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.

Day with Jasper

It’s Veteran’s Day and with Mama at work and no school, Janie was invited to Jasper’s house for the whole day again. When she arrived, there was an agenda and then they were off!

They went to the playground again (across the street from his house).

They did some coding on their iPads.

After lunch, they made chocolate chip cookies and then went outside again while they cooled.

 

It looks like they had a lot of fun again!

Last Day of Soccer

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.

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.
