4-year-checkup
Peanut went to see his doctor today for his 4-year well child visit. He had his blood pressure taken and did a great job with the hearing test.
He also got weighed and measured like a big boy.
His least favorite part was taking his clothes off. This guy rarely wants to take his shirt off, not even in the pool. So he wore Mama’s jacket while he waited for the doctor to enter the room.
He also got his eyes checked and failed on one of his eyes. Looks like he needs to keep wearing his glasses and see an optometrist again soon.
He was so brave today and did a great job getting two shots in his arm. As a special treat, he picked out an umbrella for the rainy season.

Look what Peanut left on Mama’s phone last night.
Dinner Craziness
These kids…so wacky sometimes…actually, most of the time.
Halloween 2019
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!!!
Slumber Party!
Uncle Jason and Auntie Jia drove up today and the kids had so much fun eating dinner and dessert together.
Then it was a cousin slumber party in their bedroom.
They played Octonauts and then a game of Zingo.
Then they gathered around for stories. Janie did a great job reading to them.
It took them a while to settle down and fall asleep but overall they all did well.
Goofy Kids
Dada sent this photo to Mama while she was away on a work trip.
New Kicks
Peanut is wearing his new shoes to school today!
Spaghetti and Meatballs
The kids had dinner and a sleepover with Alice and Leela at Yai and Ta’s house. Uncle Johnny brought over spaghetti and meatballs from Olive Garden and it was a hit.
Space Shuttle!!!
Today, we went to the California Science Center with all the cousins. There’s a cool aquarium area as well as a pretend play area but the thing that Peanut was looking forward to most was seeing the Space Shuttle up close!
He was pretty happy to see it but kept asking when it was going to blast off. He and Thomas were glued to the screen that showed the lift off on repeat.
Here’s Peanut giving a beaver a check-up in the pretend play area.
We love it when all 6 cousins get to play together!
