March 2015

We arrived to prepare for the parade at 3 PM and didn’t finish up until 8:30 PM. What does one do during all that time? Lots and lots of pictures 😉

We had a lot of downtime before the parade started - Maile and her friends had a lot of fun goofing around in their costumes while the adults got the floats ready.

I think its safe to say Maile enjoyed herself 😉

As most of you know, Maile and her friends from school have been practicing for the San Francisco Chinese New Year Parade since January. Costumes, dance routines, floats – everything came together over the past couple of months and Saturday was the big day. More than 1 million people lined the streets of San Francisco and Maile and her friends marched and danced their way right through it all.

It was awesome to see and Christine and I were very proud of our girl. We’ll share more stories and pictures from the day, but for now here is the “official” video one of the dads made – Maile only made a brief cameo, but you’ll hear more from her side later this week.

Goofball

Maile’s really been enjoying the new YouTube Kids and all the videos they have around various arts and crafts activities. Over the weekend, she got excited about learning some new Rainbow Loom designs – Sunday morning she literally spent two hours working through different bracelet concepts.

She told me that she wanted to make some bracelets for my friends at work. I came up with the idea of creating an order form that she could use to ask people what colors they wanted in their bracelets. She got VERY excited about that … and thus was born “Rainbow Loom Braselits By Maile” 🙂

The order form that Maile created - I distributed them at work on Monday

... and man did she crank them out - quite the pace. Once we get Lauren involved we'll have quite the factory going!

The finished product!

If you’d like your very own Maile Braselit – fill out the order form here!

She can crank one out every 7-8 minutes now – make sure you get in during this beta period while we are ironing out the kinks, next weekend I’ll be teaching her about pricing her product 😉

The best part – on Wednesday, Maile came to my office after school and hand delivered her bracelets to the team. Now that is customer service!

Elmo’s Hungry

These days, you leave Lauren alone for a few minutes and funny things start happening…

What? He said he was hungry...

Please, please, tell her to let me chew! I just need to chew!
