| | last night both slept better. gege got up to feed one time around 1:30, and slept till 6:30, that's normal for him if he's not sick. didi got up around 1 and 5, but went back to sleep after drinking milk, and slept till 6:30 as well. that's usually a good night. so, all of us got great sleep. I am not very picky at all. I can function through the day and work WELL if it was like this everyday. but it isn't. cuz some days, they could get up and just hang out for 2 hours, laughing and playing or crying, WHILE we are trying to sleep. So, we are thankful for good nights.
this morning, after they played, we took them to Torrance. Funky took KT to Huntington Beach to watch a surfing competition and also surfed a little as well, and we just stayed home to hang out with her parents. Gege and did were super nice today, you can tell cuz they had great rest so they played well, without fuss. Gege's smile was back, it's great seeing that smile back.
around 1:30, they started tipping over, falling everywhere, getting hurt, those are the signs that they are tired, so, we packed them in the car, and drove out. that's usually how they fall asleep when we are out to Torrance, cuz the grandparents' house is so different to them, they just want to touch everything and look at everything, so no way to sleep there. Today. we drove to redondo and took pictures of cool house colors we saw. We found quite a few houses that kind of looked the same, kind of like all the mansions in Arcadia, they all looked different, but kind of the same, but different, can't really explain it.
here are the few cool ones we saw. all pictures taken with our cellphone.
this one has wood panels everywhere, great color, but we won't be able to afford it. must be expensive. like the contrast to the trims and garage door.
this one will be pretty close to our front, a huge porch. I specifically asked the architect to draw that in. But love the green with dark green.
blue with white, great idea.
this one with a cool porch, and a cool stair case to go into it.
these are the more modern looking ones, kind of the same, kind of not, all with WOOD garage doors! really necessary? these have arches and pillars.
   
afterwards, we drove by a starbucks, got a java chip frap to share, (thanks to the gift cards from my students, or else, I'll be too cheap to go) and a cup of water, I always ask for the cup of water, cuz the drink is always too sweet for me, so I have to wash it down or I'll feel too guilty for ingesting so many empty calories. I brought my ipod touch, got to the log in screen, and the babies started crying, so I didn't get to test to see if it actually worked.
we got back to her parents, and went to swim there. I am trying to teach the twins how to blow air in the water, but so far, no success, instead of blowing, they swallowed a few mouthful of water, so we had to stop.
I like coming to Torrance, cuz everyone wants to hold the kids, so we got 4 more pairs of hands to handle the kids, KT, grandma, and engel's parents, and today, Funky was there too, so 5 more pairs of eyes to watch them while they walked around outside, 5 more pairs of hands to hand them to when tired, so I like it, I really appreciate coming here.
