LEGO Movie 2 !!


Aaaaaah!!! I was so excited to take the kids to see LEGO Movie 2!!

We loved it! Just as good as the first and awesome music.



We were first in the theater.
Milo isn't quite ready for a movie theater experience but it was nice hanging out with just Kai and Luka♥

Kid's Workshop!



The monthly Kid's Workshop!
Kai had a basketball game but I took Luka and Milo.
They both did a great job with building their clock trays♥



Ta-da!!


We made sure to write our names on it too.


Good job Milo!
He was so excited--look at that big smile!

at the gym!


Post workout--the kids love to play in the play area.
That's Milo in the back!

Sunny walk♥


Sunshine is back!
We went for a walk♥


It gets so dry in the winter...every time we get out of the car, Milo's hair sticks up from the static!


Luka found some teeny tiny pine cones!


We picked up some lunch at the Metro Market.

potty trained!


Milo is pretty much potty trained!
Still in pull-ups at bedtime but Milo has it locked down!
Yay Milo♥

Happy Birthday Luka! He turns 5



Happy Birthday to my middle child♥♥
Luka turns 5! Where did the time go???


Per Luka's request, a tall heart-shaped chocolate cake with strawberries and sprinkles.



I took the boys out to lunch.
My plan was to then surprise Luka with a trip to the movie theater to see LEGO movie 2 but it was still sold out even a month after release.  We're going to try next weekend!






Thank you everyone for the birthday gifts!
Luka was so happy !!!

Ninja Warrior!


We discovered that the show 'American Ninja Warrior' is available for streaming so the kids have been watching it.  (It's a great show!)
Every time it's on, the kids put together their own obstacle course.





Dance off!


A dance-off between Kai and Milo!


Narwhal and Jellyfish tattoo♥

Of course it's not real ^_^
When we went to the book signing last week, we got free tattoo stickers!


LEGO people!


We found new LEGO Movie 2 mystery packs!
Milo is following in Luka's footsteps--he loves to play with  Legos!
(Kai, not so much.  He's a bookworm♥)

オセロ!



It's mid-winter break for the kids so we went to visit Grandma and Grandpa♥
Othello is a fun game I grew up playing.
Milo call it "Banana Game" but he loves to play it.



Milo loves to rock in this rocking chair.




We don't see Grandpa too often but Milo really enjoys hanging out with him.

Author Ben Clanton book signing !!



I decided to take the big kiddos to a book signing by one of Kai's favorite author...Ben Clanton who wrote the Narwhal and Jellyfish series.
I wasn't surprised to see a full room by the time we got there but we managed to find a nice spot.


Raffle tickets were given out and Kai won a lanyard!


The boys were so patient waiting in line to meet him.


Meeting the author♥


We each brought one of his books so I also got a book signed.
How cool!!


After the book signing, another local author was at the launch party.
Kazu Kibuishi is the author of the "Amulet" graphic novel series, a book James bought for Kai over the holidays!  We picked up book #2 and got it signed as well.
It was a great day!


For being such good/patient boys, I treated them to a delicious lunch outing.
Super delicious dumplings!
