I had to run after Ichigo after she forgot something for school. I just made it, but it left me sweating! If only I had realized earlier!

If you go shopping when you're hungry you tend to buy more food than you need!

Kid's summer vacation is over so Papa has to take over walking Max again. I guess the walks aren't as long now!

A red dragon fly flew by as I was cleaning this morning! It just shows that summer is far from over yet!

I'm making accessories with Ichigo. I remember making accessories when I was Ichigo's age too!

The kids have gone to the park to catch crickets. Oh look!... there's a rhinoceros beetle in the garden!

Kids are doing their homework. Ichigo is drawing morning glory, Ringo is trying to draw sprouts just from memory!

Ringo was up early catching beetles! Some of them are pretty big too! Kids love to catch them!

Ichigo and Ringo are preparing for Camp. I hope they can fit everything into their rucksacks.

It's almost Obon holiday! Obon is a Japanese religious custom to pray for the family's ancestors. We're all off to Papa's home town for a few days.
