We took the kids to Laguna Beach to check out the tidepools today.
Safari Party
We celebrated Janie’s 9th birthday at Auntie Jia’s house today. Auntie Jia and the twins decorated their house so nicely!
It was a safari theme and the boys enjoyed playing with their binoculars.
Happy Birthday, Baby Girl!!
First Day of School Part 2
After a whole year of remote learning, it’s the First Day of In-person School!! Yaaaaay! Peanut finally gets to attend Amelia Earhart School and see his teacher and classmates in person. It will be abbreviated but still worth the trouble.
With the different start and end times, we made arrangements for Janie to ride her bike to school with Maya, her older brother, and some other 5th graders. She was super excited about that.
Peanut also rode his bike to school with Mama and Dada. This is similar to how we walked KK to school on her first day of Kindergarten.
When we arrived, we took a couple photos and then went to the gate to meet his teacher, Ms. Wells. They all lined up 6 feet apart and then walked into the classroom together. So cute.
Here’s a side-by-side of Janie and Peanut’s first day of Kindergarten. So similar but so different at the same time.
Car Picnic
We still enjoy going to the food trucks on Saturday but the only difference is that we eat in the back of the van.
Getting Ready
It’s almost time for in-person school so the kids have been preparing. During their Zoom classes, they wore masks to help them get used to it.
They also got their COVID tests at the middle school.
Peanut also wanted to make his teacher a card.
Brunch on the Golf Course
We walked to the golf course in the neighborhood and enjoyed a yummy brunch outside.
Microwave!
This pink microwave toy was one of Peanut’s favorite toys at school and at Uncle Jimmy’s house. Auntie Eleen found one on Facebook and got it for him. He was so happy to finally have his own. Thank you, Auntie Eleen!!
Sunset
We came out for the cotton candy sunset this evening.
Together Again
After so many months of being at home and not together at school, Peanut and Ethan got to see each other at the playground. They enjoyed time in the wood chips, in the trees, and in our beach chairs sharing a snack.
School Day
Peanut was back in school today after a fun-filled Ski Week in Hawaii. He made a tan-gram picture.
We also took a walk along the lagoon for “recess”. He decided to bring his latest Lego creation along for a test drive.
