Simon’s lunch of Korean melon (the small yellow ones), strawberries, Jelly Belly beans, and mini hot dog croissants.

The sun is still out when we arrive home from work and school. Simon wanted to use the chalk party favors we got from Sunday’s birthday party to draw with. We have a small stone patio in the front that is perfect to keep Simon away from the street so that he could draw to his heart’s content.

He ended up drawing his favorite planes in the sky with clouds, the sun, and a rainbow plus a picture of us as a family.

Here is a closeup of our family in our minivan. Originally he forgot Iris but then put her inside in her carseat (she is the green person).

Iris loves being outdoors too. She loves seeing the flowers and tree branches sway in the breeze and loves to listen and watch the birds. Her cold is slowly getting better but still with a slight runny nose but not really coughing at night.

Simon’s lunch of Mickey Mouse chicken nuggets, carrots, Korean pear, strawberries, and a fortune cookie.

I’m starting to think that Simon’s lunches are getting a bit boring so I’ll have to brainstorm a bit more. Plus I haven’t been getting much sleep since Iris has not been sleeping well due to her stuffy nose and slight cough. I’ve been rushing in the mornings to clean dishes, clean bottles, prepare breakfast, and prepare lunches. Surprisingly though, Simon’s lunches usually come back completely finished. I think the school does a good job in encouraging them to eat during lunch.

Iris has been enjoying freeze dried blueberries lately. She’s drooling again (teething?) so the blue color gets all over her chin.

Simon’s lunch of Hawaiian sweet rolls (a little bit over toasted), Korean pear, grapes, strawberries, and stir fry of mini sausages, carrots, and broccoli. A fortune cookie for dessert. My Hello Kitty slippers making an appearance 🙂

So Iris and Simon’s favorite book is this small paperback from Disney’s Planes movie. Simon will make up his own story when flipping through it and looking at the pictures. He’d rather do that than try to read the words. Iris also picks it up and flips through it while looking at the pictures and babbles while she is holding it. Pretty cute to listen to the both of them.

Silly minions!

A busy weekend for birthdays as we headed out to Chuck E Cheese in Concord for our previous neighbor’s son’s 5th birthday party. Daddy and Simon had a good time playing the games and acting silly.

Iris had a fun time playing with the inflatable microphone and me blowing bubbles.

Iris Ready to Sing?

Iris has figured out how to use this snack cup to grab her Cheerios. She loves those toasty cereal snacks. I love them too.

Chillin’ at home.

After going out to dinner with Grandpa Tam, Iris totally konked out on the car ride home. She usually wakes when you move her from car seat to your arms but she stayed completely asleep this time. When she’s asleep, she seems heavier but still oh so sweet.
