Scrapbook day 1/16/2016

Scrapbook day for the first month of 2016 has come and gone. It fell on a Saturday this month. I am a bit behind on the blog but hope to catch up this weekend. The kids and I travelled to Melbourne, Australia for ten days to visit our dear friends we met while living in Tokyo. We had just returned home on the 15th on a red eye flight, arriving in Tokyo at 10 in the morning. To say mama was exhausted is an understatement. So, Saturday on our scrapbook day, we did not do much of anything. The kids relaxed at home playing with their toys. We went to the mall next door for lunch and enjoyed some udon noodles and onigiri. We followed up with a Japanese curry dinner, we and filled the kids with foods they had missed while in Melbourne. Mama took a nap and caught a yoga class. Miss m had a make up art lesson where she drew a bird. She followed up with painting it this week. Daddy and the K man ventured to a local park to try out our new boomerang. After the kids were put in bed, mama and daddy started a new show to binge watch, Homeland. All in all it was a great day and it was so nice to spend the day together as a family after a ten day separation. The pictures below are current from this month....kids sleeping in a hotel one night outside Melbourne, kids on the plane before we take off, and the J man at home in Tokyo showing off his skills of pulling himself up.
