The kids spent the afternoon in the garage and opened the kinetic sand box.



They worked together to make a layer cake with decorations too.

Watch us grow!

Trader Joe’s is giving out stickers again and they’re HUGE!!!

The kids did some drawing at lunch today and Peanut made a very elaborate rocket house.





It has lots of floors, grabbers outside, and Mama gets to relax.

We did some outdoor dining at one of our favorite restaurants. We learned it was their last day before they will have to close for the holidays because of the upcoming COVID-19 surge.



We opted for tiny Christmas trees this year. The kids still got to do some decorating and they turned out really cute!

We added some tiny lights to make them extra festive.

Mama also put lights up outside and inside the house. We are ready for the holidays!



Peanut received his new yellow-black belt today. Way to go!



He’s like our very own Little Bruce Lee.


We went back to El Dorado Park this morning for their Nature Center Trail. It started out great with lots of enthusiasm and curiosity.

Then slowly the boy started to get tired and hungry and it was all downhill from there.

There was a lot of cajoling and negotiating for the latter half of the walk. Peanut was so unhappy and said he “couldn’t walk anymore”. *sigh*

He fell asleep just minutes after getting back in the car so maybe he really was tired. We’re gonna have to build up his walking muscles and bring a snack next time.

For Thanksgiving, Janie helped Dada quite a bit. She even prepped and cooked the mushrooms herself.

What a big girl we have now!

Dinner was delicious and we were so happy to be with the family for Thanksgiving this year. It was are first time in many years!!


These two monkeys had a fun time playing in these boxes tonight.



Look at these kids. Peanut has so many things to play with and Janie finished a puzzle with Yai. So fun.
