Afternoon Snack Time

I Love you...
You love me...
We are a happy family...


Happily enjoying the afternoon snack and drink together.

And sometimes, these two can snack all day...

BEST FRIENDS

If you must know, this I-can-hardly-stand-it sweetness came right after Kari slapped Kayla across the head for wanting her toy, followed by a sincere "I am sorry", followed by a tiny kiss, then came the wholehearted hugs of apology and forgiveness from both...

Best friends...forever.

Oh How I LOVE My Rainbow School...

I don't like you, but I am too cool to care...
I am just better than you.
Do what you need to and let me get on with my little life...


Don't make me do this...
This world is a messed up place...

LA ZOO

KK love their visit to the zoo today. They enjoy saying hello to the hippo, the rhino, and the giraffe. Daddy's shoulders are their observation deck...

Ready for a kiss from Lala?

Possibility of getting both to stand still for a picture? One in a million...
Possibility of getting both to stand still and smile at once in a picture? hmmm...
Possibility of getting a picture of both with no pissed-off expression from either? Now we're talking.

Back on the lovely observation deck...

Kari carefully held onto her cutiepie sunglasses through the entire trip. As Kari would say, See you later, Alligator...

Halloween

My honey bees went trick-o-treating at Victoria Garden this year. When we arrived, we found baby bee sound asleep in the backseat. Our Lala bee had fallen asleep standing in my laps. She was able to wake up in time and sleep-walk through the streets trick-o-treating with cousin Kenneth, while little baby bee had a sweet dream in her stroller.


Lala bee was a little stunned through the whole adventure. She held onto the first piece of candy, M&Ms, that she got and never let go. A stranger walked by and thought the honey bee adorable. He gently swiped her bee antenna above her head as he passed Lala bee. She turned around and gave him a look (dirty?) and a stare for a minute. The sales people waved at Lala as well through the store window. She walked up to them, tilted her little bumble bee head and took a closer look at them, and then blew them a kiss before walking off. She jumped, hopped, and bounced down the street... Cute and happy little bumble bee.

Upon arrival at Grandma and Grandpa's house, baby bee finally awoke. She excitedly ran in yelling, "TRICK-O-TREAT!" She couldn't wait to eat her reward!


The UGLY (getting ready): putting on the bumble bee outfits with cookie bribes, little bees ripping off one antenna, one sock, one shoe, one pom pom, running around like bees on ecstasy, malicuiously attacking their own wings, pulling off bee tops, crying and throwing a fit....and Mommy putting everything back in place frantically with occasional threats...Lookimg forward to the next Halloween already.

New school- Rainbow

KK started a new daycare as they turned two. There are more kids in this program, younger teachers, and I think KK are liking it better overall. They are learning English finally...It's hilarious to hear Kari imitate the tones and sentences. Now she sounds like she's speaking Japanese to me... Kayla is sticking with her Chinese.

Their teachers: Mr. Lily, Mr. Jaime, and Ms.Molly. They seem kind and patient. I think they are doing well. The first day they right away sat amongst the rest, enjoying their lunch. Kayla liked drinking out of the cup, and oh she did so well!
