the big box came....

"Thank you Aunty Lilia & Uncle Maxim!..and happy birthday Uncle Maxim!" -Jason

The toys are soooo cute! you guys are the best:) I'm sorry about Jason not looking too enthusiastic about it...I dunno...maybe he's just camera shy! nyaha! I think Joe's enjoying them more than mister pitka...hahahaha!! but Jason LOVES them!...I know he will! hee hee!!

Happiest Thanksgiving!

to each and every one of you out there:) well...really actually it's not Thanksgiving just yet...but we thought we would celebrate it a little earlier since these next past weeks will be a bit busy!
so happy thanksgiving anyways!:)
on Tuesday, Love Hut joined us in a fun Thanksgiving party that's been the best so far! yay! lots of good food, and oishii dessert! games and Buster Keaton! ehee hee! definitely Buster Keaton...




the pilgrims and indians got together and made a wonderful feast

they also became GREAT friends

one freaky indian dude seemed to have really enjoyed his turkey

while the pilgrim girls decided to stick together..

everyone else decided to mingle

except for the littlest indian, who didn't seem very pleased about being left out

the little pilgrim boy decided that ink-feathered pens were old school, and decided to jump a few centuries and try technology...I think he rather enjoyed himself

after dinner, the indians and pilgrims got together to play some games..

they got a bit competitive...

...while the little pilgrim boy kept typing away...the whole while being sneaky about the can of beer

then when everyone started to get ready to go home, the littlest indian woke up

mommy and daddy were so happy and "thankful" that little papoose had slept through the whole party, allowing them to eat and play some games:)!!

and that would be the end of the Thanksgiving story!!

JASON

one month old!
I'm so proud of you pumpkin! through the weeks, you've grown...


















































..and filled our days with happiness and made this month the best yet:)

yesterday was Chiba day. the day where everything government related was free!!
so the kids were all excited about going swimming or skating. they did their school, JJT, you know..the normal routine. then at about 4:30, Joe took them out to skate. by the time they got there, which was around 5-ish.. they found out that it would be closing at 6! so the poor lil things all piled back into the car and came home.
aww...
I felt so sorry for them.
i guess next year, maybe!?

ramble

So I guess I’ll maybe keep this post to a “talking” post.
Of the recent…
The undokai went well---sorta. Other than not getting first place for the total points, the guys did real good, had lots of fun, and Joe won first place in the bread race! Hurrah! My love, I knew you could do it:) of course I didn’t eat his prized bread that he brought home for me, since it was anco! Eww. But I’m keeping it anyway! I wish I had photos from that day! But sadly, I didn’t go, which means my camera wasn’t taken. My dad snapped a bit with his, but I really doubt I’ll ever get around to taking them off his comp! maybe Lainy will post some on her blog…maybbeee…

Jason is getting big! Well…in a way! He’s almost a month old! I can’t believe it! He loooves his pacifier, baths, and anything flashy and bright. Joe also bought him some cute little rattles that Jason adores---wishes he could grab and eat them---but adores nonetheless! He also LOVES to lay on the bed and look up at his little toy set..thingy….he’ll cry in your arms, then once put down, gets real happy fast! It’s sooo cool:) makes me happy. Hee hee.
I’m basically recovered, and the best part is, I’m back down to my original weight (have been from the first week after Jason popped out!), and a little less! Weeeeeee. I can’t wait till I can get back into my normal workouts, and soon I’ll be able to take Jason out with me, so me and Joe can actually take him out with us and not have to leave him with grandma and the kids. (not that we don’t trust YOU! We just always worry and miss him when we’re not around for too long!)

joe's out at the job again...SNIFF! I always miss him on these days! and I don't think I'll ever get over it. I would say Jason misses him..but I really don't think he notices daddy gone...especially when all he thinks about is boob, poop, and major sleep. :) in November, they'll be busy ALOT, which makes me sad. maybe I'll handcuff him to our room and keep him with me:) tee hee hee.

Soooooooo that basically sums things up. I’m sure there’s more I could type up here, but Jason is awake and so I think the boob calls out to him:o
Muchos ai!

MIKA

I love those things! who will be the bread winner? (Babe knows what I'm talking about) who'll take photos... ooooooh well! I must be thankful. Me and Jason can chill at home ALL by ourselves and eat snacks together:) eehe! of course, daddy must win prizes to bring home to us:) mochiron!
