snapshots of my life: week 40
 |
| what the? this kind of attention-getting billboard is undoubtedly trying to draw a young demographic (the company is a mobile phone provider). it's my hope that the tats are fake (at least the face, neck, and scalp drawings!). |
 |
| the colors are shifting |
 |
| i'm not sure i will ever fully grasp the danish obsession with hot dogs. pulled meat on top of a hot dog? (2 are sold for the equivalent of $10) |
 |
| anatole's wardrobe at school sandwiched nicely between his purple-wearing neighbors - he is notorious for stashing sticks and other nature paraphernalia |
 |
| game time! |
 |
| boring, run-of-the-mill meets "let's look down and appreciate cobble stone art work" |
 |
| i ride down this street often and decided once and for all to stop and take in some serious stone work |
 |
| this one is for my mom who has a fondness for fives |
 |
| i made soup. first i roasted these amazing creatures - too pretty for words |
 |
| post-roasted butternut squash. look at those interesting dark, caramelly brown spots - captivating even after baking! |
 |
| this is me being weird and experimental over my tea-leaf strewn sink. the hat? my hair was extra pouffy after a haircut and the hat was an effort to flatten it. it actually helped. |
 |
| math homework. he decided to wear his 3-D glasses that he got at our summer viewing of how to train your dragon 3 |
 |
| homework is better with a snack (apple) |
 |
| cartoon time with blankie draped over his knees |
 |
| alan rented a jack hammer and removed two concrete staircases at our new house. we are building a new, separate entrance. the old entrances will be reworked to look just like the rest of the house. |
 |
| stones that were under one of the staircases |
 |
| the second entry, now gone |
 |
| we rented a dumpster to dispose of all the concrete |
 |
| what's that saying?: "it's going to get a lot worse before it gets better." i get that. |
 |
| my phone took this crooked panorama of the living room. you can sort of get the idea. |
 |
| this tree is a comforting contrast to the what's going on inside the house. |
 |
| a perfect spot for young climbers |
 |
| tree texture |
 |
| improvised workshop |
 |
| my favorite 2 min banana bread: mash 3 v. ripe bananas w/ 2 eggs, 1/2 c sugar, 2T plain yogurt, 2T oil and a splash of vanilla. mix will look like cottage cheese. add 1 1/2c flour, 1t soda, and 1t salt. mix and pour into a parchment lined pan. bake 350 C for 50 min. (mini chocolate chips optional but highly recommended) |
 |
| i was asked to participate in a photo shoot at my school. along with these other teachers, i will be featured in one of the school's promotional brochures. they asked me to do it the same day of the photo shoot. i was so happy i had clean hair and thought to put on a blazer that day! |
