6/27 - 7/3/2022

6/27 - Monday

When we were packing, we warned the girls they might not be able to fit their stuffies. After I packed, Ella checked her backpack and excitedly yelled "I have a lot of room for my stuffies, MIMI we have room for stuffies." Ella ran to grab Mimi, after a while they both came back with all their stuffies, and confirmed they both had space in their backpacks. Mimi burried her face in mew and tun and said "we love our stuffies", and continued to stuff all their stuffies in their backpacks. I decided it was ok to take them since they loved their stuffies so much.

The girls were so excited about plane taking flight! They slept well and behaved so well <3 



 

6/28 - Tuesday

As soon as we arrived we all wanted to nap. The girls had a choice to sleep together or in separate rooms. When I checked on Ella she was already cuddling her tun. I kissed her cheek, and she said "tell Amelia I want to sleep in the same bed." I said I would tell her, then she said "no tell her tonight, I mean I want to sleep in the same bed tonight". Mimi came in soon after, asked Ella if there was space, Ella scooted and Mimi crawled in, followed by Jam. I went to the adult bed and had a good nap.

Had a non argumentative chat with Omer, shrug, I hope we really don't need to have 10 days per sprint of work.

Michigan is not setup for work :'( ended up working in the tiny office in the restaurant, smelling smoke and flies crawling on my head. Oh well the life of no vacation.

At night Ella said to Mimi "I want to sleep in the same bed. I made a mistake, I want to sleep together." Mimi happily went with her. 


6/29 - Wednesday

Had a good snuggle with Ella in the morning, no bullying, lots of puffing and cheeking <3

Reorg, Omer is gone! But does that mean we’re (me in particular with less skills..) in more danger :,)? and where will new moderation people come from?


7/1 - Friday

Yay off work for 7 days \ToT/ 

Chocolate shake was satisfying. 

Museum was big. And had a view of Seattle :o

We went through the mirror maze. The girls went in the front. Jam was sure they were walking back to the entrance and kept reminding them. I lost track while taking video. We popped out, it was the exit! Jam was dazed for few seconds, looking around, and we confirmed it was indeed not the same room that we came in :O


Girls did their homework quickly (with some tantrum but quickly), and proceeded to have lots of TV and game time, while Jam and I chilled.

Yay LT for new single job retry dataflow, Ichigo unblocked and released \ToT/


7/2 - Saturday

The girls have infinite energy! Long walk to and from the aquarium, long walk in the aquarium itself, and wild running at the beach. Back at hotel, a shower, some TV, then wild running in the room.  




Arms too stubby to pet stingray :') But they did get to pet other big fishes.


Until they passed out. (Mimi's not actually passed out, but was resting like this)


7/3 - Sunday

90 degrees :O 

Last minute beach.

1/24 Monday Received email last night the girls had close contact at the Y and need to quarantine T_T Thankfully Jam doesn't mind taking a few days off. Small upside is not having to force the kids to bed before midnight (they stayed up till 12:30) or wake them up early. The whole evening was spend recording Chinese new year greetings. Lots of takes and some mom tantrums later, we had cute footage! Sent to Jam's parents too. Good job me! 1/25 Tuesday Took the kids for the evening again since Jam took them for the whole day. Good job Jam! Got back to doing a little extra reading with the kids - have been doing only Spong homework since beginning of the year. 1/26 Wednesday Got covid result back within 24 hours :o Stuffed kids back in school. Y wouldn't take them back until next week though T_T Happily planned with jam: I'll pick up the kids and he'll take them till dinner time. He made sure I added an alarm for 3:40 and would aim to arrive early for pickup. Got a cal...

 2/21 - Monday After 11 iterations of taking different parameters out, finally stumbled upon the fix to Dagger injection with Tatsuya's confirmation (I'd have kept going trying to fix the param, but turned out I can just remove it :o). Caught LT online too, they do work overtime :') Parents left when I was showering, I caught them at the end of shower and shouted goodbye, James assured me that they did shout goodbye back to me. I started to encourage the kids to check their own work. After Mimi did her math sheet, I asked her to check her work before giving to me. I went to the bathroom. Came back and found Ella checking Mimi's work. Mimi sat close to her and was twirling a pen. After a bit Ella pronounced Mimi's work all correct, I confirmed.    Ella was grumpy when playing lego, but calmed down and told me a story after some petting. We had free play time towards the end of the day, so I started a drawing video with Ella. It was a cherry tree. After drawing some b...

6/6 - Monday The 25 questions of Iowa turned into an hour! Ella was a trooper and did very well. She got frustrated after reading a 4 line question and don't know the answer. I encouragement her to read again, 3 or 4 times if needed. She read again, cracked a big smile and said "oh this is the answer". She got it right.  She did get frustrated again a few times, but recovered after I reminded her it's normal to read multiple times. One time she explained to me, for the question "if someone got a hole in one, what equipment did they use": you can't use a ball to hit a ball, and this bat looks like the one from 小猪佩奇。 She got the right golf club. 6/7 - Tuesday When I picked up the girls from Ruyi, she commented on how beautiful their hair is. She asked how I washed them every day, I revealed I don't XD  When we walked back home, Ella asked to play outside, but Mimi didn't want to. Ella asked me to play with her, luckily Jam was already home to watch...
