Present continuous

What's going on Sarah? Joshua's Tanabata.

To-infinitive

Joshua's Tanabata! Are you going to get all dressed up for it?

Tanabata is a summertime Japanese tradition that each one of our kids experienced when they were in kindergarten.

This year is Joshua's last year participating before he moves on to elementary school,

so this one will be our last one as parents as well!

If you're interested in the story about Tanabata, we have a whole video about it, so please check it out!

So Sarah- when was your last Takabata? It's been awhile, huh?

He's going to hold some sticks and he's going to dance with them.

Hey Sarah! We've got a great spot to watch Joshua's Tanabata, huh? Mmm Hmm.

Isn't it nice? You're just barely tall enough to see from up here.

Do you see him walking around in circles there?

Oh he's there with Aiden now- that's cool!

You're going to get a picture with Aiden, right?

We'll do a happy face and then we'll do a pose.

I want to do a happy face first. Let's do a happy face and then a pose.

Like the Ninja dance. Like "don don." I like that.

There's some leftovers for lunch, and after lunch I can make a big bowl of popcorn.

Yeah. And maybe have some ice cream, since you didn't get some last night.

If you think about it, this was our last Tanabata.

Next year: two in elementary and 2 in junior high school.

What's going on here tonight, Ruth? We're having a pizza party.

And also we're going to pick out which kimonos the girls are going to wear for their graduation from 6th grade.

You have to figure it out about 8 months before so that you get good choices

And I also have to go ahead and reserve the hair salon

Because at the salon they will dress the girls and do their hair.

I don't know how to put on those things, so salons do it.

Oh girls, which one are you going to chose?

So we looked and looked and looked so we're going to do a little bit more searching

Because we could buy them for the same price as renting,

You buy this part, and then you have to buy this part...

And what if I don't buy it correctly because I don't know anything about kimonos.

Or how to put them on or what you need or what you don't need...

So we're going to keep looking and hopefully be able to rent a full set.

Your hair is like "Yes, finally a haircut."

OK, stop now. Maybe we should get his switch, because he stays...

It's not done yet, you have part of a side

Yeah, I have one too. Each one of you got one?
