Fei's 1st day on the new job.

1st day was orientation, so not on the floor quite yet.
We celebrated Fei with love.
I woke up from a nap to this face.  Yikes.  That was a cobwebby mess to pick off of her.  She looked so distressed.
We were rocking the matching greens.
Eric and Ken took the three boys to see the Teenage Mutant Ninja movie while we visited then we scored dinner out together at May Gold.  It's been YEARS since we've been there.  The buffet isn't back but the dinner for five was reasonably priced and so good.  
One of our kids needed a break from people on the way home so while an attempt was made by Eric at some therapy, Kai and I scored a Goldstream stroll.  Look how tall he got this summer!  
Goldstream was not all that I remembered.  
Fei and I found these for Kai.  He was thrilled.
Getting along and having fun. Sending me proof that everyone was having fun.  Haha.
Catching up with friends. Anna and Abigail.  Catherine and I visited on the phone for a couple hours while the girls were together.  
So, it's back to school time.  You all KNOW how much we hate boy shoe shopping.  I gave the boys fair warning.  We went to Walmart after Luk's pediatrician appointment today and it was smooth, calm and successful!!  No one cried or yelled or complained or anything.  It was like they were someone else's kids being cooperative and on their best behavior.  
Then we found dinosaur boots for Kai.  Luk made faces but he grudgingly admitted they were perfect for Kai.  It will definitely help with Kai attempting to wear everyone else's boots, especially at school.  
I figured we'd done so great with shoes that we should look for fresh rain coats and found those too!  
As if shoes and coats weren't exciting enough, Kai found his Halloween costume. They're dinosaur pajamas, don't tell him.  He was soooo happy about this costume.  Maybe Halloween will be a bit less stressful for him with a costume he loves.

The jammies were so cute I bought the shark one for Luk, and three for the girls, unicorn, dragon and a fox.  Thought they'd make a good Christmas jammie option.  Kai's might not still fit by then though and I bought the blue unicorn for Lili but she wants the green and purple dragon I got Jia.  The purple fox was for Fei.  It's entirely possible the four will just go back.  We'll see.  
My thrift store find today. Popper guns.  Luk was thrilled with his first gun.  He's shocked it was allowed.  Kai immediately was pointing at people.  Repeatedly. Even with reminders.  I gave them a talk about immediate removal if they aim at people or animals. Eric hung close to Kai and he made it through playing in the front yard.  We put them in the motorhome to use on the next camping trip.  Kai can't see the balls coming out or where they went and he can't see them to pick them up.  It is truly shocking how bad his eyesight is now.
Figuring out how they work.  Of course.
