Happy Go Lucky

Leslie, Ruby, and I went to the most fun pop up exhibit I have ever been to. Sunny Hues has a pop up in Soho right now called Happy Go Lucky Exhibit. It was so much fun! The rooms were incredible, especially the palace of diamonds room. We let loose, took fun photos, and enjoyed our complementary Italian ice at the end. Sunny Hues did an incredible job designing rooms that are from a dream world. I cannot decide if I like the palace of diamonds, pretending to be a mermaid on the pink beach, or playing with brightly colored balloons the best. 

 I have not had ridiculous fun like this in a long time. Enjoy all my awkward faces and peace signs. Reconnecting with my inner weirdo was a blast. 

Me and my girl, Ruby. We are both named after my Ma. I'm Christine, and Ruby is Ruby Christine. Love that we both share Ma's name. 
The palace of diamonds was amazing! I have a lot of photos below, because one cannot do it justice. 











Loving this yellow wall.
Glad to be part of your world, sis.



She really should be a model.

She's a doll, and I really want pink glitter carpet. 




Way too much Fun!


ET pose. Not that I can blend into balloons, like he can blend in with the stuffed animals. 

Paint the rainbow, or in this case Ruby. 




Eat the pepper! Family inside joke. 

Shoes or duck? That is not a fair question. The answer is, always shoes. Always shoes.



Blurry jumping photo for your pleasure. There is something about getting both feet off the ground that boosts your happiness.
 
I also want a pineapple wall in our new place. I eat the stuff almost everyday. It's a pineapple a day, that keeps the doctor away, right?

After we went through our photos, there was like a 100 plus that we took here. It was so much fun. I have done some pop ups, but noting like this. Glad Leslie was game for going with me. A unique New York experience to add to the books.

Traveling Half Way around the World

Image
We made it to Manila! We flew over the US and the Pacific Ocean to get here. Our total travel time was 55 hours. It was long but surprisingly not bad at all. Cosette was an angel and the Haneda Airport in Tokyo was like a hotel. If those two things had been any different attitude in writing would not be so positive. This odessy of a journey begun way before our first flight. Packing up our apartment for our subletters took a lot longer than we supposed it would. So instead of being refreshed and ready for the long trip over we were tried and I did not want to get out of bed. We got enough sleep to keep on going till our flight from NYC to San Fransicso where we tried to rest. That flight for me was the worst. Cosette did sleep but was up for a lot of it. The plane was cramped and Lyndon and I were seperated by the aile. Thankgoodness for kind and patient people who sat next to us. Playing at the San Fransico airport.   Our flight to Japan was awesome. We had a

Remote Learning Part 1

Image
Remote learning is over for now, thank goodness. We have been doing remote learning since March 20. We are experts at google classroom, zoom meetings, and google meets. It's been rough, but we did it!  This post is long and detailed about what each kid had to do everyday for school. It was intense. The kids did wonderfully. Their teachers are amazing! They worked around the clock to learn all the new technology, meeting with students individually. I received personal phone calls from them asking what they could do to help and also talking to my kids. I am so grateful for the teachers they had this year.  All three kids participated in remote learning. Each grade/teacher did something different. What they all had to do was answer and attendance question by noon, read for thirty minutes a day, and I-ready (an assessment program that helped determine where they were in math and reading).  Third Grade: Cosette's assignments were what she was doing in school. She completed two huge

Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day! This has become one of my favorite holidays in the last few years. This year especially I am really into it. It probably has to do with my sweet Lyndon who proposed to me on V-Day four years ago. Since then he has made Valentine's Day a fun and special day. He always surprises me with something fun. Usually we go eat some where fabulous and go see a ballet or opera. He likes to do something cultural on this speical day. This year I am getting into the spirit more. Cosette can do a lot more things. We made special Valentine's for our families and made yummy cookies. She kept sneaking cookie dough and eating it. She is my daughter.  The finished product waiting for Lyndon. I went to the Cake Boss Bakery last year to get Lyndon something for V-day and was inspired to make the dark chocolate bowls filled with chocolate covered strawberries. It was a lot easier that I anticipated. Oh, and that cloth on the table are the pajama pants
