Doug Unplugged

Tonight we went for another story time at The Yellow Book Road. Apparently it is screen free week, where everyone is supposed to turn off all electronics and do something else. The kids acted like this was such a crazy suggestion! The owner of the book store read a few books that were written specifically for screen free week. One of the books was called "Doug Unplugged" about a robot that unplugged and learned so much during that time. The kids enjoyed story time even though there was only one other family there.

Poor Gabby:(

Gabby has been sick lately and I just felt something wasn't right. Jason took her to the vet on Tuesday and we found out today that she has kidney disease:( I haven't been able to talk to the vet, but we are going to change her diet and monitor her blood pressure. I hope she will be able to live many more years.

Toothless;)

Kailani lost her fourth tooth yesterday!

This morning when I got in the car to go to work, I realized I had a flat tire! Luckily my car lets me know when air pressure is low. This time it was 16, so I knew something was wrong. It turns out that a screw was in my tire. I took it to the dealer and got a new tire, so it's as good as new. I am starting to think someone is out to get me though. This is the 6th tire I have replaced in the 3 years we've owned the car. There has been a nail, screw, bolt, etc. in my tire 4 times. I feel like it's more than just bad luck. Hopefully the streak is over.

McTeacher's Night

Tonight I volunteered to help Kailani's school with McTeacher's Night at McDonalds. The teachers and the PTO helped behind the counter and sold apples/cookies to raise money for the school.

Fancy Nancy Parade

Today we drove up to Del Mar for a Fancy Nancy parade. We pre-purchased the new Fancy Nancy book, which got us into the VIP reception. The illustrator of the book series talked about how she got the idea for the Nancy character. Then, we paraded around Del Mar. Those who attended the VIP reception got to have ice cream and cookies, make jewelry, and meet the illustrator. We love children's book events!
 

 

Healthy Kids Day

Today we went to the Healthy Kids Day event at the Otay Ranch Mall. We participated in a family boot camp challenge hosted by the YMCA. There were lots and lots of booths with games and giveaways. The kids each got a new helmet.

I got to spend the evening with some of the Chula Vista East moms for a game of Bunco. I was the big winner, with the most Buncos. I went home with $60!

Friday Fun

Unfortunately I had to take my car into the dealer again today. The air conditioning wasn't working again (I had it fixed in October). The same part broke this time, but in the rear instead of the front. It was an expensive fix, but I was able to save $100 with the military discount. It's too bad I didn't know about the military discount before today.
Jason took a detour to the Lego Store on the way home from the dealer. They were going to "look," but I should have known they couldn't do that. They came home with two bags full of Legos!
