Mommy's Birthday

Today was Mommy's birthday so we celebrated by doing a whole bunch of things with Grace.

First we went to Pump It Up for a play date with Grace's friend Natalie. It's a big room filled with giant inflatable stuff to play on and lots of obnoxious kids who aren't my own.

We also ran into Grant who is another friend from day care.

Next we went to the mall to go to The Painted Penguin where Grace painted a dog.



Here is her final masterpiece.

Then, after a quick trip to the bookstore, we went out to dinner at a Hanakawa where Grace ate quite a bit.

Grace started eating with chopsticks...



...then proceeded to eat with her hands.


Eating a really big noodle.


Grace liked looking at the fish in the lobby. The water is so shallow in the pond that the fat fish in the bottom of the picture was always sticking halfway out of the water.
