Finally, a sunny Monday morning! As ever we had a full house of bouncy, genki kids. But today, they had to work hard for their senbei.
To celebrate the 5th of May "Children's Day", we made our very own Koinobori (carp streamer). Some of the kids were delighted to have their hands smeared with paint, but there were some who put up a brave fight. Sakura chan was confounded by the choice of colours available. She finally was convinced to participate ONLY for pink. In the end, it took three of us to hand-print Fumiko chan. She's really strong for such a little thing! But it was Aurora's refusal that endured. She even had her poor Mum paint her hand. Aurora watched carefully. Smiled. And then absolutely refused to get in on the action. Aki kun roared his disapproval. Kento snarled in disbelief. Only little Lui was mellow about it...... he didn't even wake from his nap!

We managed to get 17 prints in all and then a little later, my gang joined in on the fun. Have a look next time you pass by the house. It looks really cool! Next time, can someone teach me this song????
屋根より高い鯉幟
大きな真鯉はお父さん
小さな緋鯉は子供たち
面白そうに泳いでる

See you all next time then, Yukako's magical miso will be making a star appearance!
