Auntie Kathy invited us over to their place today for lunch and a Easter egg hunt. The kids were super excited to get a bunch of eggs and eat candy. Nat got the most eggs (over 40) and Tyler found the “special” egg – which had $1 in it.

Nat picked some lemons from their backyard to make lemonade.

Natalie has to do a school report about the Japanese American history museum, so I took her there this afternoon. It’s located in San Jose’s Japan town.

Afterwards, we shared some shaved ice at a local dessert shop,

Tyler lost another tooth yesterday. I think this is tooth #4. The tooth fairy left him $3 and this morning he put it in his piggy bank.

I didn’t let Tyler play on the iPad yesterday so he went outside to play instead. He practiced skateboarding on the driveway.

Our friends Johnny and Sandy had a Red Egg & Ginger party for their new baby today at Four Seas restaurant in SF Chinatown.

One of the activities was a scavenger hunt. It included meeting people within the family, writing info about Colette, and getting tattoos.

Last night, Tyler slept over at Big Uncle’s place. Nat stayed home because she was sick. This afternoon I took a walk with Tyler and asked him how his sleep over was.
Me: Did you miss me?
Tyler: No, I was too busy thinking about being at Big Uncle’s house.
-he paused and realized that would hurt my feelings and then quickly added:-
Tyler: But I had dreams about you.

Tyler’s homework this week included surveying friends and family and creating a graph. He had to select 5 things and ask people which they liked, then draw a graph/chart to show the results. His topic was drinks. He made several phone calls to various family members and friends. I think some uncles fell under Root Beer because they heard BEER.

Tyler turns 7 today. This morning at 6:40am, he came marching into our room and announced, “I’m the birthday boy!” He climbed into our bed and said, “What are you getting me for my birthday? Actually, you don’t need to get me anything. My friends are getting me presents today. I will have alot.” David and I ignored him as we were still half asleep, but he didn’t mind. He was in such a good mood, he just kept talking to himself.

Tyler invited 5 friends for a few hours of fun at Chuck E Cheese’s. All but one are in the same class as him.
