Memory of Cherry Blossom Season

Sometimes, it is really very convenient to have a husband who is very good at taking pictures.  I can fully enjoy beautiful things around me, freshly, while my husband is busy recording them. Here are some photos he took these 2 weeks.

Now you know why almost all schools in Japan starts their school year in April.

Akie's Visual Plan for Her Disneyland Day

I took my two kids to Tokyo Disneyland last month, during the kids' spring vacation. Akie was so excited when she knew that she could go (even if it would be her 3rd time to Disneyland since last summer) that she took a whole evening to draw her plan.

The title page.


Space mountain is her favorite, which is why she marked it as "1".



Next, she wanted to ride big thunder mountain. Please ignore the spelling :(



Still likes small world.



Unfortunately, we had to change her plan the moment we arrived at Tokyo Disneyland. The waiting time of all the wild mountain roller coasters was above 180 minutes!! Akie had to give up the big thunder mountain. But still we enjoyed a lot!!

One word writing

Akie does not want to write journal. So I let her try the method introduced by this site(http://oneword.com). I gave her 5 minutes to write about "cake". Here is what she wrote.

Dolishis,  
have cando, 
It is dolishis with crim, 
it is good with mandm, 
you can put your faveret thing on it,
there is all cand of flavers,
there is icecrim cake too,
you can rite your naim on it too.

What she really wanted to write, of course, is

Delicious,
have candle.
It is delicious with cream,
it is good with M&M,
you can put your favourite thing on it,
there is all kind of flavors,
there is ice-cream cake too,
you can write your name on it too.


I had to take a few deep breaths before saying "good job"!


Can't believe that I have not post here for about 3 years! and I almost forgot why I stopped blogging. Now I remembered, blogger was blocked in China since 2009.

I am not sure if it is still blocked now. Our family returned back to Japan last year. I hope things are getting better there in China.
