Christmas cake

Here's Pinga's sister and the kids cutting the cake. Pinga's sister made a cake that is similar to black forrest cake.

Feeding goats and sheep

They stayed at mini zoo for about three hours. Last activity was to feed carrots to animals. Goats and sheep love carrots and very eager to eat them. The zoo staff told Pings carrots are treats for them as they don't usually get them.

Guinea pig petting

They went to petting zoo. There were goats, sheep, pony, rabbits and guinea pigs. They could pet guinea pigs like this. QP-chan had Chiffon and Coco-chan had  Cush. Chiffon was active and Cush was calm.

Strawberries

As Coco-chan wanted to eat strawberries, Pinga's mom bought them for the kids. They enjoyed them a lot.

Swinging twins

It was cold but very sunny. So they went to a playground. QP-chan doesn't need help but Coco-chan needs Pings to push from behind.

Seesaw twins

It's almost a routine to go to playground with twins. 

Hmm, what to buy?

Pinga thought it really looks like Coco-chan was checking out ads to see what to buy.

Dog lover QP-chan

QP-chan and Pinga went to playground as Coco-chan didn't want to go out again. On the way home, they met this cute Shiba Inu, Yuzu. She was very well behaving and QP-chan and Pinga fell in love with her.

Mask twins

Pinga bought cute kids masks for twins. They wore them to the playground.

Oh no, shark!

The shark are my hand! says Coco-chan with smiley face. Self quarantine period lasts for two weeks so twins are playing at home.

Cats guarding?

When Momo-chan was about to leave for school, they were at the entrance like this.

Twins dance finale

It was the last round of twins dance lesson so families got to see what they have been learning. They've shown different kinds of dances such as swing, samba, polka, etc. Good job kids!

Good morning Ines

Here's just woke up sleepy QP-chan saying hi to Ines. She is wearing clothes as she had an operation yesterday.

Vision check for Coco-chan

Coco-chan had to do the vision check again as it was unclear if he has good enough vision from the previous check at four-year-old check up. The nurse said he couldn't sometimes tell H or T so she will contact eye doctor so that they could call him for further check.

Carry me = Dakko shite

On the way back home from daycare, Coco-chan asked Pinga to carry him. Then QP-chan said I can do that! So here is QP-chan carrying Coco-chan. But it was maybe just five seconds or so.

Cozy cats

Simba and Ines like to be together. They were sleeping like this on the sofa in the evening.

Momo-chan and Coco-chan were wearing matching Minion pajamas. They noticed that and started to dance together. Here's the link to the movie.

Coco-chan was at monthly checkup with pediatrician this morning. He has less symptoms now but still gets occasional pain and rash. He is so used to hospital visits and got compliments by the doctor for handling it well.

Gingerbreads in the oven

All the kids helped out making gingerbread this morning. They were all looking into the oven and eager to try them.

Getting ready for Christmas

Twins wanted to try their Christmas themed outfits. QP-chan wants to wear gingerbread girl outfit too.

Let's paint!

While Momo-chan was out in the nature with scout, twins wanted to paint. They did good job drawing and colouring their pictures.

It was snowing Thursday evening and Momo-chan and Coco-chan started to play outside. QP-chan also joined for snowman making. Twins were frustrated as they couldn't do it so well like Momo-chan.

Penguin walk Coco-chan

Coco-chan was walking like a penguin on his way to daycare.

His questions in the morning was: Where are all these items at home come from? Chairs, plates, mugs, toys, etc.

So they were talking about furniture factory, ceramic factory, etc.
