Strawberries & blue berries cooked with balsamic vinegar

Night time solo time perfect for dessert time. Strawberry, blueberry, and balsamic vinegar heated up in a frypan. Wanted to add some sweetness, and topped cardamom ice cream. Delicious!

夜の一人時間にデザートを作る。苺とブルーベリーとバルサミコを軽くソテー。ちょっと甘さが欲しかったのでカルダモンアイスクリームを投入。美味しゅうございました。

Walking with twins

Nothing's going on but beautiful weather so took a walk to Juban with twins. Stopped over to a newly opened little grocery and tried some grilled sweet potato. Yummy! Then we went to book shop, bought a couple of Paw Patrol books, read at Starbucks bench in the outside while mama was having her break.

One of those days...

 Everything goes wrong, nobody's happy, there's such a day and that happened to be this day. So went to a small park we don't often go to for a change. Those huge smoothie helped their bowel movement tremendously...

Colorful flowers at the front yard of kindergarten

Pansies, marguerites, and other colorful flowers at the front yard of kindergarten. Take a close look, there's one that looks like a mutation of 2 or 3 marguerites. It looks like a lip, too, reminded me of "little shop of horrors"...
 

Picnic after kindergarten

Morning only, no lunch, so had a picnic at the small park after pick up instead of eating at home.

Hikawa Shrine portable shrine repairment on news paper

Mo had a school trip to go to Hikawa Shrine in the neighborhood to see their big portable shrine they repaired after 90 years, and the article about their visit was on the newspaper this morning. The storage was closed since 1935, and it's a miracle it survived the Tokyo bombing and the war. 

These videos are from 3 years ago when they first opened the storage to take the portable shrine to repairment: taking the portable shrine from the storage, and lifting up the portable shrine.
