Ruby Tuesday

Red is our color of choice when we go to Six Flags. It's easier to spot where the kids are. Thanks to The Teach's Ruby Tuesday.

Weekend Snapshot: Downtown

This is a picture from Fountain City Place downtown. We went there after Yossi's birthday party to pick up my daughter. He's the one in red. This picture is taken in front of the dancing fountain. It's really fun to go there.

Photo Hunt: Bright (Kid Say)

20080627


This child of mine is bright in intellect, disposition and general sense of self. I just love that about him. This is a blurry picture because he's jumping up and down for me. He's always bright and eager for some pictures.

-----

click on the image to enlargeI can't believe it was only last Saturday when we saw this horse and carriage downtown. My little boys immediately wanted to try it.
I said: So, you want that horse and carriage?
Yossi answered: No, I don't want to carry a horse, I want to ride it.

He sounded incredulous that I would ask him to carry a horse. I realized he didn't know what carriage was. It was pretty funny for me.

Sky Watch: I Spy


If you look closely, you can spy a bird. My husband took this picture on his cell phone camera downtown near West End. You have to actually go into their courtyard to see this fountain.

Sweet Dreams

20080624


Strange places to sleep. My children loves to sleep near me. Unfortunately, the layout of our house have their rooms on the opposite end on the second floor. That's how come they end up sleeping on couches and floors. When they were smaller, I would always carry them to their beds, but now they're a whole lot heavier, and the stairway...

I figure when they're ready to be 'grown up' they'll go to their rooms to sleep. It's good that I have many comfortable couches around.

Watches

What's with men and watches? At least the men I know are always going for the most interesting watches. This makes it a little easy to find gifts for them on their special occasion. I know that my father would love to own Luminox Navy SEAL Watch. These are excellent watches for style and functionality. There are many kinds to choose from. The prices are very competitive. Most of all, my father would be very happy to get one. He'd been diving for treasures in different places of the world. He might as well keep tract of time while he's at it.

Sky Watch

20080619


I was driving my kids to their extracurricular classes when I noticed the clouds. It's just the kind of clouds that brings me back all the way to my childhood home in the Philippines. More often than not, we get clouds like this. I've never mastered the cloud names, but this one I like.

Check out Tom's Sky Watch for more on this.

Green and Orange

20080617

My son received his greenbelt last Saturday. He only missed a single point on his test. He's got all his forms correct, except for the 'jump-turn-side kick'. It's beautiful to watch him!


My almost 4-year old boy received his orange belt. I was late to his test, and my little brother drove him to his school. I was stuck downtown in a different orientation for my daughter's workshop.

I Want You

Some days, it's just music, music, music. Love this song, and I had forgotten about it. Just because I want doesn't mean I need it, but I'm dying to find out. If you knew this song, where does it take you?

REPLACEMENT WINDOWS

20080603

Last year I replaced all the windows in my house with that expensive double-pane energy efficient kind, and today, I got a call from the contractor who installed them. He was complaining that the work had been completed a whole year ago and I still hadn't paid for them.

Hellloooo,...........just because I'm blonde doesn't mean that I am automatically stupid. So, I told him just what his fast talking sales guy had told me last year, that in ONE YEAR these windows would pay for themselves!

Helllooooo? It's been a year! I told him.

There was only silence at the other end of the line, so I finally Just hung up. He never called back. Guess I won that stupid argument.

I bet he felt like an idiot.

*got this from an e-mail.
