My “table top” and “chair top” dancing daughter.  It’s like her newest thing to dance on top of things.  What gives?

Giant Orange

My mother-in-law bought this $5 HKD orange for me from the wet mart.   It’s bigger than a fuji apple (which wasn’t small) and smelled really sweet.  It actually tasted AMAZING - so I wanted to share this find with you.  Not sure where the orange hails from (China no doubt), but it’s not everyday you come across something like this.

HAHA - my husband found this cool application that creates a “Fish’s Eye” point of view when you take it with a camera. 
You can find the application here: http://www.appsafari.com/fun/7123/fisheye/

Experimental Children

“Why can’t I fit 2 into my mouth!?”
Experimental children - or maybe greedy?   I found this too funny.  She obviously took her sister’s water bottle and was getting frustrated with her lack of progress in fitting both into her mouth.  I suppose this is part of the learning process as a child so I let her “discover” her own way.  HA HA HA!!

Vanessa’s Cake Responsibility

It was Vanessa’s responsibility to pick, hold and carry the birthday cake (her uncle’s birthday).  I figured she was old enough to handle such a great responsibility and truthfully, I didn’t see her topple it too much - with the exception of banging the cake on the front door of the grandparents’ house so that they would open it.
After her great responsibility, here are the fruits of her labour:
 
Needless to say, the cake was still in one piece and rebuildable.  We all had a great laugh when we opened it.  …

Nature’s Destruction

While we know that nature is mainly a creator - it’s awesome how it can also be a destructor.  Although creation happens more often than destruction, its power is uncontrollable and unpredictable.   This is why humans create systems to work around nature and not against it.  And this is why you should stay indoors during a T8 - although many do venture out, you never know what’s going to fall.  I must say, I can’t imagine what it would have been liked if someone had been under that tree when it …

The Robot and The Little Girl

So the title just popped into my head when I saw this picture and kind of almost imagined a story to go with this picture.  There was a lonely robot who wanted to be loved because his creator didn’t give him a heart and so there was this little girl who lived nearby and they became friends.  Over the course of their friendship, somehow he grew a heart because she taught him all the things that she learned as a child - innocence, love,  joy, happiness, freedom, purity, simplicity.  Maybe this story …

One Just Isn’t Enough?

Victoria woke up from her nap and was crying for her pacifier.  So she’s got 3 of them in our house and I gave her all 3 and she put as many as she could in her mouth.  Funny picture that I just had to share.

H&M in Hong Kong - Coming to Taikoo Shing!

More specifically - H&M in Tai Koo Shing! WOOHOO!  I am a big fan of H&M for several reasons.  For starters, their clothing is affordable.  Having to put 2 kids through private school (for now), saving for our retirement, saving for their future education - being frugal is my middle name.  I don’t frequent the H&M in Central very often because I am usually eating lunch at my desk or with friends and rarely have time to go “shopping” and it’s super crowded.   Secondly, I like that H&M’s clothing …
