Scrapbook Day July 13, 2013

For Scrapbook Day on this month it was a Saturday! We love Saturdays because it means Daddy is home to hang out. We hosted Community Group for our church that morning and then went with another family to our first movie as a family. We took the kids to see Anpanman, a Japanese cartoon show that they love, that was on the big screen. This was the first big movie for both of our kids and we were not sure how they would do. They had a blast! The K Man loved the big chair and his oversized juice. Miss M loved the gourmet pink popcorn that was strawberry flavored. Every time Anpanman came on the screen, the K Man would scream "Anpanman!" I am not sure what it is about this character, but Japanese kids LOVE it! Anpanman comes on every Friday afternoon at 4:20 for 30 minutes and we try not to miss it. Even before Miss M watched the show, she knew about the character. You can see him everywhere in Tokyo and somehow the kids learn who he is. Pan means bread in Japanese so he is this super hero made from bread. All of the characters are named after bread...Shokupanman is super bread man, Mellonpanna is a sweet bread which you can buy at most local bakeries, and Currypanman is a character based from curry and they make a curry filled bread at bakeries as well. A few days later we found an Anpanman mask and a girl Power Ranger mask at the grocery store. We bought one for each kid and you can see the K Man sporting Anpanman's face. We also had fun the next day taking Daddy to the splash pool that we go to at least once a week and showing him some of our daily life while he is at work. It was a fun scrapbook day/weekend...our first movie as a family. As Kan said, it was like the Visa card commercial...you keep swiping the card for tickets, popcorn, and drinks, but the look on your kids faces enjoying the movie is priceless.
