Cooking carrots from kindergarten

Made glazed carrots, though they were left too long some of their cores were too hard.

Mama pulled Masaki's wiggly tooth

 He was having hard time with wiggly tooth on the front bottom, so I used thread and pulled it out for him. It was nothing!

Made pizza at home!

 Used frozen dough and they made their own pizza.

Snack at Yokohama China Town

 We were all hungry, ventured out to the China Town. Very crowded, managed to find a table at Douhatsu tea room, and had some tea and snacks.

Hikawamaru Museum

 Boys wanted to get on a shop, so we went to check out the museum of Hikawamaru at the doc. Art deco interior inside, it served 30 years before and after WWII, and still here, which is impressive.

"We want to go to that shop!"

 

Gundam Factory in Yokohama

Went to see Gundam before they close for maintenance on May 9. Booked the tour to go close, though Naoya was scared of the noise he wanted to leave in 20 min. It was awesome looking at this huge robot moving for real!

ガンダムを見に横浜へ。5/9からしばらくメンテナンスのため閉鎖になるそうなので、その前に。せっかくだからと近くまで行けるツアーも予約して参加。近すぎて音も大きくて、チビ一人は帰りたいを連呼。動いているガンダムを見れて私はワクワク。周りも年齢高めの大人がほとんどで、皆さんマナーを守って静かに観覧。地上に降りてから休憩したり、展示を見たりしながら、結局3時間ぐらい滞在して、動くガンダムも３バージョン見れて満足。なんだかジーンとしてしまい、ガンダムが目の前にはいるけれど、本当はそんな戦うためのロボットが登場するような未来は必要ないんだよな、そんなことにならないように大人が努力するべきなんだと思った。フィクションのままであって欲しい、この子達のためにも。

Smiley face in the sky by Yoshihide Muroya

 エアレースパイロットの室屋義秀さんの#大空を見上げよう　

お友達はもちろん、幼稚園&小学校の先生方にも言いふらし、懇談会そっちのけで園庭でみんなで観ることが出来ました。最後はみんなで拍手！さらにこの後βも描いていました。ありがとう！

Told not only my friends, but also to the teachers at kindergarten and elementary school, we pushed back a parents meeting, just watched an airplane drawing a smiley face in the sky, together with kids at both facilities in the outside. Thank you!

Videos of A ring in the sky to begin..., The face, and Beta in the sky.

Oats milk latte with coffee beans from Di Bernardo, and sfogliatella

Pietre Preziose had a promotion of Italian coffee beans and they had this brand and Illy today. Pretty good and kept me up quite late at night...;-)
