Watch us grow!
What a spectacular view we have this time around. We love hanging out on the lanai when we are taking a break from the sun. This morning, Janie did a Facetime call with her friend Maya and shared the view with her.
We love the renovations they made last year complete with new furniture and flooring.
The little kids passed the time collecting acorns in front of Leela and Alice’s house today.
Alice and Janie put together a scavenger hunt for the little ones today. They drew pictures of different animals on cards and taped them to plastic knives that they hid around the neighborhood. Each kid took turns looking for an animal until they were all found.
These two monkeys had a fun time playing in these boxes tonight.
It’s Alice’s Birthday AND Halloween today. Uncle Johnny prepared some fun activities as part of the birthday celebration.
Take a look at these balloon animals!!
We all sang “Happy Birthday” to Alice and then headed out for some Socially Distant Trick-or-Treating.
The neighborhood moms planned a scavenger hunt and doors were decorated. Candy was left out in buckets at the door front too.
They all made out like bandits tonight!!
Five months ago, these two boys were the last ones left in their preschool before it finally had to close because of shelter-in-place ordinances. Today, they got to see each other again and it was so fun! Turns out they both learned how to ride two-wheeled bikes during their time in isolation and were so excited to ride together.
They are climbed the tree by the playground together and played like they had just seen each other yesterday at school.
We may be starting with Distance Learning but we still have to take a first-day-of-school photo!!
I remember what a milestone it was for Janie to start Kindergarten. Take a look at a comparison to her first day of K photo!! Both have the same cheesy excited smile. So cute.
After the photos, we all went back inside and hopped on their first Zoom class. Ms. Wells looks so nice and Peanut seemed to follow along just fine.
He made a First Day of Kindergarten crown and name tag just like Janie did!
Here he is wearing his gearn with the rest of the class.
This was Ms. Wells reading the class a story about Chester, their class mascot.
Here is Janie in her first class with Ms. Suzuki. She is an older and more experienced teacher with lots of rules and instructions. 3rd grade is a big jump from 2nd grade! What’s nice is that Janie’s old classmates from Ms. Bliss’ class are all back together again!
Today was Peanut’s packet pick-up day. It was another drive-by event.
When it was time to receive his materials, we asked if this teacher was Ms. Wells and it was!! It was a great coincidence that his assigned teacher was the one that gave him his packet!!! She looks really nice!
Peanut got all his school supplies, a Chrome book, and materials for the first 4 weeks of school.
This is what was in his first week packet. So exciting!
The kids spent with the day with Toni and Thomas!
Of course there was pool time and lunch together.
Peanut even managed to get a nap in on the sofa too!
