Seeing that fulfillment on her face after she made that "mommy and little girl dragonfly" made me realized that we should make time for arts and crafts with our kids. It's one of the many ways we can encourage them to be more creative and also have quality time at the same time. </span><br />

Grannyba wants to have a day with us. We were supposed to go in Ginza but she thought it would be more fun for Azumi if we go to Harajuku instead. <br />
<br />
So here, Azumi was waiting for Tiya to say goodbye before we go to see her grannyBa. <br />

<br />
This street is packed with footwear, clothing and accessories stores, restaurants, dessert shops, coffee shop, and a lot more of goods stores.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
Lots of affordable stuffs<br />
<br />

<br />
I was feeling like a tourist for taking photos but this lady covered her face when she noticed I was about to take a picture of her. <br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
So I stopped. Besides, most stores has "no photos" signs at the entrances. Which I think is not making sense because this street is one the tourist spots of Tokyo. <br />
<br />
Anyhow, Azumi was enjoying the leisure walk. <br />
<br />

<br />
Having seen a lot of cute diy halloween costumes in Pinterest last year, I'm not so into idea of buying one for Azumi anymore since they are not cheap. You can easily spend ¥3000~ and up on a kids' costume, ¥5000~up if you buy online. The styles are so limited that you end up having the same costume with the schoolmates. <br />
<br />
Last year, at Azumi's school, princess costumes were popular for girls. There were Rapunzels, Belle, Aurora, Ariel, Snow white, Cinderella... Name it! ^ ^ <br />
<br />
Since Azumi wanted to have a princess costume as well, I recycled her witch black dress costume worn the previous year (when she was in Pre-B), and unlashed that crafty side of me. <br />
<br />
Here is my inspiration from Pinterest. <br />
<br />
<br />

<a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/bambiemandani/KawaiiprincessMe#5936984345821930754"><img border="0" height="281" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-_KJbXH004Jw/UmRnzpnFZQI/AAAAAAAACd0/zLG6J63kbns/s288/1382310055.963195.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" width="186" /></a></center>
<br />
<br />
This is what I came up with 2 sleepless nights ^ ^<br />
<br />
<b>DIY Queen of Hearts costume </b><br />
<br />
<center>
<a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/bambiemandani/KawaiiprincessMe#5936984392358632786"><img border="0" height="281" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-kl94TQfICus/UmRn2W-THVI/AAAAAAAACd8/fcfKPWaovpg/s288/1382309611.605985.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" width="210" /></a></center>
<br />
<br />
And here is the <b>Princess of Hearts</b><br />
<br />
<br />
<center>
<a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/bambiemandani/KawaiiprincessMe#5936984434043005010"><img border="0" height="281" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-1CuEaKcPUTk/UmRn4yQoKFI/AAAAAAAACeE/c4h_AemeOpc/s288/1382310073.180023.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" width="210" /></a></center>
<br />
<br />
I forgot to blog about this costume.<br />
<br />
Nevertheless, this year I decided to unleash again the crafty side of me. I think these diy inspirations are cute and easy to make for your little girls. You might get ideas too. <br />
<br />
<b>Native American Costume</b><br />
<br />
I love this one. You can use brown tulle, or fabrics, cheap leathers or felt, and feathers. <br />
This is actually my first choice for Azumi. <br />
<br />
<br />
<center>
<a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/bambiemandani/KawaiiprincessMe#5936984472222449202"><img border="0" height="281" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-R6bUsoXwNAA/UmRn7AfUPjI/AAAAAAAACeM/pRu9sgG177o/s288/1382310579.123493.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" width="187" /></a></center>
<br />
<br />
<b>Peacock Costume</b><br />
<br />
This is so creative! I'm not sure whether those peacock feathers are cheap or not. Too bad it's not available in our craft store, if it is, it's surely expensive ~ knowing Japan lol. <br />
<br />
<br />
<center>
<a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/bambiemandani/KawaiiprincessMe#5936984516574647954"><img border="0" height="281" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-0yjNO0_WnMk/UmRn9lttFpI/AAAAAAAACeU/nUiltBdz-T0/s288/1382310599.089584.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" width="186" /></a></center>
<br />
<br />
Awww this can be time consuming and needs alot of tulle rolls.<br />
<br />
<br />
<center>
<a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/bambiemandani/KawaiiprincessMe#5936984548336175250"><img border="0" height="223" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-aFNCWeiRng0/UmRn_cCPiJI/AAAAAAAACec/HZDwd-Z8mmw/s288/1382310857.968766.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" width="281" /></a></center>
<br />
<br />
The simpler and more creative version. Cute! <br />
<br />
<center>
<a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/bambiemandani/KawaiiprincessMe#5936984572703232578"><img border="0" height="281" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-YTEX_IoknYA/UmRoA2zzUkI/AAAAAAAACek/4jEqwGpFPi4/s288/1382310920.391981.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" width="236" /></a></center>
<br />
You need royal blue and blue green tulle, green, blue, and brown felt. <br />
<br />
<br />
<center>
<a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/bambiemandani/KawaiiprincessMe#5936984606936475122"><img border="0" height="281" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-Sc8fK4e8KWw/UmRoC2VpJfI/AAAAAAAACes/HjmQXHHe0O8/s288/1382310925.844403.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" width="210" /></a></center>
<br />
<br />
<b>Strawberry Costume</b><br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
The simpler handmade version.<br />
<br />
You need red shirt, red tulle, black and green felt. I think you can also use yellow felt for the seeds. <br />
<br />
<br />
<center>
<a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/bambiemandani/KawaiiprincessMe#5936984674108410274"><img border="0" height="281" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-QwrEWsK76tI/UmRoGwkriaI/AAAAAAAACe8/g2-gfTpYxOI/s288/1382311244.915877.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" width="210" /></a></center>
<br />
<br />
<b>Raining Cats and Dogs costume</b><br />
<br />
This is the easiest and cheapest diy costume you can ever do (that is if you already have dog and cat stuff toys at home) <br />
<br />
<br />
<center>
<a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/bambiemandani/KawaiiprincessMe#5936984707011530226"><img border="0" height="281" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-jhdgT1_zlCY/UmRoIrJZTfI/AAAAAAAACfE/oA0XApjA-54/s288/1382311344.128956.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" width="236" /></a></center>

<br />
If you are still looking for inspiration or want to see what other people have put together, head on to Pinterest which has a chuck full of DIY goodness. <br />

Goodluck!<br />

I am excited for this day because Azumi will finally wear my hand sewn obi belt with a matching hand made hair bow. <br />

Yukata is a traditional informal kimono that is made of cotton or synthetic fabric. It is usually worn in summertime especially during festivals (matsuri). <br />
<br />

<br />
Parents weren't allowed to participate their school's Yukata day. Nonetheless, we went to another festival after school (^^) at Showa Kinen. However, it was not a japanese festival ~~<br />
<br />
Can you guess???<br />

For the second time, we sleptover to a friend's house and this time it was in Akari Chan's house. They are actually our neighbors, 5 mins away by bicycle.<br />
<br />
We had <b>Takoyaki Party</b>. <br />
This was prepared by Saori San. I must say, it was the best takoyaki I ever had. It wasn't that greasy, and it tastes so good! I didn't know you can actually make takoyaki at home. <br />
<br />
Yummy foods! We actually brought our share of foods. More like a potluck party but the main course is from the host, Kansai style.<br />

<br />
After her japanese lesson today, we headed home to change our clothes, and then went to Moritown to dine out at Grand China Buffet. <br />
<br />
If it's buffet, then there are lots of foods. And if it's chinese, it means fatty yet yummmmy foods. <br />
<br />
Hungry! おなか ペコペコ。<br />

Azumi will have a picnic today together with K5, K4, and K3 class at Kodaira Park<br />
<br />
It's been quite awhile since the last time i made obento for Anz and we rarely make one. So this looks much more like of a beginner's level ^ ^<br />
<br />
I woke up so early just to prepare this. <br />

<br />
It was sad to know that one of Azumi's friend might have to stop schooling in Kunitachi Kids because of a possible moving to another country. That also means, we might not see our friend too, (Azumi's friend's Mommy) as often as before. <br />
<br />
Nonetheless, as much as possible we don't want to think about it, atleast for a couple of weeks or months until confirmed. BUT yeah it's sad. <br />
<br />
Anyway, school has started already. It was just a 2 week vacation. Too short huh. <br />
<br />
Our friend came and we had lunch at the same place we always go ~ BORA BORA. <br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
I missed them.. I missed us... I missed this, having lunch with liquors and laughs. (Did i say liquor?)<br />
<br />
Actually, this planned lunch is meant to celebrate Hiroe san's birthday. She didn't know. Surprise! <br />

I felt a bit guilty for not being able to update this precious blog. As much as I miss blogging, I miss my blogger friends as well. I believe I still have followers here, if not, well for posterity sake (lol) I will try to post more.<br />
<br />
It has been four months since Azumi's birthday. We celebrated it 3 times. First, the actual birthday which we celebrated with family. Second was at her school with her classmates and teachers. Third was with her close friends.<br />
<strong><br />
Here are some photos of her first part of her 4th Birthday celebration at our home sweet.</strong><br />

Azumi's 4th birthday celebrations were indeed memorable and fun filled parties with family and friends.<br />
<br />
Birthdays should always be celebrated. No matter how simple may it be, what matters is you take time to be with loved ones, friends, or any someone special and have a good time.<br />

<br />
Azumi’s 4th birthday home party is extra special because we basically prepared all the decors by ourselves with the help of the internet for ideas and tutorials. It's amazing how this tool can help you save a lot, and/or challenge your effort as well.<br />
<br />
This year’s party may be simple but it was fun, memorable and fulfilling.<br />
<br />
If you find yourself planning a child’s birthday party, you may try one of these DIY decor ideas before you hit the store for those expensive ready made decors..<br />

This is very easy to make. All you need is tissue papers or any soft papers, scissors and any strings or thread. Just search "how to make pompom flowers" on youtube.<br />

<br />
I downloaded the Pink Happy Birthday banner from the collection of<a href="http://catchmyparty.com/blog/free-pink-and-purple-girl-birthday-printables-from-green-apple-paperie" target="_blank"> <b>FREE<span style="color: magenta;"> pink</span> and <span style="color: #993366;">purple</span> birthday printables</b></a><b> </b>designed by<b> <a href="http://catchmyparty.com/profiles/995" title="Katie-green-apple-paperie">Katie</a> </b>from <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/greenapplepaperie" title="green-apple-paperie">Green Apple Paperie</a>. It also includes invitations, cupcake toppers, cupcake wrappers, favor tags, water bottle labels, flat cards, tent cards, and candy bar wrappers.<br />
<br />
With few sleepless nights of searching, printing, cutting, etc, it was all worth it!<br />
<br />
Make a lot of do-it-yourself birthday decorations for you little pne rather than use store-bought ones to make the party more personal and memorable.<br />

I still miss that baby who needed me for everything. BUT I’m happy and proud to how far Azumi has come from that tiny squishy baby always snuggled in our arms, to an independent, friendly, and cheerful little girl who never ceases to amaze me and makes me smile each day.<br />
<br />
We are blessed to have this little girl. She’s a reminder that life is a beautiful struggle – sometimes life may be seem difficult or out of control, there is always beauty all around. There is an instant divine energy supporting you, making you see the good in everything and the things to be forever thankful for. I must say, she is our divine energy.<br />

Azumi,<br />
<br />
I love being your mom. It’s one of my greatest joys in life.<br />
You make me smile.<br />
You challenge me each day and just watching you grow and witnessing how you learn from so many things is a great fulfillment and indeed rewarding.<br />
<br />
It’s been four wonderful years of being with you.<br />
Here’s to another year of more giggles, fun, and adventures!<br />
<br />
~❤Mommy<br />
