Scary Halloween

By
I'm usually not a fan of Halloween at all just like how I'm not a fan of scary movies.  But, after making Ethan's last-minute costume with Lucas last night, I realized that it can be fun.  I came up with a ghost idea because how much simpler can you get for a diy costume, right?  I asked for one of Lucas' old white tshirts, and started digging around in my craft drawers.  I found some googly eyes and black foam sheets.  We opted for the black foam so that we could make the ghost eyes bigger.  As Lucas was cutting up the bottom of the shirt into jagged triangles, he made me think of Pacman ghosts.  I temporarily got excited to make  a Pacman ghost costume, but Lucas brought me back down to earth by saying it might not be clear since we were using a white tshirt.  Oh well, maybe next year we can all be Pacman ghosts, hehe.  Now, if we could only get him to wear the tshirt ghost costume!  He's been getting picky about what he's willing to wear these days because he's gotten so used to only wearing tshirts all summer.  This child refuses to be tied down in any way.  Perhaps this is a harbinger of things to come in adolescence, oh oh...

We're eating fruit roll up for the first time because his classmate gave them out in goody bags.  How do some moms find the time to do these things like goody bags??




Success!

2nd + 3rd weekend of August

Thank you for the lovely notes and cards of comfort and warmth yesterday.  To be honest, I was a bit surprised to hear from some of you, but it's nice to know there are a few people actually reading this blog.  I feel a lot better today because of you guys.  *virtual hugs*  Time also has a way of lessening the deepness of the sadness.  I'm sure there will be days ahead that will be difficult again, like when I actually see my mom in person for the first time, but I'll cross that bridge then. In the meantime, I'd like to continue doing regular things to further distance the sad feelings and memories.  I wish I blogged more regularly so that I wouldn't start forgetting things, but c'est la vie.  Ethan has gotten used to his new shoes now, and doesn't protest putting them on as much anymore.  We did go to Little Gym in our area, and Ethan was curiously terrified.  He wouldn't let go of Lucas, and refused to be put down.  Even his legs and...

Fixin 'er up!

My blu-ray player stopped working all of a sudden on Friday. I was thinking oh well, I've been wanting to upgrade it anyway for a while. Then another thought came into mind, hey, I should try upgrading the firmware before trashing it. Just upgraded, and I get to see this now:

It's Okay to Not Be Okay in 2020

By
 This year has been, what can we say; Disruptive, strange, and hard.  We were supposed to go on an epic Japan adventure sans kids for the first time, party at the BTS concert together, and explore more of LA as a family to name a few of our plans.  Instead, we tried to make the most of remote learning, rearranged our home to accommodate two work from home parents, worked our butts off to retain both of our jobs, and found small ways to keep the sanity. To focus on the bright spots though: 1. We are now raising some cute fish in a 10 gallon tank 2. Tie dying has become a family hobby 3. We enjoy quality family time every weekend with a lunch {& boba drinks} & movie date (Disney's Onward and Netflix's Over the Moon are standout favs)  4. Netflix & Kdrama has become a fond pastime for Eleen & Lucas (Netflix's Signal and It's Okay to Not Be Okay are excellent) 5. No one has been sick for a whole year (with kids in preschool & elementary school normall...
