Watch us grow!
The kids love calamari. Peanut especially enjoys is grilled or fried. They call it “squid jerky” and it’s their special afterschool treat right before going to kung fu on Thursday nights. Today we got it after Sunday kung fu. We have so many make-ups from our vacation.
Back in October, Mama bought tickets to the lighted train ride and the day has finally arrived! It’s one of the oldest trains in the country and they decorate it up for Christmas each year.
We all boarded and brought snacks and hot chocolate for the kids.
It was raining but we were in a covered car with jackets on.
The inside cars had restrooms and a cafe to buy other snacks and drinks.
The train ran from one station to another and then back in the other direction.
In this photo, Peanut is saying “we love trains!”
What a fun ride and it was a great way to kick off the holiday season!
It’s Wednesday and there was a break in the rain so they still got to go on their Nature Walk.
Today, Team Spain had their last game of the season. Janie did a great job as goalie (that’s her making the save) and almost scored at goal!
She had a lot of hustle and good footwork today.
After the game, the team met up at Linguini’s for a pizza party. Coach Henon also handed out trophies to all the girls.
Peanut sat with his buddy Evan while he ate his lunch.
We also got a cute photo of Zoe and Janie together. It was fun having Uncle Jimmy as our assistant coach this season!
As a special treat, Mama and Auntie Eleen walked Janie, Zoe, Peanut, and Aliya to the game store down the street. They have Pokemon card dispensers there!
For 75 cents, you can get 5 Pokemon cards from the machine. So fun!
We are so proud of our big girl. It was her first time playing on a soccer team and she made some big improvements throughout the season. She was also selected to play in the All-Star game in December but we will be in Hawaii that day. It’s too bad she won’t get to play but we still couldn’t be any prouder.
It’s Wednesday so his class went out for their weekly nature walk. Peanut is in the back in an Ironman hoodie with his hands in his pockets like a cool guy.
The kids insisted on sorting the Halloween candy today. Janie also likes to wear her costume as pajamas too.
Peanut loves his Octonauts Gups. He lined them all up in alphabetically order today.
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!!!
Here is Janie’s official soccer photo. We think the one Mama took came out better so we didn’t order.
The team photo came out well though!
