Happy birthday to my favorite cousin, Kenji! We visited Seattle to celebrate his big day. He specifically requested a rainbow cake.
He liked dipping his finger in the frosting.
Then it was time to blow out the candles.
SUCCESS!
One thing I gave him were my old Duplo blocks.
He liked them as much as I did.
Then the next morning, we went to brunch. Kenji loves to put Daddy’s hood on his head! Happy birthday, Kenji!
Nana and Papa are visiting the Pacific Northwest, so I took them to one of my favorite places – Color Me Mine!
We carved the pumpkins I got at the pumpkin patch! I sketched out their faces on paper so Mommy would know how to carve them.
This is a Teeter Popper, but I’ve repurposed it as lounge furniture.
Daddy is making a short movie with his judo sensei. He bought this hat as a prop. I look pretty good in it, huh?
My first kindergarten field trip was to Lee Farms (where I had many preschool field trips before).
Our school bus was late in arriving, so we spent some time in the library first. Mommy was a chaperone and was in charge of me and Anna.
The first thing we all did when we got there was splash in puddles!
A man told us about a bunch of varieties of pumpkins.
And another man showed us how they made apple cider in the olden days.
We saw a bunch of animals, including chickens. As usual, this was my least favorite part. But Anna loved them all.
Then I picked out my pumpkin! We’re going to carve it before Halloween.
Mommy needed some food for our dinner, so we walked to Safeway. (I danced.)
The waiting is the hardest part…
Our whole townhouse complex is getting painted and I like to watch the painters doing their jobs.
