Happy 3 day weekend..!

Luka pushing Kai around the house.

Our house is constantly a mess these days...coupled with 2 kiddos playing with toys and pregnancy exhaustion. 

I tied Luka's hair up and I think it looks cute!

His hair is growing so fast that his bangs get right into his eyes.

I either need to cut it soon or wait for it to grow out past his eyes.

前髪結んじゃった。かわいい！

今週からカイがプリスクールを始めます。

ドキドキ！でも絶対楽しむと思う。

木曜日からスタートです。

bubbles are edible...right?

お風呂の時間です。

it's bubble bath time!

ルカ、泡は食べてはいけません。

Umm..Luka, the bubbles are not for eating...

だから、泡は食べちゃダメ！

Luka! Like I said, it's not for eating!

*ごしごし*

Shhh...Kai is sleeping!

Oh no...Kai is napping but Luka is ready to play with him.

「しーっ！」まだカイが寝ているのにルカが起こそうとしてる。

Waiting room...

In the waiting room with Luka ♥

ルカと2人、待合室にて。

Dining Out..!

Since it worked out so well last time and the kiddos were well behaved, we decided to dine out again!

Both kids were all about the crayons and drawing and loved the restaurant atmosphere.

They did good!

♥

ワオ！

うわ～！！

O my...

うわ～！！！

2人そろってすごいことになってます。

Look at these boys!

What a mess....hahaha!

endless summer...!

全然暑さが止まらない。

今年の夏は長い気がする！

o my goodness...this summer is just dragging on!

Yet again, it hit 90 degrees....

噴水で遊んできたよ。

Perfect day for playing out in the fountain.

I see a corn pop...

Kai was having some iPad time (educational games only) and of course Luka came over and wanted to 'swipe' too.  

All whilst a corn pop was stuck to his cheek....

♥

ばぁばと2人でシャボン玉。

後姿がかわいい♥

Luka and grandma sitting together, blowing bubbles.

Awww so cute!

my bunny rabbit ♥

Luka is just so round and tiny that he looks like a bunny rabbit when he sits like this.

ルカの真ん丸さが　うさぎちゃんみたい！

きゃわいい～♥

baking..!

Upon Kai's request we got some corn bread mix!

He made daddy wear mommy's apron because one MUST wear one when baking.

What a great helper!

little artist...♥

Luka LOVES drawing and coloring!

He does it way more than Kai does.

I think he has more interest in it.  

ルカは最近お絵描きとぬりえにはまってます。

カイより興味があるみたい。

大きくなったらパパみたいに絵が上手になって欲しいな～

IKEA...♥

It's been a long time since we visited IKEA but I had something I desperately wanted, so we made a trip on Saturday.  This was Luka's first time at IKEA. 

They also have the $1 frozen vanilla yogurt after check-out so I bought one to share with Kai.

He was loving it!

週末にIKEAへ行って来ました。

久しぶりだった～！でも欲しい物があったかそれを買いに。

ルカ初のIKEA。

最後にソフトクリームも買ってカイと一緒に食べたよん。

Luka, playing with my unopened cabinet.

Jamus built it for me!  Lucky me ♥

Thank you!!

It's the HELMER cabinet.

Since I only have a table, not an actual desk, I needed to get a cabinet to fit under the table for organizing.  This is perfect!!

happy Saturday..!

I bought a miniature baguette and had Kai hold it up to his face for comparison.

Both Luka and Kai easily fall asleep on car rides...still.

ミニ・フランスパン。

パンが可愛かったからカイの顔とサイズを比べてみた。

車乗るたびに寝る二人です。

So lately Kai has been hooked on the old (now cancelled) kid's tv show, "blues clues"!

It's about a blue dog who leaves his paw marks on different objects which are 'clues'.

The host of the show keeps a 'handy dandy notebook' with him to jot down the clues.

So I made one for Kai and he loves it!  He keeps his own pen with it and I hide clues around the house for him the night before.

My hair is getting LONG!

I love it ♥

髪の毛がかなりロングに伸びてきた。

These are so cute!

And you'll never guess where I got them....

...I got these at H&M!!  They were like 3 bucks!

Kai loves them..he tells me how cute they are and he gives them kisses.

hahaha!

backyard fun..!

I'm surprised she can run with both of them in itl...they are heavy!

重いのに～！ばぁば大丈夫？

かぼちゃが出来てる！

かわいい！！

A tiny kabocha (japanese pumpkin) is growing in my parents garden.

its' so cute!

He's pretty much pulling his own weight...

that's gotta be heavy!

I see feet...!

Luka is being 'scolded' by Kai but he's having fun.

ROAR!!!

Luka's new favorite thing--roaring like a monster!

We have this Dino pillow that he likes to play with.
