マディソン歌を歌うの巻き/Madison Singing

やっと２、３週間前に撮ったこのとーってもかわいいマディソンが歌を歌っているビデオを載せる順番が来ました...：）

Finally we are getting around to post these super cute videos of Madison singing about a few weeks ago...:-)

まずキラキラ星の歌を歌い始めるマディソン...でもイッチービッチースパイダーに...そしてウィールズオンザバスゴラウンドエンドラウンドで...：）

Madison starts off singing Tinkle tinkle little star... then Itsy bitsy spider... then The Wheels on a bus go round and round..:-)

まだ３曲目の歌を歌っています...

Still singing The Wheels on a bus go round and round...

未だに何の歌を歌っているのかわからないけど、元気よく歌っている...

Right now I can't figure out what she is singing but she still is going strong...

謎の歌をまだ歌っています...そして最後に鼻かみ休憩でお歌の時間終了!

Continuing to sing the mystery song... then finally a strong finish with a blowing nose break!

１１月にクリスマスパレード!?/Christmas Day Parade in November!?

先週の土曜日にディズニーランドに行った時何とその日にクリスマスデイパレードを録画している野を知ってビックリ!!いつもその日に生放送だと思って観ていたのに...：(マライアキャリーの夫のニックキャノンが司会を務めるらしい...この日はたまたまカリフォルニアアドベンチャーへ先に行ったから真っ先にディズニーランドに来ていたら全部のパレードが観れていたのかも...

Last Saturday we went to the Disneyland and when we got to the park we found out they had been taping the Christmas Day Parade that day!!! We couldn't believe it!! So either the whole thing is on tape or part of it is but still don't understand the reasoning behind it... Can't they get enough people to come see the parade on the actual Christmas day!? Weird! But we were able to enjoy last bit of the parade and Nick Cannon apparently will be hosting the show...:-) Really wish we didn't stop by California Adventure first...

白いスーツを来ているのがニックキャノン...：）

You can find Nick Cannon here in his white tux...:-)

パレードの最後の方...

The parade...

パレードをもう少し...

Some more of the parade...

まだパレード...

Little more of the parade...

マディソンがパレードを指差しているところ...

Madison pointing the parade...

パレードの後パラパラ落ちている紙を拾いながら音楽に合わせてお尻を振っているマディソン...：）そして２、３秒見失う親達...

After the parade Madison was enjoying picking up the confetti stuff as she wiggles her hip to the beat...:-) Then we loses her for a second or so...

私の誕生日!!/My(Anna) Birthday!!

皆さんも知っての通り私の誕生日は先週の水曜日でした。絶対誰も知らないと思っていたので仕事の人たちから誕生日カードを貰った時にはビックリ、そしてお昼はリトル東京にあるとってもおいしいお寿司屋さんへ連れて行ってもらいました...：）私は久しぶりにちらし寿司を頼みました...おいし〜！そして、デザートに特別に誕生日スペシャルで登場したのは豪華なデザートの盛り合わせ、抹茶のムース、カボチャのアイスクリーム、カボチャのロールケーキ、リンゴのタルトとバニラアイス！

As you probably know my birthday was last Wednesday and I was genuinely surprised my co-workers found out my birthday and surprised me by designing this birthday card and taking me out for lunch at this amazing Sushi place in Little Tokyo...:-) I got Chirashi which has a bunch of different sashimi over rice... Yum! They even ordered me a special birthday dessert which turned out to be on the house which was just amazing! There was Green Tea Mouse, Pumpkin Ice Cream, Pumpkin Roll Cake, and Apple Tart with Vanilla Ice Cream, all sooo delicious!

そしてお昼の後仕事に戻ると待っていたのはデイブが特別に送ってくれたこのかわいいワンちゃんの花：）

Then when we got back to the office I had this super cute Puppy Cupcake flower waiting for me from my sweet husband:-)


そして、仕事の後帰宅するとマディソンが誕生日おめでとうの歌を歌って迎えてくれました、そして誕生日のアイスクリームケーキの登場！

As soon as I walked through the door Madison welcomed me with her cute Happy Birthday song! then she sang it again when the birthday ice cream cake appeared!

デイブと話し合って今年のお互いへの誕生日プレゼントはディズニーランドの年間パスにしようと決めていたんだけど、もちろん優しい伊デイブは私が何か空けれるようにちょっとしたアナスイの物を用意してくれていました

...：）ありがとねー！

Dave and I agreed we are going to give each other the annual pass to Disneyland this year as our birthday presents, but of course he still wanted me to have something to open on my birthday and got me a few things from Anna Sui...:-) Super Sweet! Thank you baby:-)

ボーナス！シーツの中でかくれんぼ中の大人っぽいマディソン...：）

Bonus! Madison looking super grown up under a sheet...:-)

BIG Halloween Day!! Part2.../ハロウィーンの日!! パート２...

Around 6 o'clock we headed out for Trick or Treat!! We met up with the Mooney's in a neighborhood right by Dave's college(CSULB) that's supposed to be known for family friendly neighborhood... At first no one was there and not many houses were decorated so I was starting to feel doubts, but then we were walking into the neighborhood and we started to see tons and tons of kids trick or treating...:-) Madison and Liam quickly got the system down and they were not afraid to go knock on stranger's doors, but I think Liam was more brave and took a lot of initiative banging on doors for Madison like a brave fire fighter so that was very sweet...:-)

６時頃デイブの大学院の近くにある住宅でムーニー家と待ち合わせをして、トリックオアトリートの開始！最初は全然ガラーンとしていた近所もどんどん子供達でいっぱいに：）マディソンは消防士のリアムが一緒にいてくれたお陰で勇気が出たのか二人で戸をノックして回りました...

We planned on the Snow White dress but she wanted to wear the Belle dress again... but she kept it on the entire time so that was a big relief!

白雪姫のドレスを計画していたんだけどベルのドレスを着たがったマディソン、一回も脱ぎたがらずに着ててくれたのでパパとママは大満足でした！

Checking out their very first treat...:-)

お菓子一つ目を確認しているマディソン...：）

These must be hand made ghosts... Pretty cool!

手作りのお化け...なるほどこれは良いアイデア!!

Two very brave trick or treaters...

二人で勇気を出してトリックオアトリート...

I'm not sure if this is the video where Madison gets tricked by Liam and starts saying "Apple treat!!" instead of Trick or Treat!! but super cute nonetheless!

このビデオがそうか思い出せないけど、途中からリアムに惑わされてアップルトリート!!と言うようになってしまったマディソン...　でもかわいさはかわらないけど大丈夫!

BOO!!

ブー!!

The four witch ladies had this photo area set up for the trick or treat families so we took advantage of that for sure! Madison was really into pumpkins this year:-)

魔女のおばさん達が写真撮り場所を用意してくれていたので、早速使わせてもらいました：）

Madison and I had to do a lot of this and at the end we had to trick or treat for some tissues as we ran out of our non-soaked tissues...

私とマディソンはこればかりしなきゃいけなかったので、最後には乾いたティッシュが切れてしまいました...

This house was really nicely decorated and the kiddies could not take their eyes off the talking magic ball skull...:-)

この家はハロウィン屋敷で子供達はこの喋るガラスのボールに呆然...：）

I could not believe I did not take a picture of it for the record but we actually took Ellie with us and she did great... Her poopy bag actually came in handy to transfer so many of Madison's candies she got as they got pretty heavy for Madison to carry around...:-) All in all it was a very successful Halloween for the Kleins and can't wait for the next year...:-)

写真をすっかり撮るのを忘れてしまったんだけど、エリーも一緒に今夜来たんです...　エリーのうんち用の袋(未使用)も余分なお菓子と飴を入れるのに大活躍です...：）

BIG Halloween Day!! Part1.../ハロウィーンの日!!パート１...

Halloween started with a parade at Madison's school. Anna was able to take off early from work and make it for the 3pm start...I made a mad dash out of work when the final bell rang at 2:47 and sprinted into Madison's preschool just in time to usher her through the parade thanks to Anna stalling as long as she could.

Madison ready to parade...we were so worried she wouldn't keep her dress on as her track record hadn't been the best, but school Madison seems to be quite a sensei pleaser so she gladly put and kept on her dress...
ハロウィーンの日マディソンの学校で仮装パレードがあったのでアンナは仕事を早退して３時の開始に間に合う様に到着...僕は２時４７分の学校終了のベルと同時に車へダッシュ、あと１っ分待ってと校長先生に頼んでくれたアンナのお陰でギリギリ到着マディソンの手を繋いでパレードに参加する事が出来ました...いつもドレスを着る度に直ぐ脱ぎたがるマディソン、大丈夫かなーと心配していたんだけどビックリする事に問題なく着続けてくれました...

Snack time, still waiting for daddy to arrive...
おやつを食べている所、パパはまだ到着する様子が無い...

Parade time!! Madison's Guppies class got to go first:-)
パレードの時間!!マディソンは年少さんなので最初に出発：）

After the parade wound through the school we ended up in back play area where they had set-up a nice hay patch...
パレード派学校の中を通って裏庭にある遊具園で終了...

Madison looked to make a get-a-way...
車に乗って逃げようとしているプリンセスベル...

But we captured her and found a classmate parent to take a picture for us in the patch...
マディソンを捉まえて近くに居たお友達のお母さんに家族写真を撮ってもらいました...

Madison "bunnying-up"...family joke, but the really big Friends fans might get the reference...
マディソンの“バニーアップ”...家族の中で今流行っているシャレなんだけどフレンズのファンの人なら分かるかな...

Belle in the patch...
かぼちゃばたけにいるプリンセスベル...

Still playing...
まだ遊んでる...

We were ready to go home a lot earlier but Madison kept wanting to play longer...
ずっと前に家に帰る予定でいたんだけど、マディソンは楽しそうに遊び続けている...
Madison holds the pumpkin she decorated in class a secret...
学校で飾ったマディソンのかぼちゃを抱きしめて...

There it is on her head...
かぼちゃ頭...

Still on her head...
まだ頭に乗ってる...

Another art projects... These are all Madison's work!
これは全部学校で作った芸術の数々！

ハロウィンパーティー２！/Halloween Party#2!

土曜日の夜は教会に行く家族友達と集まって怖くないハロウィンパーティーに行って来ました...ポットラック用に焼きそばを作ってデザートには芋虫グミを使って作った土ケーキ...美味しそうに出来たでしょ：）
On Saturday a bunch of families from Studebaker Church got to together at the Borland's house for a not scary Halloween Party... We were supposed to bring one savory dish and one dessert so I made Yakisoba(Pan-fried noodles) and Dirt Worm Trifle and both turned out very good:-)

ディズニーランドから３分しか離れた所に住んでいるボーランド家がパーティーのホストだったんだけど、高速の出口がディズニーランドと同じでそこの直ぐ近くに来ていると気づいたマディソンに今夜はそこに行かないんだよーって言うのが辛かった〜！そして、ボーランド家に無事に着いたのは良いものの他のお友達が変装しているのを見るなり泣き出してしまったマディソン、何でだろう？そして、もちろん直ぐに自分のドレスを脱ぎたがってしまいがっかり...でもその後少しするとミラクルでまたドレスを着てくれたので写真とビデオを撮る事が出来ました!!
We arrived at their house in Anaheim, they literally live 3 blocks from the Disneyland so when we took the same exact exit to go to their house we had to break it to the very excited Madison, who knew exactly where she was, that we were going to her friend, Bridgette's house for a party instead... What we did not expect to see once at their house was that Madison kind of freaked out that all her friends were in their costumes and looked somewhat different... Weird... and of course she wanted to take her dress off...:-( Then once we took her dress off we couldn't be recognized as the dwarfs so we took our hats and beards off and Dave's fake belly out... BUT at some point she agreed to put her dress back on so that was nice and we were able to take some cute pictures and videos for you to enjoy!!

パーティーの最初の方の写真...マディソンは何処かで泣き叫んでいる途中...
Early group photo...Madison is around the corner bawling her eyes out...

子供達が出来るゲームを計画してくれたボーランド家...爪楊枝で葉っぱを引っ掻いて綺麗なデザインを作っている所...
Our hostess was creative with games for the kids...here they scratched a leaf to create a colorful design...

そして、２番目のゲームはキャンディーコーンをスプーンの上に乗せて落とさない様に運ぶ事...
Then they carried candy corn across the yard in a teaspoon...

とっても上手に運んでいるマディソン、まだ３っつもスプーンに乗ってる...
Madison was doing awesome with three candy corn still in her spoon...

でも帰って来る途中１っ個１っ個とマディソンの口の中に消えて行ってしまった...：）
Then she began to eat them all...before arriving back...:-)

そして、夕食の後にもう一つのゲーム、トイレットペーパーをミイラの様に体に巻き付けながら宝の券を見つけまーす：）写真で今日のブログはお終い、お終い...
Finally they gathered around to wrap toilet paper around themselves until they found a prize sticker...no dress here :-)
