Watch us grow!
Peanut’s school called this afternoon to say that he woke up from his nap with a fever. Mama left work as soon as she could to pick him up. Once he was home, he laid himself down on the sofa to rest.
He later wanted to hang out on Mama’s lap in the comfy chair. We got a good hour of snuggle time before we had to pick up sister.
This morning, we went to G&M Farms for some pumpkin fun with friends.
Each family had a red wagon and Janie had fun picking out pumpkins.
There was a tennis ball shooting range that Janie and Sophie tried out with their dads.
There was a mini hay bale maze for the littles.
The popcorn pool was super fun too!
Janie rode one of the ponies around and around while Peanut watched from the fence.
The kids got measured at the pumpkin ruler.
The best part was riding the cow train. It goes really fast and they have a bunch of bumpy hills too.
There was so much to do and see at this farm.
This was the best we could do for a group photo of the kids.
Happy Fall!! This pumpkin patch gets an A+!
Peanut attended his make-up swim class this morning with Mama. He didn’t want to give the instructor high-fives but did all the other activities in the class. The most surprising part was despite his reluctance to even be in the water, he LOVED jumping into the water into Mama’s arms. He did it over and over again until class was over. A nice lady took a video for us.
For dinner we had a belated birthday celebration for Mama and Uncle Johnny at Trabocco. We actually managed to get a decent group photo this evening!
For dessert, we went to Loard’s for ice cream!! Yay!
We picked up Dada at the ferry terminal tonight and the kids did a great job eating snack while we waited in the parking lot.
While Mama went out with the neighborhood moms, Dada took the kids to Chipotle as part of a fundraiser for Peanut’s school. They finished a kids meal together and did a pretty good job at the restaurant.
The family was up extra early this morning to drop Mama off at the start line of her race. Dada took the kids to Denny’s for breakfast while Mama ran.
They found her at the finish line and Janie asked to wear the medal for the rest of the day.
We also got celebratory smoothies and went to IKEA to do some browsing/shopping.
This guy insisted on drinking the bottom of his smoothie without the straw. What a mess.
While we shopped the kids did some drawing with the tiny pencils they have all over the shop and Peanut pretended to take pictures of big sister with his “camera”.
I’m glad they were able to stay entertained during this shopping trip.
Mama’s old friend Auntie Holly was in town with her family this weekend and came over with Andrew and Sienna this afternoon. Janie was so excited to see her friend Andrew. Mama made dinner and the kids had a fun time making their own tacos. It was a big mess in the end but they had a blast together.
Later in the evening, the kids enjoyed their first thunderstorm with lighting and sudden downpours. They also played together until bedtime.
It’s so nice to see the next generation playing together without needing any time to warm up to each other. We don’t get these visitors from Southern California very often!!
For dinner, we went out for Chinese food to celebrate Dada’s upcoming birthday.
There was a birthday tart from Porto’s and lots of singing from Peanut.
Happy Early Birthday, Dada!
This evening, we went to Lawry’s for dinner. We all piled into the van together and met up with Uncle Johnny, Auntie Joy, and kids.
One of the perks of this restaurant are the meatballs and kettle chips that are waiting for you in the bar. Peanut filled up on prime meatballs before we were even seated.
Everything tastes better on a stick!
We also realized that this was Peanut’s first dinner at Lawry’s! It had also been at 3 years since Janie dined here as well.
It was also Leela’s first trip to Lawry’s. Too bad she’s not old enough to taste anything yet.
We kept the little one entertained with some toys at the table.
Janie got her very own kids plate complete with 4-ounce slice of prime rib, creamed corn, and mashed potato.
The kids each got a cool Lawry’s cup too!
What a fun dinner with the family!!
We took Yai out to Hang Ten Broiler for crab but they did not have crab today. Instead, we ordered lots of shrimp made two different ways. Still tasty.
Peanut also tried a lemon wedge and said it was “spicy”. Haha.
