At the zoo, there are many touchable exhibitions returned! My daughters enjoyed to touch them, compare the size, or feel the tactile sense. They were looking forward to touching also the real porcupine hair, which are very hard, and they d…

My second daughter drew this pic. This is her father😁, and everybody agreed that it's quite similar to him! She doesn't drew people's body, but only legs. It makes her drawings more special.

Because we burried the real one to the park, I bought it instdead of him. I hope it help us away from bees and recall us the real Gin-yanma. And, after I bond its wing to its body with superglue, we'll bring it to the mountain as Oniyanma-…

I bought this Karuta after I saw my X-follower's post. It's very nice! And good for my daughters to feel seasons. This Karuta states 24 seasons with picture card and descriptions. I love the picture's taste.

My daughters drew the Ginyanma, so did I. This is my drawing😉 I couldn't help drawing it because its color was soooooo beautiful. My elder daughter also write the diary with picture and brought it to the school.

We found this big dragonfly at the park, yesterday! It was almost dying, eaten by ants. My daughters tried to save it and brought it to our house. We search the name of the dragonfly at the library (because it's very near from the park) an…

I made this lyric book of Frozen 1&2 for my 6yo daughter. She is addicted in singing Frozen songs these days. Because I bought Frozen songs CDs and we usually listening them in our car and house, she can sing even not famous ones🤭

At Kawa-Sui aquarium, we met the sloth in very short distance!!!! It's forebidden to touch them, but we could see them for a while in only 1m distance. Their clow was soooo sharp and long. In English movies/songs/books, we see about sloth …

We went to "Kawasui" that is an aquarium near Kawasaki-station, and displays only River creatures. It was our first time to go there, so we enjoyed very much. I didn't know the concept of this aquarium, so we expected to see jellyfish or s…

We went to the park, and found a lot of bugs. But we realized that there was no cicada sounds. Instead of cicadas, we found a huge mass of ants. Why were they in line? And why so many ants were on the ground?? We found no clue about it.

2023-09-14

Our (maybe) last watermelon for this season. As you can see, my daughters, eat them until it turns white!!! Since this watermelon was the species that we can eat even seeds, only green & white peel remained.

My elder daughter began to go swimming lessons from this summer. Because I'm not god at swimming, it was helpful for me. I was not so enthusiastic about swimming lesson, but I heard that the primary schools don't teach how to swim so much …
