We went over and hung out with Melanie this evening for Halloween. Nat went trick or treating with Uncle Tommy, Auntie Kari, and Melanie, but only for a short time because Mel was getting tired. Later, Uncle Tommy took Nat out again after some convincing, but it started to drizzle so they weren’t out long. Nat didn’t seem too interested in trick or treating. Later in the car ride home she told me that it isn’t fun trick or treating alone. She had fun passing out candy though!

Nat and I flew down to LA last night to attend Hello Kitty Con today. It was epic!! Lucky girl got to miss 2 days of school, instead go to the greatest place on earth!

We were there from open to close and she loved every moment of it. We were interviewed by several reporters and a ton of people took pics of us. Lots of people commented on how cute she looked. She even got to get a mini-makeover at the Sephora booth.

She can shop like a big girl, so she can do laundry like a big girl too! I needed some help with laundry today, but I was busy so I asked Nat to do it.

Nat loves hanging around her two aunties, Wileen and Birdie. They make her feel like a big girl and include her in stuff they do. Today the four of us went to the mall together and she followed them around like she was one of the big girls. It won’t be long until she starts borrowing or sharing stuff with them!

Nat’s in honor orchestra this year continuing her lessons on the cello. On Friday evening they performed at the school district’s pumpkin patch opening night. I was surprised by the number of students and how well they did considering school just started a few weeks ago.

The kids had some friends over for a play date yesterday. We had lunch at Five Guys burgers and then the kids cooled off in the pool. It was close to 100 degrees yesterday! In the afternoon, I took them for ice cream at a new ice cream shop called Ice Box. They specialize in ice cream sandwiches made with cookies or macaroons.

This morning Tyler treated us to breakfast a Rose’s Donuts. He found $15 in the parking lot at Chinese School on Friday.
