“A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2014.” The light in our room is amazing so I’ve been trying to get a photo of my sleeping kids every morning. It’s been an interesting and fun project of mine since it’s funny to see all the strange sleeping positions I find them in. Of course, this also involves me waking up before they do, which isn’t an issue since I’m usually the first one up in our house.  I know this is a week late but it’s been quite the week we’ve been having. Last week was not a good week forRead More →

“A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2014.” These two were playing with the little plastic toy cars that came with their kids meal while we waited for the bus. Good thing they were cheap little toys because K lost hers while we were on the bus. It was a fun distraction while it lasted though!  It’s really hot and humid lately. E started attending summer school which meant that on days when K was at daycare, I had time to myself to get things done around the house. On the weekends, we’ve been going to splash pools to cool off.Read More →

“A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2014.” A bit too hot in the afternoons here to go out so we turned our bath into a small water play area. The kids didn’t mind as long as they got to play with water.   We’ve been having some really hot days in Tokyo last week so we stayed indoors most of the time to avoid being in it. E doesn’t mind it too much since she doesn’t really like being out in this weather. K doesn’t really like the heat either but she’s always itching to be out and about. WeRead More →

“A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2014.” Jumping on our gigantic hamsters together and laughing about it. 🙂  We’re still digging through all the boxes in our apartment. I swear, we take out 10 or so boxes down to the recycle bin almost every other day but there’s still a large amount of them sitting there waiting for us. As I told Jason, I probably wouldn’t have such a hard time unpacking if I would just chuck everything away without having to figure out if it goes into the recyclable trash, burnable trash, large-item trash, or for reselling. It alsoRead More →

“A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2014.” I was unpacking some stuff in the kitchen when I hear giggles coming from the living room. I peek over and I see these two monkeys playing with something in the corner by my computer. It was so sweet 🙂  At this point in time, I’m tired of unpacking. I have most of my kitchen unpacked and the laundry room is done too. I’m about ready to just throw in the towel and call it a day. (though I never do)Read More →

“A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2014.” We’ve finally moved into our new apartment and are working on unpacking and getting life back on track. As you can see, my kids have been on the iPad mini a lot mostly because having them both home all the time is starting to drive me crazy and the only way I can get anything done is if I give them the iPad to distract them. Hopefully, once I’m a little more organized with things at home, we can do more activities away from the screen.  Seriously, the iPad is a sanity saverRead More →

“A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2014.” I’ve taken a lot of photos of these two monkeys this past week but this one is still my favorite one. They’re actually getting along and not yelling, screaming, crying, or fighting with each other. I’m going to miss seeing them hide under Jason’s desk to read, play, and/or watch the iPad after we move. This week was the first full week of summer break for E, which meant that it’s been a very tiring week having both girls home with me most of the time. K still went to daycare on MondayRead More →

“A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2014.” Bath time portrait. These days, it’s just easier bathing them together since they like to play in the tub together. Unfortunately, our new home has a smaller tub so they won’t be able to enjoy bath time as much as they do now.   It’s been a while since I’ve posted a photo for this project. Things keep piling up and I lose track of time. So here is week 25. We’re almost halfway done with the year and we have a week left of living in this apartment. If you saw ourRead More →
