The kids are spending the night at Zoe and Maya’s house and the girls started trading Pokemon cards right away. Thanks to Uncle Jimmy and Auntie Eleen for taking them while Mama and Dada went to a concert in San Francisco.
First Soccer Game
Team Spain had their first soccer game and it was against Uruguay. Janie played goalie for part of the game and then got to kick the ball around for the other part of the game.
We brought our chairs and wagon for a full-on sideline experience with everyone.
Peanut also rode his Strider around on the baseball field.
Here’s a photo of the team in their uniform! Uncle Henon and Uncle Jimmy are the coaches this season and everyone got a pair of matching red socks with paw prints on them. We will wear them at all future games together.
Tennis-Pokemon Buddies
This week at Tennis Camp has been extra fun because Zoe is there too!!
After Tennis, Auntie Eleen picked them both up and brought them home to have snacks a couple games of Pokemon.
Backyard Performance
We had a small gathering at Uncle Jimmy’s house this evening and the kids did a “performance” on the swing set today.
Busy Saturday
We had an eventful Saturday. It started with the kids playing outside in the morning. They traded Pokemon cards and ran around as usual.
Then it was time to go to Hudson’s 2nd birthday party. Peanut enjoyed making a mask with lots of glue and sequins.
Right after that party, we headed to Zoe and Maya’s house to celebrate Uncle Jimmy’s birthday. The girls played school, which included the little girls being the teachers and assigned the big girls some math problems.
Janie and Peanut also played a little tee ball outside.
Janie’s 7th Birthday
Today is Janie’s 7th birthday and it happened to fall on a Saturday! So, we celebrated on her actual birthday with Legos, Pokemon, smoked brisket and ribs, and cake.
We hired a group called Bricks4Kids to come and run activities for all the kids.
Mama also decorated the cake with Pokemon.
The kids all gathered around the table and sang “Happy Birthday”.
Janie also got to make the first cut in the cake.
She ended up with lots of presents and Ta called to sing “Happy Birthday” to her too.
What a fun party!
Babysitting
It’s Auntie Eleen’s birthday so we offered to take Zoe and Maya for the afternoon. It later turned out to be a big kid party at Uncle Ian’s house with Dada and Uncle Ian doing all the cooking.
The big girls did some origami and the littles played Street Fighter.
After dinner, all the kids joined in to play Just Dance on the Nintendo Switch.
Father-Daughter Dance
For Valentine’s Day weekend, Daddy and Janie went out for a special event that was run by Girls Inc (the organization that runs her aftercare program). We got her a new dress and shoes just for the event and she was so excited.
Here they are together before Uncle Jimmy picked them up.
Before the dance, they went out for dinner at Trabocco.
Here they are at the dance. It was a space theme and had lots of fun crafts and a dance floor too!
Zoe and Maya’s House
We had dinner at Zoe and Maya’s house today! They had fun playing together and Janie came home with some handmade ornaments for our tree.
Dinner Together
We went to a local Thai restaurant for dinner tonight and Auntie Eleen was already there with Zoe and Maya! So we sat next to them and had dinner together! So fun!
