Curie September 2019

September means Curie’s birthday and we had her party at Scramble. Elia got her little cake again and sat next to Curie to blow out the candles. For her birthday Curie wanted the Clock Tower from Hogwarts (more than the main hall) because it was a big set and Curie is very proud of being able to build entire sets on her own, though this time she did want us to help if just to keep her company. Note, we did not finish the clock tower until October. The party was great, and as with each party since starting school we also invited new friends from school that Curie just met. It made for a bit of disjointed playing as there were friends from Bright Horizons, friends from school, and new friends as well. Continue reading “Curie September 2019”

Elia September 2019

So Elia starts kindergarten. We pause for a moment and recognize what a big change this is for her. When Curie went to kindergarten Elia cried when Curie got on the bus because she couldn’t get on the bus. Elia was nervous and Curie told Elia that she was nervous when she got on the bus the first time, something she never told us. But Elia was a trooper and had a great first day. Albert wrote in Facebook that on the drive to work that he was sad that Elia wasn’t in the car anymore and that he missed her. Both of us had tears in our eyes as the bus pulled away. Tears of pride and sadness as the girls grow up and continue to grow up.  Continue reading “Elia September 2019”

Hidden Oaks Nature Center

More pictures from our trip to the Hidden Oaks Nature Center, Took the nice camera, can you tell? Elia was actually laughing hysterically but we caught this one in action and it is one of our favorites; and we were able to catch Curie looking at her sister with the big sister face. I found some pictures from five years ago to remind us of how fast it is going.
One day they won’t want to wear the same clothes, but today they are so cute. Oh we saw a deer too. Tanpopo and then the Hidden Oaks Nature Center.

Chengineering, September 8, 2019

Curie got a 922 piece Hogwarts Clock Tower for her birthday that we did not want to disturb, so Elia and Albert free built this doll house out of our Lego box.
The inhabitants of the house (other than the Lego Friends laying on the floor and the secret superhero on the side room (left-hand side of the second picture). Okay, so Elia says the Genies are in love and the Bat Family have a little girl. She put the blonde hair on the other genie, and put short legs and the brown hair on the pink Batman.

Curie’s Eighth Birthday Party!

Curie’s eighth birthday party at Scramble. The theme was Under the Sea, but not the in the Little Mermaid way (that was later for Natalie’s party). We wore Mera from Aquaman and decorated the party accordingly – without Aquaman.
Superman, Wonder Woman, the Incredibles, and Mera it is amazing we have not done Batman/Batgirl. Also three of these were for Curie’s birthday parties.
Curie’s birthday party was in the morning, Natalie’s was in the afternoon, tomorrow morning is Chloe’s.

Curie August 2019

August is about Japan and back to school. We have written about Japan in our Vacation, Urban Hiking, Food Crawl section, and in Elia’s blog, but as we said in Elia’s blog we will try to write from each girl’s perspective as well. Curie looks like a kid now, with her missing teeth and gangly limbs, but she is still so much our little girl wanting to help and take care of everyone. She grew an inch this summer, making her taller but still shorter than most of her friends. She rediscovered cheese and eats a lot of pizza, so hopefully she is getting some calcium.
