so they got to choose a kid’s scoop of gelato.
It’s great how Janie isn’t as scared to order things for herself now. This has been a skill that we’ve had to work on for a couple years.
The kids are really into playing cards lately. Their favorites: Uno, Speed, and Go Fish.
It’s fun to have all the cousins in one house. They all play together and have little conversations.
Here’s one of Peanut and Thomas outside with the remote-controlled car.
Today is Janie’s 7th birthday and it happened to fall on a Saturday! So, we celebrated on her actual birthday with Legos, Pokemon, smoked brisket and ribs, and cake.
We hired a group called Bricks4Kids to come and run activities for all the kids.
Mama also decorated the cake with Pokemon.
The kids all gathered around the table and sang “Happy Birthday”.
Janie also got to make the first cut in the cake.
She ended up with lots of presents and Ta called to sing “Happy Birthday” to her too.
What a fun party!
It’s Auntie Eleen’s birthday so we offered to take Zoe and Maya for the afternoon. It later turned out to be a big kid party at Uncle Ian’s house with Dada and Uncle Ian doing all the cooking.
The big girls did some origami and the littles played Street Fighter.
After dinner, all the kids joined in to play Just Dance on the Nintendo Switch.
Today is Friday and also Share Day! Peanut brought an airplane to share for the letter A.
Mr. Bill also subbed in for his regular teacher today and read a book about airplanes.
This week’s letter is G and Peanut brought his garbage truck to share with the class. This best buddy also brought his – the same exact one!
