"wake up"...!

Luka fell asleep in the jumper and Kai was trying to wake him up.

Not a chance...Luka is out!

catch up on blogging...!

Appointment at the doctor's office.

Luka found some toys in the waiting room.

Taking some selfies...

We saw a rainbow 2 days in a row!

We are still eating a lot!

...and I lightened my hair a bit! yikes...

silly game...!

This is a new game Kai started...

he's so silly.

ん？またおかしなことしてる～！

そして今日も同じ事。

Same thing today--playing these silly games. hahahaha!

Pancakes...!

Mmmmm pancakes♥

ホットケーキ。

This was the morning James was to return from Ohio.

We missed daddy!!

この日はパパが帰ってくる日！

一週間もいなくて寂しかったね～。

stuck...!

お尻が大きすぎて...

uh-oh...somebody got stuck!

Luka and Auntie ♥

Auntie is here!!

Since daddy is out in Ohio this week, auntie made an extra trip over here to see her nephews.

Luka loves her glasses.  Kai used to do the same thing to!

エリカおばちゃんが遊びに来ました。

パパはオハイオ州でお葬式のために一週間いません。

Notice the bow tie.  

He is rockin' it!

ルカ、蝶ネクタイを身につけてます。

イエーィ！

お風呂でひらがな。

水だけでピタっと貼れるひらがなチャート。

A hiragana chart for the bath tub!

All you need is water and it sticks to the wall!

全部読めます！

でも「がぎぐげご」とか「ぱぴぷぺぽ」はまだです。

なので、「じゃがいも」は「しゃかいも」。

「たまねぎ」は「たまねき」だそうです。

Kai loves this and he can read the whole chart now.

With the exceptions of extra letters like ga-gi-gu-ge-go, pa-pi-pu-pe-po.

That's the next step though.

Citrus Lane March 2015 box for Kai...!

Kai's Citrus Lane arrived today! yay!

Next month will be his last box.

カイの「3月ボックス」が届きました。

カイは来月で終了。

さ～て、何が入ってるかな？

This looks fun!

お～楽しそう！

Melissa & Doug Reusable Sticker Pad - Habitat (CL exclusive)

If you look closely, it says "Citrus Lane" on it.

This was made exclusively for CL members.

The original sticker pads are actually a bit wider.

They made a slightly smaller size for CL, I"m guessing so it fits the boxes better.

I prefer this size anyway--much easier to carry on the go.

I love this! and so does Kai.

It comes with 150 stickers and different 'habitats'.

The stickers are reusable.  This is never ending sticker fun!

シール本。

Retails for $4.99

Rocket Ship Apron (CL exclusive) by Handstand Kids

This is awesome!  Kai now has his own apron.

He will love this.  I think it's time for some baking!

子供用のエプロン。

これでキッチンのお手伝いお願いしま～す。

Retails for ~$20.00

Dinosaur Wallet by Stephen Joseph

This is a full functioning wallet for kids!

Another great item.

I think I'll save this for his 4th birthday.

He doesn't need a wallet just yet.  We haven't started teaching him about money but he understands credit cards I think.  Maybe I'll fill this up with empty gift cards.

お財布。

Retails for $8.99

Honey Graham Sticks by Back to Nature

All natural snack.

I've had this before and they are good.

We opened it right away and ate it all.

YUM!

オーガニック・クッキー

Retails for $1.00

All in all, this was an awesome box!

Kai loves the sticker pad, the apron is a nice addition and the wallet is a dinosaur, Kai's favorite!

I think Kai had the better box this month.

The total value of this month's box (roughly) comes to $34.98.

For only paying $15, that's a great deal.

Citrus Lane March 2015 box for Luka...!

(Unboxing this month's Citrus Lane)

This month's Citrus Lane has arrived!

Luka's box was delivered before Kai's.

He was excited to see what he got!

Again, I pay $15/month and Luka has 2 more months left on his subscription.

今月も届きました。

ルカの「3月ボックス」

今月はどんなものが入ってるかな？

This month, the customization option was the bow tie!

I chose the yellow and blue plaid pattern.

It's pretty cute!

Johnson & Johnson head to toe wash & bubble bath

I was a bit 'meh' about this one.

CL usually sends out 'new' products and/or 'organic' 'eco' products.

I was surprised they sent out such a normal standard baby wash.

The whole point of CL is to try new things so a few subscribers were unhappy about this.

I'm happy to have these since we use J&J but it would've been nice to get something that I don't already own.

Retails for $4.39 (for both)

Tweat Snack Ball by Ubbi

This is cool!

It's a snack container with a unique opening that prevents snacks from falling out.

I'm really happy with this one!

Retails for $9.99

My First Phone by Plan Toys

Unfortunately, this is a duplicate item for us. :(

We already have one... But now Kai and Luka can have their own.

Retails for $10.00

Baby Bow Tie - Blue & Yellow Plaid

This is super cute!

I'm not sure exactly when we will use this but I'm assuming this was added for the upcoming Easter.

It has a magnet that keeps it around the neck so it's safe and easy to use.

The size is good for 0~8yrs but I was able to put it around my neck so really, anyone could wear this.

We will use it for special occasions ♥

Retails for $25.00 (wow, that's expensive)

The bow tie is probably my favorite.

It looks really cute!

So the total value of this month's box (roughly) comes to $49.38.

A great value for only paying $15.  yay!

日本からのお土産♫ ドラえもん

Grandmaがまた日本に行ってたので、ドラえもんのブルーレイを頼みました。

ブルーレイはアメリカでも再生出来るから最高！

ちょうど最新映画の「Stand By Me ドラえもん」が発売されてたので、頼みました。

（ドラえもん初のCG映画だと思う）

カイ、大喜び！

My grandmother flew out to Japan again so I requested a Blu-ray of the newest Doraemon movie.

Blu-rays are playable in the US so that's kinda neat.

Kai is all about Doraemon these days so he got to watch his newest film.

こんな顔して見てました。

This is him watching the beginning.

Pretty much smiling like this the whole time.

そして今日、宇和島屋でドラえもんのお菓子を買ってあげました。

ドラちゃん、やっぱかわいいね♥

And today we took a trip to Uwajimaya and I found a Doraemon snack.

Of course he got excited so I got it from him.

ルカの面白いクセ。パート２。

珍しくうつぶせ。

でもこれよりもすごいことが起こった！

This is a second addition to the previous post of Luka and his weird sleeping habits.

well...today he took a nap on his tummy, which he never does.

But something even CRAZIER happened....

しばらくして戻ってくると、ルカがこんな状態に。

え？！あ、足が！どういうこと？？どうなってるの？？

So I came back to check on him and this is what I saw.

Do you see those legs? They look weird don't they?

毛布をどかしてみると、うひょ～！！

完全に体操の股割り状態になってる！

とにかくびっくりしました。

So I moved the blanket and OMG, he's doing the complete splits.

It startled me!  This is so weird hahahah ♥

ルカの面白いクセ。

ルカは寝るとき、いつも右足がこうなってる。

おもしろ～い！何でだろう？

Luka has a funny habit--when he sleeps, his right foot is always stretched out like this.

Hahaha it's a funny thing he does and I like it.

I get the chuckles whenever I catch him sleeping like this.
