This week was busy. Gus started school, so I spent a couple of hours there on the first day and meeting his teacher later in the week. Also the holiday! I kept thinking I wasn’t getting enough done, but there was less time than usual, duh me.<\/p>\n

Today we had dumplings + shave ice<\/a> for lunch, yum. For shave ice flavors I had plain coconut (because I’m boring like that), Gus had lemon + lime w\/condensed milk, and Jonathan had passion fruit + green tea w\/vanilla ice cream.<\/p>\n

Last night we (=parents) watched “Everything is Illuminated,” which was really good. Tonight we (=family) watched “Pokemon: The First Movie.” It was not<\/i> really good, and I hope it is Pokemon: my last movie. But I’d been crabby about the netflix subscription for a while because it seemed like we were letting movies hang out forever, so watching is good.<\/p>\n

Why do we have so much stuff? Certainly we could have far less. Today was deal-with-Gus’s-room day, and a whole pile of little kid stuff, outgrown stuff, cheapo plastic birthday party favor stuff and random broken stuff was gotten rid of. Plus I finally went through the big pile o’ 1st grade stuff (that I’d been avoiding all summer) AND the big pile o’ kindergarten stuff (that I’d been avoiding for over a year!). It’s incredible how much paper these kids come home with, it’s like 1 linear foot per grade. No one has enough room in their home archives for that!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
