Hello Seattle ♥

The EMP museum is currently hosting a Hello Kitty Exhibit.

It ends next month so my sister and I decided to go!  I brought Kai along with me.
久々のダウンタウン　シアトル。

来月までキティーちゃんのミュージアム、博物館が開かれてます。

カイとデート！そしてエリカおばちゃんも一緒♥

We tried a couple breakfast cafes for brunch but they were packed with long waiting lines...so we decided to try the POP cafe inside the EMP museum.  It was surprisingly delicious♥

Kai approved.

カフェでブランチ。おいしかったね♥

The exhibit was fun!  Kai had a blast♥

Kai = 8 apples tall.

Me = 12 apples tall!

I love these!

きゃわいい～！

Not only Hello Kitty but the museum was packed with other genres exhibits.

Games, sci-fi, music, fantasy,etc.

キティーちゃん以外にもゲームとか、音楽、サイファイ、ファンタジー、などなど。

Thanks for coming with us Erika!

This was fun and we should get together again ^_^

This was part of the sci-fi exhibit.

It was a pretend spaceship control room!

宇宙船！

And of course, a tribute to Prince♥

Miss him already...he was truly a one of a kind.

亡くなったプリンスへのトリビュートも。

Auntie and Kai♥

エリカとカイ。仲良し。

Kai's first monorail ride! he loved it.

モノレールデビュー。

And of course, the Space Needle!

The sky cleared up for a little bit and I was able to get this shot.

一瞬晴れてくれて、スペースニードルの写真撮れた！

This is new...Not your typical playground.

And I think it's intended for older kids--that slide is INSANE!

Trash day

They like to bring back the empty garbage bins for me. 

It's pretty cute!

Of course, this probably won't last....

90°! ...what?!

It was unbelievable...we hit 90 degrees on Monday..and it's only April!

Very freaky weather lately..but I'm not complaining ♥

We visited my parent's home to play in their yard.

Bought some water toys and filled up the pool.

月曜日はものすごく暑かった。なんと32℃！

まだ4月なのに....

Happy baby but drooling...could he be teething already?

よだれだっら～

もしかして歯が生えてきてるのかな？まさか～

ばぁばとバトミントン。

♥

Watching his bro play badminton with Grandma♥

Those red cheeks!

お兄ちゃんをずっと見てたよ。

Hello~

Milo♥

Luka♥

Kai♥

I bought one of those silly straws.

Unrelated...but I cut my hair!  

Corn Tower

"Mommy Look! A tower!"

What a masterpiece...a corn tower.

And look how clean he ate it...every kernel!

Milo's tummy time ♫

Tummy time♥

He's holding his head up higher!  Building a strong neck.

Luka's drawing of Daddy...♥ CUTE!!

Woa...I'm impressed!!

Recently Luka has been drawing a lot...and he loves it.

He started drawing Daddy today and yea, it looks like him!

Perhaps a future artist ??

ルカがパパの似顔絵に挑戦。

あまりにも良く描けたので、ママちょっとびっくり！

And here's another version of Daddy.

It's a 'cuter' Daddy drawing.

Maybe it's common... but Luka JUST turned 2 and I was impressed!

この似顔絵もかわいい。

よく描けてますよ♥

80 degrees..!

We hit 80 degrees on Thursday.

Friday was also in the high 70's...amazing weather right here.

After dropping off Kai at preschool, Luka+Milo and I have been taking outdoor walks and discovering more of our neighborhood.

Of course, Luka is a slow walker so we don't get very far...and it takes SO LONG to get back home.

木曜日と金曜日は今年一番の暑さでした。

天気最高！

カイがプリスクールに通っている合間にルカとマイロとお散歩です。

でもルカ遅いよ.....歩きが遅い！（笑）

See! Not a cloud in the sky!

That's a contrail.

I bought Kai this scooter (after seeing another kid at the park with one) and he just has no interest....

Luka does though but honestly, I think I've been riding it more than anyone.

It lights up too!

カイにスクーター買ってあげたけど全然興味なし。

ルカは興味あるけどまだ一人で乗れない。

一番乗ってるのは実はママ....

There's a chicken coop at Kai's school.

カイのプリスクールで飼ってる鶏ちゃん。

3匹の内一匹の名前は「ぴよ」だそうです。

"Mommy, put baby here" he says...

Hmm..Milo isn't quite ready for that kind of stroller yet.

「ここに赤ちゃん置いて」と言われました。

う～ん、それは赤ん坊用じゃないからごめんね。

Out in the patio.

I need to get some patio cleaning done.... sigh..

Toddler backpack

It's been a while since I've 'ergo'-ed Luka on me...but he is such a handful that I needed to make sure I can do it next time I pick up Kai from Preschool. (He wanders off..)

Even though he's heavy, I got him on my back.  He doesn't seem to like it though...

**This picture was taken by Kai♥**

"i'm drawing"

what a silly boy!

Mommy's shirt

When your 2 year old makes a mess and you're too lazy to run upstairs for new clothes...

Luka is sporting my awesome Zombie-fied snoopy shirt.

70 degrees...!

We had a BEAUTIFUL weekend ♥

We hit 70 degrees--feels great not to have to wear a jacket ^_^

We went to our ever favorite, downtown park.

The playground was packed and there were plenty of duckies.

*quack*

Sleep-eating ♥

It's been a while since this has happened...We caught Luka falling asleep during lunch/snack time.

A second ago he was wide awake goofing around and eating...

I looked away for one second and he's falling asleep...He tries so hard to stay awake. 

Kai & Milo ♥

Kai is such a great brother.

He's always happy and smiling about Milo...telling me he's so small and cute.

I hope it stays this way♥
