I'll be working throughout my company's holidays - what fun! But there's one good point: it'll be quiet.

Sunday Specials Kenji's pic from the service Millay's pic Wow, what a busy day! I went to church in the morning with my 3 kids. My mother in law came to help, so I could take my kids to the elementary service, she took them to the language school, next was the toddler service and finally the adult service. Despite not knowing Japanese, I attended the Japanese service with the hope of becoming fluent in Japanese by just listening to it ^^ 頑張ります！ Lunch at church - my sons can't be normal Lunch at church with family and friends After the church, we went to a local city office as they were handing out those Japanese beetles (in larva form), so we picked some up. But I ended up staying in the park with my daughter: My daughter loves flowers... picking them :( Next stop was my father in laws company she my mother in law could pick up her bags quickly (she took ages), next was my home so my sons could pick up their bags and finally I br...

Shine carrying, flower festival! My middle son and younger daughter had a festival at their local day care center. It's name is Fujinomi Day care center, Fuji is the name of the flower tree that grows there and they have a big fuji tree in the center of it's garden. Anyway, at first, they marched around the local area shouting and chanting, then they returned, played some drums and ate a meal. My son got angry though and spent some time sulking in the corner, but after a long discussion and negotiation (and a short trip back home), he finally settled down and ate properly. Wow, kids are hard! I tell you what. News Update The biggest event this year has been my 1st son starting elementary school. Here's a pic of him walking back with a close friend: Jayden as a 1st Grader! It's crazy how fast they grow. Also, I spent a day with the 3 kids and brought them to my workplace (stopped by a restaurant). My son being normal I know it's not much fun to v...

On Saturday, I spent the day with my sons and brought them to my regular church. After, we went to a restaurant which had a nice drink bar (they almost milked the thing dry), and moved onto my workplace as I had work to do. I brought some sweets along the way for my sons, as they were complaining, but nothing too unhealthy of course. When I got to my school I own, we went shopping. My youngest son wanted me to buy something but I said no. He then goes onto to negotiate further:     "Since you never brought [that item], you have to buy me some sweets now!" I was personally impressed by the tenacity of this little fellow and I definitely have a heightened respect for him. But, he never got any more sweets or the item. No is no for me. They went onto study English and play UNO. They were good little fellows - good job.

Working today. Teaching English and running my company. I meet my colleague and business partner yesterday. Had a level check and discussed business matters. It was slightly victorious! I can get money from every new person that joins and also the franchise system seems to be more and more concrete.
