Tokyo Disney Fun, in the Rain

Friday we went to Tokyo Disneyland. It was Miss M's graduation from kindergarten ceremony, even though we still have 9 days left of school! We went a bit earlier simply because it was a good day for daddy to take off. The forecast called for occasional showers, but we thought we would take our chances. We got there around 10 and immediately got our fast pass for Pooh's Honey pot ride. Then the K Man wanted rides and more rides, and Miss M wanted to watch the parades. We divided and conquered! The rain was periodic throughout the day with some fairly strong showers at certain points, but we had our rain gear and enjoyed the cooler weather and shorter lines as opposed to hot sunny conditions and long lines. At around 5 it stopped and we thought we were in the clear. I took Miss M to the night time electrical parade and daddy took the K Man to drive cars and ride the rollercoaster in Toon Town. While driving, the rain picked up, but it did not stop the K Man. He just kept wanting to ride it over and over again. Unfortunately their rain gear was with us in the stroller. When we went to meet them to leave the park, they were soaked. The K Man put on his Mickey poncho and said, "Ok, now that we are in our rain gear can we go again?" So daddy, being the ever kind and patient daddy that he is, took him one last time. I think he drove the cars about ten times and rode the roller coaster about 6 times. It was a fabulous day in spite of the weather and we all had a lot of fun. Even the J Man, tagged along. I told the husband "He is such a good baby that I often forget he is around." He just went a long with the rest of us and never once got fussy or unhappy. Of course, how could he when he is at the happiest place on earth?!:)

May Fun

The weather is already HOT! We are trying to stay outside as much as we can before it gets hotter. Last week while K Man was in sports class, Miss M and I found some fun water she could play in. She said next time we need to wear bathing suits. I think it will become a weekly event while the K Man has class. She loved it. Today we went to the K Man's school for his birthday celebration. It was for all birthdays during the month of May. Turns out the other little boy was absent so the class celebrated the K Man by himself. The principal came and presented him with a card that the teacher made and did a magic trick for the kids. They made a pretend cake and acted like they were eating it. Then Mama got to give him a big hug. It was quite special and the card was super cute. The J Man is 12 weeks old now, and he just tags along with everyone else. He is such an easy going baby. I thought the K Man was laid back as a baby, but J is even more so. I am so thankful for how relaxed he is. I am not sure I could handle more chaos! :) He is giving me longer stretches of sleep, which is nice, waking up anywhere between 3-7, depending on the night. I wish there was a bit more consistency but I will take the random nights of good sleep. We are down to three more weeks of kindergarden for Miss M. I am counting down the days. We are only taking a two week break, but a break will be nice nonetheless. Daddy is busy with work and helping out at church. So, not much new to report. But I did have some fun pics I wanted to document so here you go.

5/15/15 - Scrapbook Day

Scrapbook day for May fell on a Friday. This Friday particularly I had my last doctor appointment for awhile, I hope. The doctor took my bloodwork and once he has the results will determine if I need to be on the blood thinner after 30 more days. If I can go off the blood thinner, then I am clear from the doctor until next year for a yearly exam. YAY! On Fridays Miss M goes to soccer. Today, the K Man had a trial soccer lesson before her class with second and third year youchien kids. Although the other kids were 5 years old, and  he is only 4, he did great and had a lot of fun! They said he could join that class or a 4 year old class on Tuesday or Thursday. We opted to put him with the older kids since he is bigger, and I want to combine our activities as much as possible so I do not have to tote three kids around to so many different places. We actually biked to soccer and Miss M biked over a huge bridge by herself. I was so proud of her. We had to walk some of it, but she did a great job. After soccer the kids were fairly worn out, so we ate a quick dinner, baths and then bed. Enjoy the pics from our scrapbook day and other adventures from this particular week in May, 2015.

Golden Week Fun
