Epiphanies

We had okonomiyaki, dango, fish and shrimp skewers, salmon rice balls and Kobe fugetsudo (thin waffle with red bean and mochi, chestnut with mochi)… We also checked out Marukai in Costa Mesa which did not have Beard Papa’s…

Yummy Thai Bamboo takeout – Penang curry, tofu with peanut sauce, chicken spring roll and grilled pork chops.

Had circuit training today and Caedon had an unfortunate encounter with the soccer ball which resulted in lots of blood gushing from his nose and onto his clothes…

Facebook changed things again…

With all the things going on with China lately I had to give up my favorite brands so here are some new ones that were doable:

Testing wordpress for the iPhone…this photo was taken at kula which is a Japanese revolving sushi place we ate at on Friday night. $2 a plate. You can’t beat that!

I’m sold.  It couldn’t get any easier.  Cut up a pot roast into smaller pieces, salt and peppered it and threw it into the slow cooker and wala – dinner.  Well, I had to do the rice cooker too but still, it was an easy breezy way to cook meat.

Practiced multiplication with B.  I almost fell asleep during one of the sessions.  I broke it up so that I could keep B’s attention a bit longer and mine too.  Talk about boring stuff.

J had stinky poop today – I think it’s a residual formula poop from the other days.  Makes me want to nurse him for longer if it means I could avoid changing the stinky diaper.  Boy was it nasty.  Forgotten how foul it could smell.

Forgot to mention C did diving in the outside pool again yesterday.  Well, more like belly flopped in but he’s still cute doing it.  I should have filmed it.  B came along since he’s on spring break.  I made him write a book report on one of those Deltora books that he’s reading.  P and I chatted about her new movie which is going to be shown this friday but unfortunately I can’t make it because Dh has a poker game with his buds and I have to take care of the kids.  I mentioned that I heard her neighbor is selling her house (which has a lake front view) for $1.1.  It’s tempting but she said it wasn’t worth it.  I already knew that but it’s still tempting.

B went to the batting cage with Dh the other day but I think he took out his frustration (couldn’t  hit a lot of the balls) on DD and DD had a  nervous breakdown (haha).  Poor Dh.

We played Candyland – Dora the Explorer.  B won so he was happy.  Think he’s been a bit perturbed by his losing streak so this was good.  I really want the kids to be laid back about losing at games.  It’s all just a game – nothing to get huffy about.
