Uncle Dan came over to help build some games for our church's trunk or treat. It was fun for NJ to be the first to try them out. 

I was inside painting and NJ wanted to join me. I gave him a blank canvas instead of the pieces of wood I've been painting on. 

NJ had a soccer game, they did so well! Nathan blocked the ball many times and really got in there to play. It was fun to watch.

After, we asked one his teammates to ice cream. It was a hot day! They got the same flavor, I don't know what it was but it was rainbow colored. And we'd laugh at their faces when they ate the sour patches in it. 

Doesn't that hurt? We don't know why they decided to do this, but we we held them up so they don't fall on their heads! 

NJ didn't take long to finish filling in the whole world!

Cocoa has been scratching like crazy, turns out he is allergic to the food he's been eating. Baba thought maybe brushing out some of his fur might help. We ended up with enough fur for another dog. This shedding is a lot to clean! 

I love when he writes about our family. This made me melt.

Wear and eat red day for red ribbon week at school.

He's excited about this magnetic puzzle of the world with all the countries. 

It didn't take him long to put it together. 

I listened at the door as he face timed mom. He talked about the puzzle... About Japan and the Takamonos (that's how he says Takamoto), great grandma and Shr Mama and Shr Baba in Taiwan, Ama and Gong-gong in the Philippines... I also heard him singing Good Good Father which was adorable. Love to hear him sing. 

Cocoa has been so scratchy so Baba have him a good brush. There was enough fur for another dog. 

His creation walks on all fours or upright. The tail also helped it to stand on two legs. He loves to show us what he makes. We were impressed. I also thought his pants were cute the way he rolled up the bottom. He said they're too long. At least the waist fit and they weren't falling off his waist. 

This was our surprise he made us this morning. So sweet! Love it.
