Babies got board at home, we asked jiji to drive us to this cheap kids clothing shop called Nishimatsuya. I bought lots of winter clothes for twins, and Ton bought some for herself with her own money! Twins got board so jiji had to take them out and seat them in the car. 

Then we went to kids' favorite restaurant Saizeria for lunch, babies were too hungry they couldn't stop crying. Masaki loved mushroom soup, Naoya still crying not eating much but slowly started with his pizza after good 30 min cry. Oh well. Did some shopping for Mo's shoes, and Ton and Mo wanted to play at arcade. So we all went, babies loved freely walking around between games. 

Left both older children there, I took babies and jiji to have a break at a doughnut shop. Both Naoya and Masaki apparently was hungry they ate a couple of doughnut each. 

Then Ton and Mo wanted to go to hotspring, we went back home, packed change of clothes and towels, hit to road again. Babies were scared as it was their first time, and they didn't knwo what was going on, cried and refused to take off their clothes. I ended up taking both babies, but with Ton's help, they found the hot tubs were very nice. We could see setting sun and Mt. Fuji silhouette from the tub. They loved it so much they didn't want to leave and had to fight again... 

Outside, there was a quick bite restarutant that we could hang out and we had an easy dinner there. Babies were too busy to eat, and they fell asleep on the car ride back home. Oh long day...!

Cherry blossom sighting at Aoyama Cemetery

Walking around Aoyama Cemetery. It's surreal that cherry blossoms are falling and covering graveyards, and its beauty, ephemeral,  tranquility, everything I don't have enough words to express. And there were white dandelions on the ground. It's very unusual in east Japan. It made me happy to see a couple of flower petals on the loaf of bread I bought before the walk.   青山墓地で花見。 散りゆく桜の花びらが古いお墓に降り積もるのはなんともシュール で、美しさ、儚さと、静かさと、何とも言えず、非日常的。 そんな中、足元には白いタンポポ。東日本では珍しい。 家に帰って見たら、 お散歩前に買ったパンに花びらが付いていたのが何だか嬉しい。 Ships at a graveyard Old Christianity graveyard 白いタンポポ White dandelion Cherry blossom tunnel Cherry blossom petals on a graveyard Flower petals on a loaf of bread Videos of cherry blossom falling , cherry blossom falling like snow , and the last one .

Bus rider back home

Overheard a conversation between two senior ladies on the bus way back to home from work. One lady said she was worried about her daughter not getting married. "I was worried about her going out when she was young, and was careful not to let her go on date with some boys, but now I regret what I did. If she had more chances of meeting, she would've been married by now." The other lady was telling her that she was embarrassed by her daughter married to a man not from the good family. "Children of my brothers and cousins all married to the people from the good family. My daughter is the only one not married to such a good family. Even my husband's end relatives also married to decent family. I'm so embarrassed." The grass is greener on the other side of the fence. One is not happy about her daughter being single. One is not happy that her daughter doesn't belong to decent family that she can claim to her relatives. Probably both of them were trying to ...
