Emily and Zoo
We were so excited to go there with them.
But then.....things were happened that I got call from Daniel's school because Daniel got sick and throw up at his classroom. I had to go pick him up and stay home with him.
So, kindly our friend took Emily to go to the zoo.
She packed up her lunch and said "I'll go and have fun with my friends!!"
Kota couldn't go without me, so he stayed with us at home.

I'm Cool !!
この間ダニエルが学校から帰ってくると、同じクラスの他の男の子が学校にサングラスをかけてきていて、とてもかっこよく見えたので自分も同じようにしたいと言いだしました。
So, he asked my permission to wear a sunglasses to go to school next day.
I said okay and he was so excited!!
何度も頼まれ、オーケーを出してあげました。もちろんダニエルは大喜びでした。
Next morning, his teacher(Mr.Abrams) saw Daniel and asked him that Are you a "Rock star?".
Daniel said "Yes!!" ( He was sooooooooo happy.)
次の朝担任の先生はダニエルを見て、「ロックスターですか?」と聞いたそうです。
ダニエルは嬉しく得意げに「そうです!」と言ったらしい。(さすがダニエル)
This picture was October 7th.(この写真は10月7日)
His next cool looking thing was a ware a jacket and cap and sunglasses to go to school......
ダニエルの次のかっこよくオシャレにの段階はジャケットを着て、帽子をかぶり、サングラスをかけて学校に行くこと・・・・
and it came to pass His dream has come true on October 14th!!!
そして・・・・10月14日ダニエルの夢が叶う!
It was little bit chilly in the morning.
He thought he was coolest boy in his class.....

Saturday afternoon's Happenings
She thought it was fashionable.....
えみりが密かに子供部屋に工作用のはさみを持ち込み、こうたのベッドの上で前髪をチョキッ!と切ってしまいました・・・。彼女自身はそれが可愛いと思ってしたことらしいのですが・・・・・・。
I evened her bangs but she didn't like it so she cried a little bit.
えみりの前髪をそろえてあげたのですが、彼女はどうも気に入らなかったらしく、泣いてしまいました。 不二家のペコちゃんみたいで「可愛いよ」と言ってあげると、ペコちゃんが何かも知らないのにちょっとにっこりしてくれました。でも、”ペコちゃん”に似てるでしょ??
Emily's fairy tale with twist.
She can make up her own stories very well and she was telling one of her make up story with stuffed animal and cardboard house. But Kota wanted to join her story, so he was interrupting her.
えみりは自分でお話を考えるのが大好きで、この日もウサギのぬいぐるみと段ボール箱の家を使ってお話をしていました。こうたもこの時えみりのお話しに参加したかったらしく横から邪魔をし始めてしまいました。

Ground Breaking Ceremony
It has been about a year since our church building was destroyed by a fire.
私たちの教会堂をこれから建設するに当たって「鍬入れ式」が行われました。
今から約1年ぐらい前に私たちが毎週集っていた教会堂は火事になり、燃えつくされてしまいました。
なので、それ以来べつのステークの教会堂を借りて集会をしています。
Picture what the church will look like. 教会堂の完成予想図
There was a pancake breakfast for all people who participated in ceremony. Kota ate at least 4 big pancakes.....which is surprised me a lot.
式に参加したすべての人に、パンケーキの朝ごはんが用意されていました。(アメリカでは朝ごはんにベーコンと卵とパン又はパンケーキやワッフル、といったものが一般的かな、あとはシリアルとか) コウタはパンケーキを4枚はペロリと食べてしまいました。私はあんまり食べないだろうなぁと思っていたのでちょとびっくりでした。

Three little Monkeys love to Dance!!
We were practicing a song for Primary Program this evening.
When we finshed practice a song then Daddy turned the keyboard on and played fun music for kids.
They like to dance to music very much, so they started dancing.
They dance like a monkeys in the Jungle.....I think it's cute but it was noisy.
Anyway, It was a fun sunday night.
10月にあるプライマリーの聖餐会での発表にそなえて歌の練習をしました。
そして、歌の練習が終わるとダディーが子供たちのためにキーボードで楽しい音楽を流してくれました。
我が家の子供たちは音楽に合わせて踊るのが大好きで、音楽が流れ出すと自然と踊りだしました。
子供たちはジャングルの”おサルさん”のように踊っていました・・・それはそれで可愛いんだけど、結構うるさかったなぁ。
まぁ、なんだか楽しい日曜の夜でした。

Planting
Emily loved it .......until she gets hot and tired.
Emily's friend found worms and they tried to show it to Emily, but she was scared to get close to it.
Emily VS. Worm..................Worm won!!
We had a good time today.
Emily and her Friend planting together.
友達と一緒に花を植えているえみり。
近所の友達が花を植えるということで、えみりも一緒にしませんか?というお誘いがありお手伝いさせてもらうことにしました。
えみりはとても喜んでやっていたのですが、だんだん暑くなり疲れてきたらしく途中でやめてしまいました・・・。
えみりの友達がミミズを見つけたので、手に乗せたミミズをえみりの近くに持ってきて見せようとしてくれていたのに、えみりは恐がって「ぃやー!」という様子でした。
えみり対ミミズ・・・・・・・・・・ミミズの勝ちー!
いい経験をさせてもらえてよかったなぁー今日は。
