Matsuri!

On Thursday night, we went to see Matsuri at Imperial Palace. It was a small scale Variety show. All of the acrobats/ performers are from Japan. I guess the show is called "Muscle Musical".

Guess who was called onto the stage....NEIL! He played ring toss with the performers....hahaha...


He has a pouty face until the camera snapped his pictures...

Nice day!

Although it was a short day...it was nice.

I helped out in my friend Andi's class...the combo K/1class is so cute...they greet me with a "hello Miss Sheri"!

Afterwards, Jeff and I had lunch with the Canadian...he took a few days off for some family time since the boys don't have school on Thursday or Friday. At lunch, we saw a gnome...turns out a group of guys were honoring someone's birthday...too cute...Lori said I had to take a picture and blog about it....






Afterwards, Jeff and I went to Half-Price books...when I used the restroom, there was a note on the mirror....what a nice thing to do...it brightened my day! Thank you to whoever left it there....unless...there was a camera stashed somewhere....hmmm.....






Lastly, my friend Lori gave me a new pattern for a "potato chip scarf"...so far, I really like it....of course it is purple...I'll post a picture when I am done...

Giants and Wreaths

WHOO HOO!!! LET'S GO GIANTS!!! Today was the victory parade for the World Series Champions...the San Francisco Giants....unfortunately, I couldn't go to SF...although my friend Julie went....I was very tempted to go with her...but, I had appointments today...and Grandma....so, it's ok...the crowds looked crazy! CONGRATULATIONS GIANTS!!!

I put away the little bit of Halloween decorations that I took out last weekend and went on a search for the Thanksgiving wreath I made last year...I COULDN'T FIND IT!!! So, I made a new one...I had all the supplies...including a straw wreath so...



I think I like the grapevine wreath better...I hope I find it!

During the past few basketball practices, inhale been making the bells for the "sleigh bell" wreath....I finally decided to finish it since I had my glue gun out....


It turned out really cute! And I used a ton of things that I had laying around...yeah!

Now if only my yarn and fabric sup pies would dwindle down!

Last picture...Neil and Nori going to sleep...cute eh?

Happy Halloween

The boys haven't wanted to dress up for the past few years...so, Nori got costume....


I had to get it...besides the fact that it was PURPLE...it was also 50% off...

Besides shopping for Nori...I have also been busy scrapping (scrap booking). My goal was to finish all of Hawaii before Neil's family birthday party next week...but, I didn't quite make it...so, most of the stuff went onto the washing machine...and it will come back out on Monday.

But, I did finally collage last year's Christmas pictures. Every year I keep the pictures people send to us, and I collage them into a poster frame...I usually don't do this until February...because I have received late cards...this year, I was a little busy...so, it didn't get up until now...can you see yourself?



Today is Neil's 10th birthday....last night his best friend Logan spent the night...


...and he opened presents from Jordan and us tonight....

Treats and tricks

I bumped into my friend Christine @ Michaels and she told me that she has been having fun with the Mini Monsters Cricut cartridge. I decided to use the enclosed directions for the treat bags for Neil's family birthday party...here are the tags and decorations...there are little rhinestones on the tree...did I mention that Neil is turning TEN!?!


So far, no PINK cast....Jordan stayed home from practice tonight to make sure he gets to Sunday with no PINK cast....the splint comes off on Sunday...and then he has to tape his fingers all day for a week and then only for practices/games.

He says he is swearing off tetherball...we shall see...

An Extern, Urgent Care and a PINK cast threat

This has been the month of doctor's appointments. This morning, I went to the clinic for my annual blood work. After waiting an hour, I was finally called in...I knew it was going to be bad. To start off, I was across from a little baby...secondly, the tech was an extern (dunno, is that the same as an intern?), who also happened to be an older lady. The extern was having a difficult time finding a vein, then when she found one, it felt like she was hacking off my arm....seriously, pain was shooting up my arm....oh, and of course, the baby was crying at the same time...luckily, the tech who was supervising the extern, took over immediately and was able to draw all 5 tubes in a matter of a minute or so....it took longer for the extern to look for a vein....


Two trips to Urgent Care occurred this weekend...the first was Saturday night. I called the Palo Alto Medical clinic in Fremont....to inform them that Jordan had "cracked" his cast....they gave me an 8:45 pm appt, they close at 9pm. We rushed to FREMONT Urgent only to find out that they closed at 5pm and I had been transferred to the Urgent Care in Palo Alto. We were in Redwood City when I called, I didn't know I was talking to UC in Palo Alto.

So, Sunday morning, I took Jordan to Fremont UC...the spoke to the orthopedist on call, who happened to be his doctor...taped it up and told me to make an appointment on Monday.

Since we were at the clinic on Sunday, we were able to get our flu shots. Neil was a slam dunk...he even finished before me....Jordan was another story....THREE nurses later, we walked out with a VERY grumpy boy...grrr...I should have taken a picture of that!

Monday afternoon, they removed the cast and splinted it, with the threat of re-casting with a pink cast, should Jordan not behave...
