Anyway we stayed around the house this weekend just relaxing and unwinding. Jiji and Baba picked up Rose early Saturday morning to join them for a walk in the par with Bell. While Rosie was out Nao and I cleaned up the house a bit. What fun!! Jiji and Baba brought some lunch back with them so we ate a bit together. Then we did a little shopping. Nao had to pick some things up, because Rose is going to start daycare tomorrow! It'll be Rosie's first day of school ever! Nao had prepare a whole bunch of stuff: towels, blankets, garbage bags... I don't know, but Japanese schools are very demanding! The school is a really nice new building nearby to our house. We're hoping Rose will get to make some new friends while she's there. There's no other little kids around us! We're surrounded by old people! Old People!
I found a really cool little popsicle maker thingy at the store too. So I made cookies and cream ice pops for dessert. Hey, just mix some oreo cookies with vanilla ice cream and viola! You've got yourself a tasty treat! (I made an apple juice pop for Rose too!)
Then we went to Karaoke! There has always been this little out of the way karaoke place near our house. But I never went to it because I always thought it wouldn't have any good songs in English. But boy was I wrong! They had almost anything and everything. THE BEST PART: 4 dollars for an hour. Plus you can bring anything you want to drink yourself. They had some soft drinks for sale too. So we had coke and apple juice. Rose loved singing together with us. Her favorite songs were Under the Sea and Winnie the Pooh. It was a blast!!
Today we took Rose to the park again to meet up for a walk with Jiji and Baba for a walk with Bell again. It's a really nice park with a lake in the center and a tower. Why a tower? Who knows.... I think Japanese people just like towers. (But I really think it's because or local govn't is in cahoots with the construction biz, so they pay tons of money to the construction companies to build stuff that nobody really needs... Hmmm?) Rose had a blast again. She loves chasing Bell around screaming, 'BEEEELLLLLEEEE! BBBBBEEEELLLLLEEEE!'
On a side note Nao and I are in BIG TROUBLE now. Rose has learned how to say please. 'PLEASE'.... She can also say ELMO.... ALL we hear everyday is ELMO PLEASE! ELMO PLEASE!! Then when Elmo is over she'll say, 'ONE MORE, ONE MORE, ONE MORE!!!!!'
