After receiving Alice’s postcard from Arizona, Janie wrote a letter back to her. She got to use Mama’s stationary too!
Free Time
This is a note from a kid who might be over-scheduled. She was so happy to have a day free of any activities or homework.
Tiny Notes
Janie left these tiny notes for Dada on his desk.
On fire
Last night, Janie was on fire. She cleaned her room, picked out her clothes for today, packed her snack in her backpack, and put out the dishes for breakfast. This morning I found this checklist for her morning.
Hawaii, here we come!
It’s time for our annual trip to Oahu, Hawaii! We got up early this morning and waited for the bus in the dark. Luckily the kids were wearing their light-up bracelets and waving them around because that was the only way the bus driver even noticed us. It almost didn’t stop for us!!!
On the plane, the kids did a great job. Janie started her homework packet and then they both watched videos and played games on their iPads.
Janie learned how to write her name in cursive too!
Our flight was on time and we caught an Uber to the hotel. The room was ready at 3pm and we finally got to bring our stuff upstairs.
This year, we are at the Hilton Hawaiian Village and got a room at the Rainbow Tower with a sweet view from our lanai!
After settling in and changing into swimsuits, we found the Tsaos at the hotel ice cream shop!
We spent the rest of the day in the Super Pool and then went out for ramen.
What a great way to start our week-long vacation!!
Drawing
Peanut says the one on the left hill is him and the one on the right hill is Janie. Thw blue circles are clouds.
Thanksgiving 2019
It’s Thanksgiving! Janie made this cool art project at AIK last week. It was perfect for today.
In the morning, the kids sorted cranberries, Janie cut up the apple, and then helped make the cranberry sauce/relish.
She also helped with peeling the carrots and making the gravy with Dada.
Uncle Victor and Auntie Susie came over with Parker and Lil Boom for dinner. Peanut was a little hesitant around his new friend Parker but then warmed up to him quickly.
He helped feed him some puree and then built block towers for him to knock down.
Janie also got some snuggle time with Lil Boom.
We had another fun and tasty Thanksgiving and happy to have part of our SF family back in our home for this holiday.
Surprised Giraffe
Janie left a drawing/note for Mama in her mailbox today.
Easel
We got an easel at IKEA over the weekend and the kids have been having a lot of fun with it. They took turns drawing and we ended up with this cool collage of stuff. Makes me want to frame it.
Little Notes
On Thursdays, Mama volunteers in Janie’s classroom and leaves notes in her pencil box. It’s funny how Janie dates them and replies back.
