Sleeping at Obaachan's
I got some of 007's pics from the trip to his parents place. I have a bunch that I need to post, but I love this one the best.

Scarientologist PhD
I was not privy to the following conversation, but my sister posted it
on Facebook, and it was with my kid, so I can copy it. This all
happened on skype while I was puttin BK to sleep.

Ed (talking to his aunt P): I want to be a Paleontologist when I grow
up, but a scary one. I want to be a Scarientologist!
Hope they offer that by the time he goes to college.

Always fun with Obaachan and Ojiichan
We always have fun when we head to Chiba, but this time was especially action packed!
The first full day there we headed to the aerospace museum near Narita airport. It was small, but both of the boys loved it. BK wouldn't stop saying "eh-peh" airplane. By the time we left he was saying "koki" hikoki just like Ojiichan.
He is so in love with airplanes and dinosaurs. Every time he hears the planes fly overhead he tells us all it was an airplane.
Day two involved a fun trip to the beach. I was starting to come down with whatever 007 had a day earlier, so I took no pictures. Obaachan took a few, but I've yet to get them from her. We were blessed to go at low tide and both of the boys had a blast playing on the mostly exposed sand bar, digging rivers and lakes and getting dirty.
Day three was a Saturday, so we could finally share the fun with daddy. Edamame has been begging to go to an aquarium for weeks. Then again he wants to go back as soon as we leave most times, but he's been especially vocal about wanting to go lately. The aquarium at Kasai is very inexpensive and pretty nice, so we headed out, tried to avoid the ferris wheel so that Ed wouldn't beg to go on too much, and enjoyed looking at the fish or "kaka" sakana.
Remember this picture? We tried to recreate it, but without anywhere near the same amount of success
NOOOOOOOOOOO!!! How tall am I mom?
Afterwards we stopped by Krispy Kreme on the way home. Since then we've had to make paper donuts here.
Day four was Sunday and Conference Sunday at that. We'd watched the two Saturday sessions earlier in the week, but we tried to keep the boys at the Stake Center for the two Sunday sessions. I was really surprised when we made it all the way to the second session, but it deteriorated quickly after that. Ed was climbing all over 007 and the boys were out and done within an hour of the start. We finished watching at Obaachan's and Ojiichan's on 007's laptop while they were out. It was a lot easier to pay attention then.
Day Five was another beach day and a BBQ with Uncle Takahiro. I got lots of compliments on Grandpa's BBQ sauce recipe, and need to translate it for the family. Thanks GreatGrandpa O! After nap time and a delicious dinner of soba and tempura we headed home. Ed and BK keep asking for Obaachan to come over. I guess they'll be really excited when I have to go back to the Dr. next week.

kunggu
I'll post a bit about our fun time with Obaachan and Ojiichan this weekend, but tonight's pre-bedtime antics were too much fun to not share. I especially love BK saying kungoo for kungfu.
I probably shouldn't let them hit each other, but they both had a blast. They both kept asking each other to play kung fu if the other got distracted.

Too much TV gives us crazy ideas
Mom, I want to swing like the monkey did from the vine, but I need my helmet so I don't get hurt.
Oh and the vine is my measuring tape.
Weddong!
A few weeks ago we were fortunate enough to go to a friend's wedding. Edamame absolutely loves her, and she's come over to play quite a bit. I was especially excited because she borrowed my dress. So glad to get extra use out of it. It was totally packed! We also found this Engrish gem on the wedding pamphlet they handed out.
Weddings here are like shows, with lots of entertainment, game shows with the bride and groom, and of course the cake feed...with the fun twist of making them eat it off of random objects like golf clubs or ping pong paddles.
