I played Legos with my almost 5 year old little boy. He wanted to build a really tall building, so he got out all of his Legos and other blocks.

Today I'm going to monkey forest where I will be feeding bananas to...well...monkeys of course. That is if I can convince them not to try to snatch my daughter's bottle like last time. :P (Bali, Indonesia)

After a fun, weekend bout of food poisoning, we officially started phase 1 of "Cupcakes for Haiti" I had a wonderful pajama-clad, bed-headed baking assistant on hand - so things ran very smoothly!

I am watching the Olympics by handy phone furtively at work. I am so proud that we got a medal at Male figure skating for the first time.
I love your father Cornelia! What a sweet picture! He looks like a kind man!
ReplyDeleteAnd the monkey! Oh my gosh! The monkey is SO cute. I can't wait until Kaishon comes home from school so I can show him : )
What pretty architecture in Italy!
Look at all those cupcakes! Hope the bake sale went well! I prayed that it would : )
Do you believe I haven't watched even one second of the olympics yet? Pure craziness!
That is a magnificent costume, Natalie! Is yours a costume too Buckaroomama?
How high was your tower Sarah?
So pretty Suki! Like always. A vision of loveliness!
It's funny how excited I've gotten about the Olympics this year! I get so happy when competitors from each of your respective countries does well.
ReplyDeleteI think
"Yay Rikako!"

Sorry about my pic being so big...I looked for the size changing button when I uploaded, but when I couldn't find it I assumed the size was ok; apparently not! Will have to look harder next time (or upload the other way)
ReplyDeleteSuki - stunning photo...sunflares are my new fave thing ;D
Sarah - Legos are a huge hit at our house...my Boy plays with Lego pretty much every day and his biggest wish for his upcoming birthday is Star Wars Lego :D
Buckeroomama - gotta love those dragons!
Cornelia - what a sweet donkey! Love the b/w editing...
Emily - those window-balconies are soooo southern Europe. Love them, and wish we had the climate up here to make those a good idea ;D
Kate - that's a well organized pantry! What a cute expression on your little helper's face :D...looks like she spotted the secret cookie stash ;D
Katie - Hope the monkeys stayed away from the bottle this time!
Natalie - wow...you've gotta explain that (traditional?) costume!
Lola - glad you got over your bout of food poisoning...and holy cupcakes! Great to have had such a good helper :D
Rebeckah - beautiful! Great composition :D
Rikako - Congrats on the medal! Cool 'high tech' stuff ;D

ReplyDeleteLove everyone's pictures.
Natalie, please tell us about that dress!
How cute is that monkey?!?!
Kate, please send a little pantry-cleaning-elf down my way :)
Italy!! I love the windows!
The blocks in my pic are some kind of blocks from Target -- I don't know what they are officially called. I'll have to find out for you!
Such great pictures!
ReplyDeleteLet me add my voice to the chorus...I want to know more about that dress. It's gorgeous, Natalie!
Love pictures everyone. I love my regular hop around the globe in a second. This is so much fun.
ReplyDeleteSuki, you said it perfectly: "...regular hop around the globe in a second." :)
