04-07 thru 04-14

今週はとても暑い日が続きました。

それが原因か、なぜかカロリー高い物ばかり食べたくなる。。

ピザ。キッシュ。アイスクリーム。

来週運動しよーっと

アイスクリーム、外で買うとかなり高い〜

ので、コストコで有機のバニラアイスと冷凍ラズベリー、チョコレートチップを

買ってきて全部混ぜてみた

子供たちに大好評でした

This week was HOT! 

It might have been one of the reasons why I craved for high calorie foods.

Pizza, Quiche, Ice cream...

I will work out next week!

I was amazed how pricy it can be if I buy ice cream cones for my whole family.

It cost more than $10 to feed us four.

So, I went to Costco, bought organic vanilla ice cream, frozen organic berries.

I added some chocolate chips to them and mix them all. It was like cold stone at home!

The kids loved it. 

うちの食器洗い機（人）

This is our dishwasher(man)

カイルサンタ〜　とのこと

He said "Kyle Santa!!!"

いつかちゃんと食器洗ってほしいです

この日はシンクがもう少しで溢れ出すところでした。汗

I hope someday he could really wash the dishes

This time he almost overflowed the sink!

彩り弁当！頑張ったワタシ。涙

まあ日本のお母さんたちに言わせるとまだまだでしょうが。。

Colorful Spring Bento! I am proud of myself.

ワイコロアにあるヒルトンホテルに無料駐車場があるということを聞き、

友達と行ってみた。

ホテル間をつなぐ電車なんて素敵な物もあり、

カイルは大はしゃぎ

Kyle and I went to visit Hilton hotel in Waikoloa since I heard that there is a free parking lot 

They had a little train going between the hotel buildings

Kyle had a blast with his friend!

滝の裏を歩いて

Walking behind a water fall

出ました！イルカ！

There the dolphins!!

 

ちゃんと私たちを見に体傾けて見てる

可愛い

They were trying to see us by leaning over to the side

cute

お金がある方は有料でイルカとふれあえます

If you have money,  you could play with the dolphins

また近所の５人兄弟のうち今回は４人だけ

とはいっても全員男！

夜あずかった。みんなで映画会。

私いつからこんなに男に囲まれる生活になったんだろう

女１対男７　こりゃ負けるわー

同い年の二人が色々食べたり飲んだりしてるところ

We watched our neighbors' four boys(yes, we had a total of 6 boys in our house!!)

We had a movie night with them at our place.

Here is the picture of a same age group sitting on a little stool munching on somethings.

ワイメアで子供たちのお祭りがあった

蜂の巣の構造を見せてもらって感動！の子供たち

We had Keiki Fest yesterday here in Waimea

The kids had a lot of things to do/learn

this was one of the things that caught their attention

the guy was showing us honey bees' beehive structure

救急車も乗せてもらえた！

でもなぜかショーンは担架でくつろいでますが。。

まあ救急隊のおっさんもくつろいでるからいいか。。

They got to ride on the ambulance

Somehow, Sean was so relaxed laying down on the bed..

ここではやってるズンバのオバさんがかなりすごい

迫力でガンナムスタイルを踊っていた

うちの子たちの冷めた姿。。笑

背中が物語っているぜっ！

This lady dancing Zumba was going crazy dancing to  Gangnam Style.

Our boys were frozen and didn't know what to do..

Boys, your backs are facing the wrong way!

おまけにインコ作ってもらった

Kyle got his Rio(perokee)

ショーンはミツバチ

Sean got a honey bee

また高カロリー食

カッテージチーズパンケーキ

Again, the high calorie food...

Cottage cheese pancakes

here is the recipe

　

そして紫芋ごま団子

And purple sweet potato sesame balls

今週は毎日明け方２時３時に起きて５時６時まで寝ない長男がいて
私はなんだか疲れていた
そして火山ガスでアレルギー悪化するわ。。色々でしたが
来週は健康レポートできるようにがんばりまっす！
Sean was waking up every day around 2-3a.m. and wouldn't be able to go back to sleep till 5-6a.m.
As always, I am on night duty for him.
I was very exhausted and the volcano vog made my allergy worse..
Hope I could report something healthier next week!

03-31 thru 04-07

 月曜日、普段は午前中だけみる友達の子供を

今月は全日でみることになっている

ということで昼食の床の片付けはいやだーと思ったワタシ

裏の庭（ていうほど凄くない）でピクニック

Monday- I usually watch my friend's boy just for the morning as a baby swap.

But for this month, I'm watching him for the all day Monday.

Anyhow, I just got tired of cleaning up the messy floor after they eat.

I decided to have a little picnic outside of our house.

 

Kyle stood up on top of the little hill and screams

"Okaasan!(Mom!) It's Kyle's temple!"

Such a LDS kid... He is obsess with temples nowadays and especially with the angel that sits on top.

 火曜日、午前中にお友達を呼んで、手づくりで粘土を作った

で、午後学校から帰ってきたショーンは粘土に熱中

が、色分けして作ったのをぜーんぶごちゃまぜにされた。ガーン

Tuesday, I invited one of our good friends to come make a home made play dough.

I color coded and everything but once Sean came home, he mixed all up...gees!

 が、初めて自分の家族を認識した作品を作った

ので関心：一番大きいのがお父さん、次がお母さんで自分、そして一番小さいのが弟らしい

ちょっとした成長をみせた彼でした

Despite my disappointment, he made his family which showed that he started recognize people around him more.  The biggest one is the dad and the next is mom, himself and Kyle.

Finally, he is passing this mile stone! yey!!

 

水曜日、古着屋半額デー

ということでしばらく顔出してなかった古着屋へ

で、古着じゃなくて新品買った！しかも付いてる額の半額

つまりプーマのシャツはもともと＄２０が約＄３に

そして子供の教会用のワイシャツも。素敵です☆

Wednesday-It's a thrift shop's half off day. 

Since I haven't been there for a while, I decided to check it out.

It's a "thrift" shop but I bought some things brand new! 

I was so proud of myself with these smart purchases that I had to show off~

puma shirt:originally $20 I paid $3

Sean's church shirt, I paid $1.50

That's the way I shop!

Sean has a great teacher who is so loving and is patient.

She has these schedules for each kid in her class room and I needed to make one at home for Sean.

I always wanted to have a sample schedule for preschoolers so if you are someone  who is looking for PECS sample schedule, here you go!

 金曜日、これネットのどこかでみて気になってやってみた

机下即席ハンモック

ただブランケットくくっただけ

だけど大ヒット！これいいです。

Friday-I saw this idea on a website and thought of trying it out.

Just tie a blanket on a table. 

So easy but it turned out such a big hit for my boys.

Great idea!

 Kyle made a godzilla!

 今週の一品

天津飯、ほうれん草ごま和え、きゅうりの漬け物、わかめスープ

This week's dish

wakame soup, spinach and sesame salad, pickled cucumbers with carrots and ginger, Chinese rice

 トイレトレーニング頑張れよ〜

全然ダメな彼。オマルが寂しそうに後ろにボヤケて映ってます。はい。

A guy in potty training.. well, I wish he is more interested in it.

The potty in the back looks little sad to me!

 I was looking at GAP Kids and found some cute cardigans etc but couldn't afford them.

So, I came across this site and used my old sweat shirt and made Sean's cardigan in one night.

Super easy and cute!

 給料日＆夕飯作る気無い＝外食！

近所の評判、アカ寿司さんで。すごいでしょー

美味しかったです

It was a pay day and I didn't have energy to cook.

It led us to take out sushi!

It was so good.

 It was a conference weekend so I decided to bake something yummy.

pecan, mac nuts, caramel cinnamon rolls!

 In Hawaii, the general conference starts at 6a.m. 

So, between the sessions, we took the boys to a park close to our house.

カイルがこけたのでショーン 慰めに行ってみた

 Kyle fell so Sean went over to comfort Kyle in his arm

 ポーズまでしてみた

He even posed for the camera

 が、その次の瞬間。最近の悪い癖

髪舐め攻撃！

But the next moment, his bad habit surfaces:

the hair lick!

カイルそそくさと逃げる。痛みも忘れた様子。笑

 Kyle runs away as if he forgot he was hurt! haha

Oh brother!
