Sept 6 - Sept 10

I'm so sorry Emily. Your blog has been taken over to be my venting board, lol.

Damn Cricut is broken! I had to be VERY creative when doing Tyler's birthday poster for school. Cricut customer support is more than willing to help. I spend an hour trying to debug! I had to cut the lady off because I had to go to work.

Daddy is in Seattle again this week, GRRR! When is it going to end? Super mommy needs a break!

Mommy attended Tyler's school yearly parent's orientation night on Thursday. Yee's watched the kiddos. Tyler did fine, but Emily made Uncle Clay carry her the entire time! The meeting was an hour. Add in driving time, total time maybe an hour and a half. Glad Uncly Clay has muscles!

Saturday daddy took Tyler for a haircut. We did some shopping, Kohl's and Costco.
This week, I got Em's invitations ready and trying to decide what she will be for Halloween.

She crawls like a champ now and cruises along the couch very carefully. She still eats baby food, but seems to like mashed "regular" food. Mommy is crossing her fingers, toes and eyes that she won't be as picky as Tyler!

Here's to hoping!

2011 Labor Day Weekend

Friday - Yeehaw, daddy comes home from his Seattle day trip! Well, not that it matters much since mommy was at work and the kids at school.

Saturday
Daddy had his class in the morning. What class you'd need to ask him. :)
Mommy tried so hard to make it to the barber's shop for a very long overdue hair cut, but wasn't able to make it. Mornings have been getting hectic.
Getting the kiddos ready, just isn't as easy as it use to be.
Instead we went to Walmart and Michaels to get stuff for Tyler's Birthday Party goodie bags. Mommy's running out of ideas. Next year, maybe
we'll just make cookies!
On our way home from shopping, Tyler asked to go to the Library to borrow some books. We made story time and ran into one of his classmates, Juhi,
who just so happens lives very near to us. Daddy met us at the Library, we set up an afternoon play date with the kids and headed out for lunch.
Dosa Place is where we went and Tyler was not happy. I thought for sure he would enjoy the crispy thin (very thin) sort crepe style bread thing.
But he wasn't open to it from the beginning. Barely wanted to try it and sat there upset for most of lunch.
On the way home we stopped off at Safeway to order his Cars 2 birthday cake.
Nap time was easy, just because he knew when he got up we'd go to Juhi's house.

I would have to say that the Juhi play date was a hit. It was the first time we'd been over to there house, but literally it was a 2 - 3 minute
drive from our place. It was a nice day out, so they had set up some water play for the kids out in the back yard. It was this very cool
blown up slide with an attached pool at the bottom. They absolutely had a blast. Emily hung out with mommy on the porch swing and was
entertained by a few crying baby dolls as she crawled around in the house.

I can't explain what happened next, but Tyler didn't want to leave ... so we all joked about having a sleepover because it was something we
thought he'd for sure NOT want to do. Boy were we wrong and boy did our plan back fire. He was more than willing to stay and practically
ordered us to go home and get his jammies! Man was that a big mistake on our part. We sadly ended up having to carry him out crying
promising that we could come back and play again soon.

In prep for his actual birthday tomorrow. Mommy baked a cake after he want to sleep.

Happy 4th Birthday Tyler! On Sunday morning he woke up in a good mood (thankgoodness, especially after yesterday's episode at Juhi's).
We gave him 3 birthday gifts; One from mommy, one from daddy , and one from Emily. Then mommy and Tyler finished up the birthday cake by
putting on frosting and decorating it. It was cake for breakfast! Mmmmm mmmmm good! (Maid also came)

Later on that day, we took him to Chuck E Cheese the actual location where his party would be. He actually hadn't been there before. At least
not recently enough for him to remember. He played games, rode rides ... almost ate pizza! He is already aware that pizza is all there will
be at his party next week. He says he will eat it, but won't believe it till we see it. He's very excited for next week.

For his Birthday dinner he requested spam musubi and chicken katsu, lol. What a Hawaii Asian kid! So mommy had to slave away in the kitchen
that night, hahaha!

Monday, a day off. You'd think we'd do something out of the ordinary or extremely fun. I wish! We definitely need to change this.
We went to TI. I don't know what it is but it's always a priority to go and get stuff there. It bother's me because it's always on Sunday
when Monday is a work day! (of course in this case, Monday because of the holiday) GRR!

Anyway ... we went for Dim Sum in Milpitas. One of my favorite Dim Sum places too! Typically we are lazy to drive so we stay local in San Jose
which has a few places. They're good, but not as good as up north. At Best Buy I was finally able to get my pink iPad case! Then it was
back to Michael's again more good bag stuff, lol. And while we were out .... Petco, Bed Bath and Beyond, Carter's, Disney Store, Old Navy,
Target ....

In the night, I did Tyler's Birthday board. Sooo last minute I am.

I also didn't get a chance to ask about the cupcakes ... so I just bought them from the grocery store.

Damn i better remember to pay tuition.
