Khai already had his graduation yesterday and today is the last time to play with his friends at the miniature golf course. Khai doesn't know how to hold the club but he's getting better at the end. Good bye, Mrs. Brown and friends.
We are so behind on updating our blog, so we figured that we'll update the latest first.
May 17 2009 -- Khai graduated from preschool
It's hard to believe that my baby is graduating from preschool and no more driving to downtown (it's about 30 minutes drive to Khai's pre-school vs. 10 minutes to Xander's school). Khai was pretty excited about his big day and can't wait to put on the cap. He looked so cute and so grown up.
We had potluck that every family brings a dish. There were so many yummy food, but kids didn't eat much because they want to go play the bouncing house before the line is too long. One family donated the cotton candy machine and it was so fun to watch them make the candy and eat them. We were in the line twice.
Khai is very excited to go to Xander's school and kept asking how many more days will that be.
This year Easter just caugh up on us. We didn't dye our eggs until Saturday night and only bought 3 small bags of candies for kids.
Khai's school had egg hunt on Friday and Xander didn't have school that day, so Xander went egg hunt with Khai. He was very helpful and had lots of fun of helping Khai hunting the eggs. Xander even helped a girl finding her eggs. They both were so sweet and Khai shared most of his goodies with Xander, poor mom and dad only had few candies.
Unlike the snowy and cold weather that we had in the past on Easters, this year we were fortunate enought to have blue sky and nice weather. We told kids to take a nap so Easter bunny can come and leave them goodies. Easter bunny sure left them lots of goodies and it took them 1 month to finish their goodies (well, I only limit them to eat 2~3 candies a day and most time they forgot that they had these canides.) Happy Easter.
This week is Xander's spring break and when we woke up in the morning we noticed it was white outside. The news said we got 7 inches of snow last night, so many school closed including Khai's. We looked out the window and saw our tree branches were so low because of the wet and heavy snow. It's spring break and we suppose to go out and play, not shoveling snow..
The snow in the drive way was very wet and heavy. I told boys to brush the snow off from the branches. The branches will jump high once you cleared the snow, really fun doing that. Kids would even hide under the bushes while I cleared the snow. We had a great snow day today.
Xander's class had a field trip at Chelsea and they planned to visit the Tree house, Jiffy Mix and Bear Factory, students got a teddy bear at the end of the tour (of course you have to pay for the bear and admission to the Tree house). It was Khai's spring break, so I decided to take Khai along with us.
We learned that Khai couldn't enter the Jiffy mix tour few days before the trip because he is under 6, so I told him ahead of time that he cannot attend the tour but we could walk around Chelsea down town. We pass Chelsea every Friday to go to Chinese school but only stopped there to visit its farmers' market few years ago. It would be nice to walk around there.
The Tree house was a indoor playground which is pretty similar to McDonald's except it sells pizza and expensive meals. Kids were having lots of fun running around and playing with their friends. They finished their pizza and lemonade, ready to visit Jiffy Mix cross street. Khai and I had 90 minutes break so we walked to Chelsea downtown and visited small shops. It was a nice day outside and so fun to walk around with Khai. We even stopped by a flower shop and looked at their fancy water fountains.
We still had 20 minutes before the class came to the Teddy Bear Factory, so I took Khai to visit the factory first. It wasn't the factory that I thought you make a wish and stuff inside your bear and get your hands on building your own bear. It just a store displayed many already finished teddy bears and you saw some people sewing the bears or stuffing cottons inside the bears through the glass.
A lady did gave us a tour and told about the history of the teddy bears, she then took us inside the factory and explained us how they made a teddy bear by showing us the patterns, plates and cutting machine. We ran out of time so we had to wrap up the tour and had each kid pick a teddy bear.
Xander said he had lots of fun at the Jiffy Mix and he picked up a Brownie mix from the factory, way to go Xander! It will be only 2 more years until Khai can visit Jiffy Mix. We had a long but fun field trip.
