| is this what i think it is on my KITCHEN FLOOR?! |
 |
| why yes. i promptly gave him a quick trip back outside. |
 |
| anatole had some saved money burning a hole in his pocket. we took a trip to toys r us. he chose a minecraft toy figure set and three match box cars. i was more interested in this simpsons lego set (U.S. $300!!) |
 |
| almost up onto the giant bench in front of the mall |
 |
| deep reflections. reminds me of jack handey's deep thoughts. |
 |
| double the fun: halloween gift boxes from our good friend ann and gaga and buppa. this dancing solar pumpkin is a crack up |
 |
| this is a multifuctional flashlight with whistle that also serves as a mini light saber |
 |
| a very authentic looking mini skeleton. creepy!! |
 |
| eyeball ball that lights up - wow! |
 |
| surrounded by all the goods - lucky lucky boy. thank you gaga and buppa and ann!!! |
 |
| a good look. it's been so long since we've seen him with any front teeth. |
 |
| anatole and papa had a living room slumber party. they stayed up late watching movies and eating junk food. |
 |
| this "american" pizza caught my eye. i take umbrage at the idea! i suspect most thai people would feel the same about the other variety. |
 |
| anatole and i went on a nature exploration. mission: to collect interesting samples of fall. |
 |
| first stop: oak tree |
 |
| next stop: horse chestnut tree |
 |
| so pretty and remarkably shiny and smooth (the way most of us wish our skin looked!) |
 |
| a recreated viking village from the 10th century |
 |
 |
| leaf from horse chestnut tree |
 |
| we got stung by nettles, but it was worth it |
 |
| more finds |
 |
| we peeked at a viking event - target shooting, bow and arrow style |
 |
| climbers |
 |
| there is something enchanting about fall foliage affixed to brick |
