Kaiya came over to play today. The kids ran around and played with toys and jumped on the bed.
After dinner, we drove over to Griffith Park to check out the DWP light festival. It’s a driving tour. It took us 1 hour of sitting in traffic before starting the light show section. Thank goodness for a port-a-potty, otherwise we would’ve had to give up and get out!
Natalie’s school had a Kindergarten performance last Thursday. She was so excited about dressing up and performing in front people. Tyler was sick so he had to stay home with Dad. Before the show, I asked Natalie if she wanted me to go or her dad and she said she wanted me to go because she knew if I didn’t get a chance to see her sing, I would be sad. The show room was packed with people and I had to stand in the back. It was hard to take pictures and video without someone standing in front of me. The kindergarteners sang about 6 or 7 different songs.

On the Saturday after Thanksgiving, after all the Black Friday mayhem, we took Po Po to the city to ride the cable car. The kids loved it and even got to hang in the back for awhile.
It was a nice day in the city, but a little windy.
The kids suckered Po Po into buying them ice cream even though it was cold outside
The kids started the morning by watching the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade
In the afternoon, Kaiya came over and the kids played outside

Natalie had a day off from school today for Veteran’s Day. In the morning, after breakfast, she played with her toys for awhile and then did some homework. After homework, she played some math games online. Then after lunch, we baked chocolate chip cookies together. She had fun helping with mixing and pouring the chocolate chips into the dough. She was excited that so many cookies were baked and wanted to offer them to any guests that came to our house.
We went to celebrate Sinclaire’s 2nd Birthday at Oak Meadow Park in Los Gatos on Saturday. Auntie Kathy and Uncle Carrington make some delicious pulled pork and ‘slaw sandwiches and a bunch of other goodies! The kids had fun playing on the playground, and riding the choo-choo train and the merry-go-round.

On Wednesday afternoon, I got a call from Natalie’s school telling me she wasn’t feeling well and had a low grade fever. Ai yai yai. Sure enough, she had the same symptoms as Tyler. Headache, fever, and vomiting. We got an appointment the next day and she was able to get Tamiflu as well. Natalie’s vomiting much more severe than Tyler’s. She went back to the doctor’s office a second time to be treated for dehydration.
Day 2 – Take your medicine please
Day 3 – Feeling better, let’s read a book
Day 4 – All better and ready to have some Halloween fun!
