• Payton's 4th bday party & La Jolla Shores...

  Ohayo gozaimasu...  How's everyone this morning?  Well, for me...I've had a cool, but winded weekend.

  It was pretty hectic becuz I attended my daughter's classmate's 4th bday party this past Sunday (June 4th).  It was a 'Princess' theme (no, not Disney)

  

  and it was a really nice turn out.  Almost all of my daughter's classmates from her class showed up and this was the first time meeting the children's parents.  It gave me an opportunity to meet & get to know them better.  The house was really nice too and there was a swimming pool.  No, we didn't go swimming or anything but, it was a hontoni nice house.  (all along I thought to myself, 'Ooooohh...I wouldn't mind having a nice pool party with just Takki & Tsu w/a few of my fangirl friends...kyaaaaaaaaaaaa~) LOL  Okokok...so I shouldn't have thot those things while at a child's bday ne?

  Anyway, there was a water game where you had to throw several whiffle balls into various bowls and some bowls were of a different color so, if yours landed in a colored one, you won a prize.

  

  It was neat actually becuz my daughter won two of them.   The prize was one of those sticker-type Princess themes were you take off a part of a piece of the drawing and pour glitter powder onto the sticky part.  So, you can make a design out of using the various shades of powders.  It's hard to explain but it's really cute.  Plus, it gave me more time to spend quality time with my daughter too.

  The host of the party even rented a jump-thingie for the kids! O_O  I was all, WHOA~

  

  

  How many kids are supposed to show up to this bday anyway??  It was hilarious but fun watching all the children slide on that thing.  There was even a tunnel they could crawl into once on the other side.  We had a tough time getting my daughter out when it was time to go home.   If it was me and I was her age again, I think I probably wouldn't wanna go home either. lol

  There was cake & ice cream, and even hitting the pinata! ^_^ 

  

  

  It's a Spanish or Mexican tradition with birthdays were a child will pull on a string and see which string that gets pulled, candy will fall out.  If you pulled on the string and nothing comes out in return, you'd lose.  But, it wasn't a game anyway.  Everyone here just does it for fun and pulls on the strings at the same time.  In this particular case, when everyone pulled on the string, nothing happened! lol  There was only one string left to pull and the bday girl got to pull it.  Even then, nothing happened!  It was quite funny.  The bday girl's mother had to stick her hand way inside in order for the candy to fall out.  There was a LOT of candy to go around so every child had a share of the candy (and then some!).  My daughter brought home mostly taffy candy.  (how funny and I dun like taffy much either...><)

  Then, we all sang 'Happy Birthday' to the bday girl.  She was such a sweet girl.  Toward the end of it all, poor things...the children ended up getting so sleep-deprived and tired, winey, and at the same time, still full of energy.

  And it was still so nice that the bday girl ended up readily taking pictures with my daughter.  The photoshot ended up being one of my favorite photos at the end of the day.  (doesn't my daughter look 'wasted'? lol)

  

  After the party ended, we headed for La Jolla Shores to the beach for some sand-fun with her sand toys.  It was new from Toys R Us and she wanted to try it out.

  

  It was a cloudy day, but nonetheless, at least it wasn't sunny where we ended up cooking/baking in the hot sun either.  It was really nice spending quality time with family and made for a nice end to our day.  By the time we went home, we were all exhausted. lol

  But...but.  You wouldn't BELIEVE what I saw once we started hitting home.  I came across the Lamborghini San Diego dealership showroom!!!!

  

  

  OMG, I swear I immediately thot of T&T and that Channel@ vid clip when I saw the place right in front of me while waiting at the stop light.  I asked my hubby if he could pull over the side so I could take pictures.  He did and I ended up taking two pix.   Coolness!  Even tho you probably can't really tell much from these small pix, still. =D  Gomen...these pix were all taken from my keitai.  I DO NOT have a digital camera yet, as my dinosaur of a camera ended up breaking on me.  I SO need an Olympus SLR digital camera BIG TIME.

  Anyway, enjoy these pix...even tho it ain't much but, thot I'd post some up anyway.  Enjoy and hope your weekend was super!

  Jya...matta ne~
