Playdoh with the mice.

Too cute.  Jia was watching them while I cleaned their house.  We're starting to think we have miniature mice...they just aren't growing anymore.  They're so fun.  They love to explore and cuddle.  Perfect pets.

Trains

To say Kai loves trains is an understatement.  Luk likes them just fine.  So, boys and I took off this morning so we could ride the train before it gets too hot for Luk.  Quite thankful for a train in our back yard and our seasons pass.  Love that it's a super clean place to go play.

We took the convertible.  They are both such sweet, well behaved boys. We had a great time.  So relaxing with just two kids!  Or, so relaxing without Jia. Plus...my favorite part about the boys...not a lot of serious chatter.  No big thoughts needed ;)

Waiting to see the steam train hook up.

I asked Kai to write his name on his picture, and HE DID!  Can you see it?  So proud.

Love

This man has been working since 6 this morning.  Kai was up at 5:30.

I've been playing.  He made us all breakfast.  Boys and I took off.  Now I'm wanting outside so he's dropped what he's doing to clean the deck for me.  So sweet. He also got ac in Fei's room, I'm not sure we'll see her all summer.

Painting

Fei made a wooden fish for Jia.  Jia wanted to paint it.  Fei didn’t love that idea.  Which lead to talks about gifts, ownership, letting go and respect.  Ug.  Then Jia came to me later and said "I know, I can paint a "picture" of Fishy instead of painting Fishy".  Little Smartie.

Big Girls are Done

Their last day of school was today.  Happy girls here.  Lili is onto grade 10 and Fei is onto grade 9. 

Hoping for lots of lazy summer fun.  We're ready for a break!

Rainbow Crosswalk

Our little community has been publicly debating a rainbow crosswalk.  Lili has been watching keenly and is disgusted that there is even debate.  Today Eric heard about a pop up rainbow and took the girls for an evening drive in the convertible to see it.  Sure hope the powers that be let it stay there.

Father's Day

We stayed home today.  Eric's choice.  Big surprise. 

Mom and Dad came over and we did dumplings.  Again, Eric's choice.

Nice peaceful day.  Got lots done.  Catching up to the house a bit.
