Kenzo was home sick last weekend, so he was literally jumping with excitement to be back on the field with his friends today. It wasn’t even that cold, at least not as bitter as it’s been all week. The sun was out, and all the kids were in high spirits. While Osamu played, Kenzo and I snuck off for a car wash. I went for the wax option. Winter grime makes everything look so dreary, and I wasn’t the only one who had the same idea... long line of guys waiting to get their cars back to looking decent, at least until the next snowfall.
Osamu was beyond thrilled when I announced it was time for Family Make Your Own Pizza Night. Ever since our first one last year, he’s been steadfast in his dream of opening Little Pizza Shop... a place with a big, open dining area but tiny pizzas. He reminds Eri and me constantly that when it opens, we must go every day.
Meanwhile, Kenzo’s passion is origami. He’s always checking out books on it from the school library, even from the public library in Izumi Chuo. Today, Eri surprised him with his very own copy of his favorite origami book, and as soon as it arrived, he ripped it open and spent the entire afternoon meticulously folding. He only paused long enough to battle me and Osamu in Beyblade. I now own my own Beyblade—Viper Tail—which so far has lost every single battle. It sits on my desk when not in use, silently judging me.
Kenzo grudgingly gave up the dining table when it was time for pizza night. We really need to do this more often because the pizza was amazing. And this time, I remembered black olives, clearly the best topping.
