On Sunday, I went to Off The Grid while the Etters were in town. We invited a lot of people. The group next to us all had corgis, so I went over. The corgis were very energetic and excited!
On Saturday, I did a pom pom workshop with Aunt Stephanie. I made 4 pom poms and a tassel, which are shown below. I really liked making pom poms and tassels on the Loome tool. Thanks Stephanie!
I went to the APG open house for incoming 6th graders on Sunday. There was boba, face paint, gear for sale, cotton candy and a booth for Mandarin class where Jeff, Elaine and I drew lots of triforces and other Legend of Zelda fan art. Elaine also drew a dragon.
I found a perfect place to sit by Stow Lake with a book. The rocks act as a chair, and I have a good view of the adorable goslings swimming by! I would read all day in my hidden little rock corner.
This weekend, I used the tiny pie pan that Aunt Misha gave me to make my own pie! I had already used the spice and crust mix provided, so I made it from scratch. We are rolling out the tiny pie crust now.
This weekend I did a 500 piece puzzle without help! It's like a bunch of little puzzles, so it wasn't as hard as it could have been. I finished it on Sunday.
I had a great time at the pier in Santa Monica for the second trip-thanks to Nonie and Doc for all the rides and the delicious Bubba Gump lunch! Emma and I only rode the dragon boat 11 times this trip, but we rode a lot of other rides.
At Aunt Stephanie's house this weekend, I dyed sunflowers! We had five sunflowers and we put food coloring in their water.
The blue one was the strongest after a few days.
While I was in Novato with Aunt Stephanie, Uncle Christian and Gramalicia, I missed a rainbow! This picture was taken over the library on Saint Patrick's Day. I think it came to wish my parents luck at the Lobby in Hawaii!
On Pi day I had a video chat with Emma. I wish I was in San Diego with the Nickels now! I hope I can come and visit them soon. I also hope they saved me some pie.
This Sunday we went to Sea Bowl for the annual JPT Christmas party. I won 2 of my 3 games, and I had a great time. I can't wait for next year's March bowling!
Elaine, Priscilla and I all went to garden work day at AP this Saturday. We painted sign backgrounds for the most part.
We also sat on our favorite bench that we always eat lunch at.
On Thursday I went to the Color Factory with Aunt Stephanie, Adrian and Liane. It was super fun! In the first room they had snack macarons to keep up your energy. They had a room with two enormous green markers and I wrote "JADE" with one.
They also had a room filled with ribbons that I got lost in, but I got out eventually.
Since Mimi and Papi are in Sonoma, I made brigadeiros with Mimi like we do every year. They were really good! We chose different sprinkles this year so that they wouldn't melt in our hands when we ate them.
This weekend I went to Monterey. I really liked the aquarium because of all the fish and even some otters that were very cute. On Sunday we got up really early and went to see tide pools during the low tide. We got to see so many little hermit crabs and anemones!
