It’s Thursday and we are back in the groove of things. Peanut woke up super happy and played in his bed while Mama got ready for work.
We didn’t have a spot at storytime at the library today so Mirian took him to the new playground instead.
Back in SF
We had a quiet morning today on our first day back from Mexico. It’s also Labor Day today. Aaah…no school and no work. I think the kids were happy to be home with their toys again.
For breakfast, we went to Chinatown and Peanut had his first taste of Chinese fried dough. Yum.
On our walk home, we stopped at the playground for a little swinging. Weeeeee!

Mimi took Peanut and Andrea to the new playground today. Looks like he still loves to swing.
Sensory Party
Tia Patty opened her own sensory gym this year and invited us over for an afternoon of fun.
Peanut hung out in the ball swing with Max who is 10 days older.
There was a train table that he enjoyed destroying.
He also went for a ride on the little burros. First the brown one and then the gray one.
Janie had just as much fun swinging, crawling, jumping, and climbing.
The ball pit with lights underneath was by far her favorite part.
She and Sophie had a fun time together like two little girls in a hot tub.
Meanwhile, Peanut hung out in the pillow pit with Max, Liam, and McKenna. The twins were born just hours after he was at the same hospital!!
Hudson and Henry also came and had a good time.
Sabrina had fun at the train table too but was a little shy around the other kids.
It was so much fun to see all the kids and Mamas all together in one place.

Here’s a video of Janie on the trapeze. She wasn’t as fast as her friend Sophie but pretty good for her first try.
Thank you for such a fun party, Tia Patty! We love your gym!
lunch and playground
This afternoon we had lunch outside and then played some foosball.
On the way home, we stopped at the playground and Peanut got to ride on the swing again. It’s his favorite!
Sunny Sunday
Today was warm and sunny so Janie practiced riding her Strider while Peanut perused the brunch menu.

We spent most of the day outside and Peanut even got to explore The Embarcadero on foot.
Janie wore her new sunglasses that came in her goody bag from Vivian’s birthday party.
We stopped at Spark Social SF and had a snack on their swinging lounge chairs.
On the way home, we found a patch of grass for Janie to practice her soccer moves.
In the evening, we took a walk around the ballpark and it ended up being a great way for the kids to end their fun-filled day. They both fell asleep by the time we were home and Mama and Dada had an early evening to themselves.
Vivian’s Birthday Party
This afternoon, we drove to Lafayette to celebrate Vivan’s 3rd birthday. We arrived early so the kids played at the playground just outside of the gym.
Janie and Peanut enjoyed the firetruck the most.

The party took place inside a kid’s gym. All the kids had a blast climbing, jumping, swinging, and crawling.

Peanut spent some time with Sabrina on the rocking dome. Both were a bit unsure of all the movement.
The big girls tried the trapeze swings and had a fun time swinging, hanging, and crashing on the mat.

Even Avia gave it a try.
The party continued next door in the party room. Auntie Stephanie made some tasty food and everyone got a cupcake!
After the party was over, we hung out at the playground a bit longer.

Then we headed to Vivian’s house and the girls played together.
Happy Birthday, Vivian! We had a great time!
