crisp autumn day ♥

Oooo it's my favorite season!

Fall is here!!

季節の中で一番大好きな秋がやってきたぞ！

And it's been surprisingly warm and nice out.

ぽつん。

We found the giant chair!

These are placed all around the city.

after preschool shopping ♥

I can't believe I waited this long to go inside a Lush store.

I'm in love ♥

Lush offers fresh handmade products...Everything from bath products, hair care, skin care and even make up.  I specifically wanted to try their bath bombs and bubble bars for the kiddos to try.

プリスクールが終わってモールでちょっと買い物をしてきました。

「LUSH」と言うお店に行きたくてお風呂グッズをゲット。

「LUSH]は日本にもあるらしい！

「LUSH]は全て手作りでオール・ナチュラル。

I got a couple of the 'ickle baby bot' bath bomb.

It helps them relax with lavender and chamomile oils.

We tried this tonight and Kai loved how the robot fizzes and turned the water into a pretty turquoise color.

お風呂に入れると溶けてラベンダーの香りがする。

子供・赤ちゃん肌にもやさしい。

今夜使ってみました。カイが興奮！だんだん小さくなって溶けていくロボットに夢中。

This is the 'Pink' bath bomb.

There's pink confetti hearts inside!  I can't wait to try this one.

これは溶けると中からハート型のコンフェティが出てくるの。

楽しみ～！

And this is I think a seasonal limited item...the Sparkle Pumpkin bubble bar.

Break this apart under running water and you get tons of bubbles!

そしてこれはキラキラパンプキン。

秋限定のバブルバー。

お湯と一緒にほどけていくと泡がた～くさん！

バブルバスになります。

Then we came across a new toy store...uh-oh!

Kai of course wanted to check it out.

I found these mystery Disney character keychains and thought why not?

I was totally eyeing the Jack and Pooh bear keychains.

I even felt each bag and was pretty sure I got the right ones.

Well...I got the Maleficent (which I really ended up liking) and the Evil Queen from Snow White.

I was way off!!

またまた風邪をひいてます。

昨日はカイが風邪気味。

そして今日、ルカが鼻水だら～！

夜も2回ほど起きて眠れなかったみたい。

Kai was sick over the weekend--he's much better now but of course it transferred to Luka!

His little nose is running like crazy.  He had a hard time sleeping last night too but I think he'll be good by tomorrow ♥

Bros

Just hanging out...

兄弟。

It's a hat party!

That's a new winter beanie I got for Kai but of course it fits Luka's head ^_^

帽子パーティー♥

Halloween crafts...!

Bought a couple Halloween Foam Kits from Michael's since they were on sale...and we had fun!

Kai wanted to build the Owl House.

I helped of course but he had fun!

It's mostly simple assembly and the decorations are all stickers.

yay!

selfies

ただいま～！

Napping while Kai is at preschool.

Works for me!

カイがプリスクールに通っている合間に昼寝です。

Kai brought home some artwork!

「ただいま～！」

今日は絵を描いたそうです。

I'd say this is abstract! 

お風呂。

アトムくん's？

♥

朝から仲良く遊んでます。

Luka's selfie video...!

Someone is WAY too excited about this selfie video!

ルカ大興奮！

Preschool Day 2 ♥

Day 2 of Preschool went great!  Now Kai is eager to wear his backpack and get out of the house in the morning.  

The drop-off has been a bit of a pain though.  Carrying Luka either in my arms or on the ergo and helping Kai getting settled into his class has not been easy.  And I probably should avoid the ergo right now since I'm pregnant.  Our current stroller is way too big to bring into the preschool so I went and bought a super cheap umbrella stroller today. It's a cute monster print ♥

This made the pick up SO much better.

プリスクール2日目も大成功！

今日はお天気が良かったので外でたくさん遊んでたみたい。

HAHAHAHA ♥ silly Luka.

ルカもニヤニヤ。

Before we went to pick up Kai, Luka was pushing the stroller around the house with his favorite puppy toy sitting in it.

First day of Preschool ♥

Today is the day!  Kai started Preschool this morning and things went great!

Doesn't he look excited?!

おはよ～！今日からプリスクール！朝から大忙し。

We are all packed up and ready to go...!

準備完了。

We were early (just like many other parents) so we waited outside until they opened the door.

到着が早かったので外で写真撮影。

他の子供達と初対面。

I think the backpack looks good!

リュックが似合ってるぞ！♥

The drop-off went great! No crying, no shyness, nothing.

He was so excited that I don't think he realized I left.

Luka and I went to grab some coffee and ran some errands.

I think tomorrow I may just go home after dropping off Kai and let Luka take a nap--he was sleepy the whole time.

The pick-up went great too! At the end of the day they were out in the yard playing so a few mothers were waiting outside.  Kai saw me and said "Mommy is here! Look! Mommy is here!" to his teacher.

そしてルカとママは2人だけで冒険。

でもちょうど昼寝の時間だったから眠そうだった。

Preschool starts...tomorrow!!

He's excited!  I'm excited too but nervous about leaving him :(

I'm sure he will be fine though.  He's gonna love it!

いよいよ明日からプリスクールです！

All packed and ready to go.

Note all of the Lightning McQueen gear.

Rainboots are required to leave at the school, an emergency kit and we had to make a Book about Kai. 

リュック、長靴、宿題だったカイの本、など。

It includes family pictures, activities he enjoys and of course movie characters he loves!

「カイの本」は学校においておく本。

皆と一緒に読んだりするんだって！

カイの好きなもの、家族写真、特技、など。

The school will laminate it and put it together as a book to keep at school for sharing and reading.

Yay!

学校がちゃんと本にしてくれます。出来上がりが楽しみだね！
