It's Fall, Y'all!

E's hair

The temps are cooling down and the bugs are dying off.  We've been spending a lot more time outside lately, which is awesome.  

E is finally brave enough for the 100 yen pony rides at the park.

E and I went blueberry picking.  

Love from Daddy

I've cleaned out the space under our bathroom sink and the girls love to play in there

They also love to take their mattresses off their beds and jump on them.  Perfect for a rainy day.

E's hair

In Kyoto we went to the hotel pool.  We all had to wear a swim cap.

Finally got the girls a real haircut.  LC went first, just a trim and she did great.

Ellis was also very patient.  Now she still has plenty of curl but less tangles.

There was a fall festival at our local train station.  Halloween is becoming more popular each year in Japan. 

Leyton wanted to be Hello Kitty AGAIN this year.  While she can technically still fit into the size 18 month costume she was worn the past three years, I decided to try and convince her to try something new.  I knew it would have to been something awesome.  This Paw Patrol Skye costume did the trick.

On Monday, Hosen had it's annual Sports Day

Here is Ryan pulling LC in a box.  It was very entertaining and borderline dangerous (a couple of kids took a spill, but LC didn't).

Ellis did fabulous.  She stayed in line, didn't cry and had her dance routine down solid.

We were very proud of our girls

The girl's got medals with Mickey Mouse on them.  I got major cool Mommy points when I pulled out my own Mickey medal from my first marathon.

This week the girls switched to the 'winter' uniform at school.

I tried to get a cute picture of them together.  Instead, Ellis had a giant fit because I wouldn't let her push her babies to school in her toy stroller.  Oh well.  She got over it...eventually.

Hope you all are well!  Love you and miss you!
