No Fish Allowed

NJ loves eggs and was more than willing to help. 
He had seconds and wanted the little that I left for myself. 
NJ was talking about his milk and something about "no fish allowed". 
I didn't understand until he showed me the carton. "See Mama, no fish allowed."
I said he was right about the symbol and it's meaning. But that it says no fish oils. He only read the "no fish" part. Ha, ha. I told him in this case it means that the milk doesn't have that in it. Not that there are no fish allowed in the milk or to drink the milk. 
NJ made himself a pillow fort to crawl through. 
He found some of his little cars in a bunch of stuff I brought home from Mom's. He was having so much fun with them. He hasn't seen any of his cars since they were packed up. 
We went to walk around at a store. He picked up Green Eggs and Ham and started to read and walk. He was running into stuff and people so we sat where there was some furniture. After, we met with Uncle Rex and Auntie Emily. Baba wasn't feeling that well so he went home to rest.

Registration and Hot Pot

Registration is open today for the school year. NJ is registered for school! We're so excited and so is he. 
Picking out some goodies from the Chinese market.
Hello baby!  What are you watching? 
Mmm... hot pot! Or as Uncle calls it, "a journey".

Coffee and Library


Someone had a craving for Coffee Bean. I can always do Coffee Bean, it's one of my favorites. We got two little mini donuts and split it. It was nice to sit and talk for a bit. Then we headed to the library. 

NJ found a book he says he liked reading at his school too (his last one). I listened as he read it through. 

Great job NJ! He really likes Go Dog Go! He says it's his favorite.

After a visit to the library, we went to walk around a store. He picked this up and said, "How cute is this?"
Where did he hear that from? He has an orange one at home as a party favor from a friend. 

Some down time with more friends. 

Puzzles! He hasn't gotten any out since being here. Glad he hasn't lost interest. 

My strong boy helping to bring the trash in. I didn't realize until later that it was actually still full and we missed the pick up! It was the evening already, I didn't think anything of it. Still getting used to these things. If I knew it was full I would have stopped him, they're heavy. 

Nice milk mustache!

More fixes and the place looks nicer each time. Hoping and praying that someone falls in love with it the way we did. And sooner rather than later. 

Lunch with Dad. We were admiring his plants and he started cutting some for us to take home to plant. How nice.

Leftovers for dinner. 

Meet up with the girls. They wanted dessert. Wow, this looks decadent and really sweet.

Visiting All People's together with Auntie and Uncle.

Some much needed nap time for the adults. NJ was wide awake and reading. 

Two somebodies got another somebody into this game! We played it yesterday for the first time. I'm terrible at strategy games. I like watching. The boys had a lot of fun playing.
