I spent so much time last month talking about Japan, I neglected to write about what went on during May. Here are a few snippets:
We went to Taste of Anaheim. We were able to buy BOGO tickets from The Fish. Kids under 5 were free, so we thought we should bring them along. This was the first time we went to the event at the GardenWalk. Let's just say the set-up was not conducive to bringing two kids in a wagon. (Way too crowded). It should've been called Taste of Meat & Hamburgers. The standout was a new restaurant, called The Ranch. D really liked the lamb and I liked the panna cotta with blueberries and pistachios.
We also went to Tanaka Farms for the strawberry tour with my moms' group. This time we went on a Saturday, so dads could come too. D ate 22 strawberries during the 15 minute free-for-all.
I also painted our water closet, aka "toilet room". The entire inside of our house came painted in what I call a "bandaid" color, which I am not a fan of. I've never really painted before, so I wanted to start out in an inconspicuous place of our house. I color matched Olympic Premium no-VOC paint to Benjamin Moore's Stonington Gray at Lowe's. I don't have after pictures, but here is a work in progress pics:
We also a did a large item pickup and had CC&R haul away our crib (we didn't want to give it away since drop-sides are now illegal), a huge HEAVY filing cabinet that came with our garage, along with some miscellaneous items.
We have yet to buy a new bed for k (n will sleep in k's toddler bed), so this is n's new sleeping arrangement: his crib mattress on the floor. Actually, both k and n have been sleeping on a blanket on the floor ever since we went camping, but that will be another post.
