It’s President’s Day and Janie was invited over to Jasper’s house for the day.
Looks like they had a busy day filled with playing inside and outside.
Day with Jasper
It’s Veteran’s Day and with Mama at work and no school, Janie was invited to Jasper’s house for the whole day again. When she arrived, there was an agenda and then they were off!
They went to the playground again (across the street from his house).
They did some coding on their iPads.
After lunch, they made chocolate chip cookies and then went outside again while they cooled.
It looks like they had a lot of fun again!
Jasper’s House
Today is a Staff Training Day so there was no school. Jasper’s mom was nice enough to invite Janie over for the day so she didn’t have to go to Yu Ying. In the morning, Dada dropped her off and Jasper made a schedule for the day.
They built a fort and also played in the cardboard time machine that Jasper already had in the livingroom.
They also had some time at the playground that is located across from his house and she saw a familar face there – ZOE!
After lunch, they made a gingerbread Halloween house and decorated cookies.
On top of all these activities, Janie also got an introduction to coding on her iPad with Jasper and his dad. What a fun-filled day!
2nd Graders
Jasper’s mom took this photo today. It’s gonna be a great year with Ms. Bliss!
Pokemon Lego Camp
This week, Janie attended Pokemon Lego Camp at Bay Farm School. Her buddy Jasper was there too and his mom took this cute photo of them on their last day.
Performance
Janie had a performance this morning at school. It was a mix of singing and speaking parts telling us how we can keep our planet healthy.
We only got some short clips of the singing.
Here is Janie’s speaking part. She was too busy smiling at Dada when it was her turn and her friend Rory had to cue her. Oops. Luckily she still remembered her parts.
Jasper’s mom sent us a few photos and Dada was able to attend too.
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!
Swim and Gymnastics
Janie had a busy day that started with a make-up swim class, then lunch, and then straight to a birthday party at the gymnastics center.
Her good buddy Jasper was also at the party and his mom caught this funny photo of them together.
Bowling Date
We met up with Janie’s classmate and buddy Jasper today. They played two rounds of bowling together.
Ferry Building
Today, we rode the ferry over to SF to pick up some french bread at Acme per our usual post-Thanksgiving tradition. We have so much turkey left over that some sandwiches are in order!
It was a rainy day but no one seemed to mind.
On the ride over, the kids played Go Fish.
Janie was also reunited with Chris, her favorite crew member from her days of commuting with Dada everyday!
After picking up our bread, we got in line for Hog Island Oyster Co. As we waited for a table, the kids played in the rain and puddles.
Janie still loves her oysters!!
The kids also got some soft serve before we headed back across the bay.
On our ride back, we bumped into her classmate and pal, Jasper, who was riding back after a day at the Exploratorium.
