My brother offered up $ for anyone if they would go dance in the field. Lili did it. No surprise. She was surprised to actually get money though. Fei got some cute shots. I love the one with her hair flying. Kids did well, both Gramma and I gave them money for the market, Lili made some dancing and they only bought one drink. Gramma bought Fei a dress too. She wore it for her piano recital.
Lili and Fei went with Gramma and Grampa to Saltspring on Saturday and we met them for dinner later with the littles. Eric worked outside, I did five loads of laundry snd watched a few episodes of season 3 OITNB, Jia did hours of serious crafting, Luk did a lot of nothing. Jia is all about getting to a park these days so we ended the day with a little play.
Yay. Jia was delighted to have Fei all to herself for two good swims tonight. She can touch the bottom this year.
Luk was equally excited to see water in his pool too. The beginning of those lazy summer days.
A mom from school posted a picture of Fei running in the local district track meet.
Stathacona here she comes. The pack is 27lbs! The list was crazy long for each kid.
Hope she has a great time!
Stuck around home most of the weekend. Trying to stay cool. Laundry is all caught up. Eric has a cold or allergies. Hard to tell because it's the man version. Kids and I escaped this evening and cooled down at a park by the ocean.
Luk is in bed. Jis is in the bath and I think it will be an early night for the rest of us.
Lili needed a few things for her school camping trip. So we went shopping after work/school today.
We managed to find everything she needed. Had a great dinner out at the Chinese place that has the best tapioca in the world. Kids ate well, knowing there was tapioca coming ;) Then we hit Walmart because the girls rain pants are missing and it's the only place we could think of that stood a chance of having any. Sadly they only had them in men's small which were still huge on her. I'll take a stab again at finding them on the weekend. Fei had them on her school trip not that long ago. Weather is supposed to be great, I vote she goes without them. Then we hit shoes, so many cute shoes on sale. Two pairs for Fei, one for Jia and Lili and four pairs for Luk. Then I found my new suitcase...couldn't have dreamt up a better one. Ours are all toast. They don't fair well through air travel. I like this one so much it might have to stay home looking pretty in the luggage cupboard.
Sort of the anniversary that wasn't. We celebrated 23 years last year but 23 years was actually this year.
The big girls had dance tonight so we met Penny and girls for Chinese food. Then after dance we celebrated China's Children's Day with chocolate chills from Tim's.
Luk had an ultra sound scan this morning to look for his testicles. He did great. He even quite liked the warm jelly in his privates. When we were leaving the hospital he said "that was fun". A couple hours after the scan his pediatrician called to confirm that both of his testicles are undecended and he needs surgery. Sigh. Now off to read about how they fix that instead of waiting for the surgeon to tell us. He has a consult for July 8.
