Happy 10th Birthday to Amy!

Woke up, went to work, then went uptown.  Bought a card and a gift for Amy's birthday and had lunch with Josh at Phan Shin.  The food's OK. I wasn't super hungry though. Beautiful day.  Then wandered for a little bit before Fei, Amy, and Amy's friend showed up so we could watch Toy Story 3.  we LOVED the movie.  The 3 of them cried.  Understandable, it was a very meaningful movie. I am glad it got like a 100% on rottentomatoes! totally worth it. It made me happy.  Then we just hung out at Fei's, played games, ate dinner, random people came over, had cake, then I came home.

I am slowly teaching Luke math.  I realize it is really early but he wanted money so I told him if he cleaned the room and put his toys away (he dumped them EVERYWHERE) he'd get 5 monies (aka 5 pennies).  Before long he'll be upgraded to bigger coins and learn to trade coins (value of diff coins).  We played heads/tails for a while, counted coins, sort of added/subtracted.  He had a ball, it was so funny.  My brother is so cute and he's getting so grown up! Maybe if I get the chance I'm going to buy more storage containers (smaller) and teach him how to organize and buy more big legos and stuff.  He seems to be mature enough to build projects properly now which I am thrilled about.  Hopefully it'll be a lot easier to play! cars, legos, oh joy.  At least the kids at the park like to play with him (maybe more for the like kazillion hotwheel cars he brings...).  But hey, he's learning and he's growing up.

Ah, Amy's growing up.  She is sweet. watching her grow up has been great even if she can has an attitude sometimes but she's a simple enough girl.  She doesn't just wantwantwant.  She didn't really want gifts and a party but she was super polite and showed that she really appreciate gifts and the time we spent with her.

It's been a good day.  I am tired but I am hoping I get a lot done tomorrow.  Mom is gonna do errands so I'm gonna be home w/ Luke.  Should be amusing. I need to clean so badly. so badly.
