The Weekend After Our Vacation

After coming back from vacation, we were in full swing again with activities. Saturday was mainly spent in SF and Sunday was just a bunch of church related things. Overall, I'm glad I have summer off because there's no way I can teach with this hectic weekend.

 Bubble fun at the park

 Kids loved this!

 Rice krispie on a stick? Awesome!

 Hiding under a tunnel = genius

Although the weather report said that it was going to be 20 degrees cooler in SF, the sun was still shining. That meant we all turned pink. The weather in SF was gorgeous and unfortunately, nobody was willing to walk two blocks downhill to grab the sunblock in the car.

 Tomato picking in the backyard

For some odd reason, the kids are afraid of some imaginary penguin(s) at night. This might've started with opening their blinds and pretending that the hyenas are attacking them (thank you Lion King!). Lucas said he was scared at night. In turn, Char, who follows everything Lucas does, said she was scared to. I told them that they can both sleep in the same bed so that the other person can protect them.

 Night 1: attack of the imaginary penguins

The scary penguins came back the next night. This time, they decided to sleep in Char's bed. Char fell asleep before Lucas.

L: Charlotte's asleep already. No one will protect me.

Mommy: Don't worry, Char can just protect you when she's asleep.

L: Oh, okay.

 Night 2: attack of the imaginary penguins

When I asked if they were scared of penguins last night, they said no. Lucas told me the penguins didn't attack them cause they were busy sleeping in the playroom. Okay...

 Selfie with me and my best friend

 Selfie with matching hair clips from Vietnam

 Trying out their an dao's without pants

 Oh Charlotte...

 Lucas doing one of his favorite things in the world - spending time @ bookstore

I can't believe my baby boy turns four this Thursday. I told him he can do ANYTHING (key word: ANYTHING) he wants on his birthday. He told me he wants to go to the bookstore, pet store, then home. That's what would make him happy. Oh I love my simple-to-please boy.
