Finally

Updated my blog now.
Sorry for the 2 weeks blank. As I told everyone that we might move to Massachusetts soon, everyone got rushed tried to do something with us before we move I guess.
We were going out with different people everyday.
I didn't have time to do anything, clean, cook, feed, wash, bath and sleep and times up everyday.
Kids don't like me sitting on computers either so it's so hard to do computer work during day.


Anyway, kids are amazingly well behaved everyday every time. I have to say we are so lucky to have them.


Hope you enjoy my blog this week

Still want to write you back to your old emails.

Will try will try!!!


Love Tomomi

St Patrick's day parade

Scott had a systema seminar yesterday so I took kids to the st Patrick's parade. We joined the nursery group to walk parade with. This nursery is Lilly used to go every Friday before she starts Steiner. It was great to catch up with teachers.
We saw cool old cars, amazing fire engines, local supermarket gave away snacks to the kids from the truck, it was fun to watch this parade too. Kids loved watching the parade and get treats.

We all need to dress up with greens. I decorate our stroller with green feathers that auntyM gave it to Lilly last week.


After the parade we went to have lunch at bowling lane. Had a huge pizza lunch then walked back home.

As we were abt 10mins away from home, I realized I left whole my bag at bowling lane!!!!!!
I went back to friends house, dropped kids off to her then went back to the lane by myself.
They kept my bag behind the counter!! NY is still amazing!
I had my $1000 iPhone with me so I thought maybe someone already took my wallet but I can't complain.
I checked my wallet, there was my wallet in my bag. Looked inside. It was same as I touched before.
I really have to be more careful. With kids, there are tons of thing I have to be careful with and I always make one or two silly mistakes.
But I was so lucky I didn't loose any and my kind friend Marie she looked after my kids perfectly.

Our

Cherry blossom in backyard is beautiful!!!
It's great to see this tree changes alot in one year. Our favorite season now. But me and scott we both are having a hay fever at the moment.

Kids museum

AuntyM took us to the kids museum on Thursday.
Had great time and because auntyM did a lot of research before we go, we made it to enjoy our day there for free!

After the museum we went to McDonald for lunch. Kids had a great day. I had a great time with auntyM too.

Lilly said we love auntyM! It was cute.

Hot outside

It was like a summer outside.
Decided to have lunch outside.
Kids love bento lunch box so I made it for them.
They were so excited to open it and ate well too.
After lunch the kids played in the playground till Connors nap time.
It is amazing to have own playground at home ;)

We love making play doughs.
We can spend all morning play with it.
Lillys good at mixing it.

4 generations

Went to see play with auntyM and aunty Tess in garden city.
The play was fun,Lilly was happy to see all the live instruments such as piano, guitar, drums.

Aunty Tess is amazing 97yo women. She said she had the best time ever on this day.
3yo, 34yo, 67yo and 97yo went out together. That was a great experience for me and Lilly.

Pizza and TV YEY





Made Zucchini mini cakes for kids snack. Non-sugar, Non-butter.



Pizza for lunch. It seems American kids love plain cheese pizza here but I think its nothing. No nutrition. And also Lilly and Connor prefers cheese pizza. They try taking out all the veggies on top so I chopped veggies small and mixed with tomato sauce then kids ate it all without taking veggies out. (its impossible take them out so :) ) 


We normally have every meal at table but kids were doing good all morning and I thought something different is always fun for kids so I let kids to sit on floor and put their favorite DVD on. Its against Steiner education but its my way, I think its ok sometime.




We went to Aquarium on COnnor's birthday since then Lilly loves seals. Sea lions. So I made this :)





Connor always want to do something with dogs. too cute.

Busy Thursday



It was very warm beautiful day last Thursday.

Thursday is Lilly's Steiner School day but Scott couldn't drive us so we asked our great neighbor  auntyM and she drove us and stayed with us whole session at Steiner school. It was so good to have her all morning.  



Came back home and it was still very nice outside so I decided to have lunch outside.



Table sets we got from AuntyM and Uncle Peter next door last year. It great.


Dogs enjoyed warm weather with us too.




Connor loves apples eat like this. He doesn't really eat when I cut it for him...


Kids were having good time



Lilly made a bouquet with fallen leaves.


Then I got a call from friend so we invited them 



This family always give us these girls old (sometimes brand new!!) clothes to Lilly. So we don't buy cloths at all!!



The girls played crazy and Lilly and Connor had dinner at 5:00, went to bed at 7:00 earliest EVER!!




Oh Connor is too cute...
