train driver

Yes, he needed all those gears (picked by Milo) to play with the train.

Keena loves playing with the train too.

okonomiyaki night

At the Lola's!

salmon day

Oh I missed you so much!!!

We went back Trask and Yuri bought this beautiful salmon.

It was one of the most silver salmons we have ever seen.

Ad it came with some bonus.

Although Silas could not get any, again...

Milo and Keena played there pretty well.

Milo even hooked a salmon on his own.

(Silas could not net it, though...)

We met up with Josh and Pat,

and all boys had some fisherman talks.

who is the loud one!?

socks smiles

This was our "thank you photo" for Stance socks

who sent all of us tons of their socks.

Oh yeah, new socks are always good!

play date at Marshal park

We had a morning play date with he Devine's at Marshal Park.

It was such a beautiful morning with:

amazing morning sun,

crisp cold air,

wet forst

and all the kids with big smile

in their colorful rain gears.

Oh, and with the yummy snacks.

On the way to get Marshal Park, we were going to drive there

because we did not want to be late.

It would take only 5 minutes to get there by a car and 20-25 minutes by kids foots.

Milo refused to get in the car.

Yuri though it would be quicker to walk with him

than to try to convince and put him in the car.

Therefore,  Silas drove with Keena,

and Yuri walked to the park with Milo.

Soon after they started walking, Milo said...

"mama, do you know why I wanted to walk?"

Yuri asked "why?"

Milo replied...

"I cannot hear bird singing from the car well."

Oh... I love you, Milo.

trick or treat?

We had really really heavy rain on this Halloween,

and we were almost going to cancel the neighborhood walk.

However, Milo HAD TO do this...

"TRICK or TREAT!?"

This year, Keena joined the boys. 

After our wet fun walk, 

we had a nice dinner at the Joel's house.

Milo and Keena left  their baskets full of the candies, that they had gotten during the walk,

under the bed and went to sleep.

Then "switch fairies" came and switched their candies to other treasures

like books, origami, and scarves.

They were so sweet to leave some ryes fruits for the kids too.

Thank you, switch fairies!
