DAY 269-September 26th

Kaleb had to put together a "Me" box for school. So this past weekend,  I put the wrapping paper of frogs and balloons (two of his favorites) on the box and he looked for things that he likes and put it in the box.  He put in a puzzle piece (loves doing puzzles), a ball with Elmo on it (he won that at a birthday party), McDonald's figure (loves McD's),  Little People person and block (loves to play with it), a little book (loves to read), Pez (all 3 siblings collects them),  Thomas trains (loves them since he was 18 months old or 2 year old.  can't remember) and Scooby Doo with Shaggy (the older 2 likes to watch Scooby Doo. :)   I also included a couple of pictures in the box.

Two more pictures--one of Kaleb with his rabbit Polka Dots (he didn't name him until he was 3)  and one with  Casey and Kaleb for their 2 year old  and 6 month old birthdays.  Yes I had to be partly in the picture because Casey would not take one alone with her brother. :/

DAY 268-September 25th

this past week we were putting our stuff in the garage because GG had bed bugs upstairs but we didn't have any downstairs.  Mother in law thinks we should clean up and have them spray our place too.  @@ @@  anyhow, that was one of the highlights of this past week.

Forgot to mention that Friday morning we went to a meeting called Safety 1st for the first grade parents.    The kids were going to have their own class once a week for 5 weeks to learn about stranger safety.

Anyhow, today is Sunday.. we went to Hope International University to listen to Rick Warren speak. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rick_Warren  here is an article about him. :)  While Gabe and I listened to him speak, the older two were at the concert with Jana Alayra.   Here is her link... http://www.janaalayra.com/   I didn't take any pictures but here are two links of Rick  and Jana. :)  My older two liked the concert given by Jana.   Gabe and I enjoyed the sermon that Rick gave.  Kai was in the toddlers' room.

We went to the park this afternoon to have a play date with Jamie's girls.  We didn't leave until 5 or 6ish and went home...  after all the kids went to bed,   my pregnant friend Kirsten and I texted each other for a few minutes and I realized that I missed her birthday the day before.

DAY 259-September 16th

We went to pick up the kids and ended up going to Jamie's house to hang out.  I don't think I have any pictures.  The kids had fun playing in Lovely's room.   Lovely has a little sister (Issabella) like Kaleb has a little sister.  Issabella is 4 months older than Kairi.  Lovely is exactly 5 months older than Kaleb. :)  How funny how that works out.  We made plans to go to a park the next day but not sure of the time.  We didn't leave until 530 or 6pm. 

Keep an eye out for Day 260- Day at the park.

DAY 258-September 15th

When I went to pick up the kids (minimum day),  I saw a mom with a hearing aid but didn't approach because she had to talk to the teacher.  Anyhow, tonight was Back to School night for the kids.  Oh fun we had!  We had to divide the time between two classrooms.  We went to the kids' lunch tables first then we went to room 6 to listen to the kindergarten teachers speak.  Then we went to Casey's classroom to talk to the teacher.. she said that Casey is doing good and we told her that we will try to be back if possible and she say not to worry if we couldn't.  We went back to Kaleb's class to listen to his teacher explain things.  Talked to her afterwards.  oh I forgot, I met the deaf mom when we were going to room 6.  We found out that we had the same name, we are left handed.. hehe and our kids are in the same classroom.  Kaleb made a friend named Lovely. :)   That is the deaf mom's daughter.
Sorry no pictures.

DAY 257-September 14th

After school we went to get the kids and went to the multi- purpose room for Kaleb's Tae Kwon Do class from 230 to 330. :)   Only one picture of Casey on the swings while brother is in class.  I stayed home with Kairi boo!

DAY 255-September 12th

I had an appt that ran late again! @@  but Gabriel called the school to let them know that we will be late picking up Kaleb.  Kai fell asleep on the way to pick up Kaleb from school.   I found Kaleb on the bench by the front office with his teacher, waiting for me.

We went to church to honor those first responders who died and who helped during the 9/11, 10 years ago.   We listened to a New York firefighter about 9/11 and his family.  Here are a few pictures that I took by the parking lot  where we normally park.
Kaleb's kindergarten class got to see the fire truck.  Casey as a first grader had slimefest.  :D

After the kids went to bed, Gabriel told me that our beloved  cat passed away. :***(

Here are some pictures of Chloe through the years.  We had her for 11 wonderful years.  She was to turn 11 today. :(
Gabe's favorite memory of Chloe is that she would have a soft ball in her mouth.  One of my favorite memory of her is she would suck on my ear when she was a small tiny kitten.

Just one picture of Casey... don't remember why she did that.  The kids were able to go outside to play and enjoy the hot summer sun. :)  

DAY 240-August 28th

Sunday is normally  church day but did we go to church???  We probably did and used Gabe's grandma's car to drive to church.   Oh one little tidbit I forgot to mention yesterday,  my friend's twins and older daughter were baptized in the ocean in Huntington Beach and we couldn't attend.  WTG,  Tracy, Jackie and John!  May the Lord be with them!

The kids had fun playing outside.  The water fight started with the kids.  They found the water guns and filled them up and started squirting at me and daddy.  I went outside to get the hose and drench the kids  in my defense and we all had a lot of fun.  Gabriel took those pictures. :)

An hour later after the water play pictures were taken,  the kids wanted to climb all over daddy!
