Father's/Grandfather photo shoot

The girls and I tried went on a rainy adventure with hopes of getting great photos to send to Dad and Grandpa's.  We went out to Mikae-dori Falls and it was gorgeous!  Japan does flowers right.  These hydrangeas love the rain so it seemed fitting to be out there when the flowers were happiest!









the little bridge had these hug nasty looking metal bug statues at every post... happy we didn't see the live versions!

Round One Party

Morgan had a great Round One party and with 6 hours of play time, we did it all!  We left at 8:30 AM and were back at 5:30 PM.  They also did the small ball bowling, double tennis, played with the automatic ping pong player, and tons of video games!











Bella wasn't 35 kg so couldn't segue

Look Who's 11?!

Friday I surprised Morgan in school with ice cream cupcakes.  As I entered the school I saw Bella lined up for lunch so it was perfect timing for her to come with me.  We laughed and I think I really made Bella nervous as it took me a few matches to get the candles lit in the hall way.  I got nervous when I realize the spot I had chosen was right under the smoke detector!  Getting the school evacuated would have really embarrassed my new Tween.

Saturday both Morgan and Bella had an all day trip to Greenland, an amusement park a couple hours away in Fukuoka with the Scout.  Their troops earned enough money off cookie sales to hire a bus and go!

Today was Morgan's birthday which started with facetiming Daddy, presents and treats.  Later in the day we went to an Iris festival.  Next weekend is her party with her friends.





Bella's unbirthday present is a hair salon appointment to get a cut and color her tips purple which she's been wanting to do for months!  Morgan got her hair trimmed and layered Friday night and she loves it!

(and here's the photo of the purple hair that didn't last long - but Bella loves the light blonde ends!)



presents from Grandma!  who sent out the box well ahead of time - the suspense was super hard for the girls!!

surprise ice cream cake in my office - since I don't have room for that in my tiny freezer!


the girls like the kissing pose - so each had to do it!
