SATURDAYmade with love I came across one simple oh-so-very-cheap wooden hanger sitting not-so-pretty waiting for someone to pick it up. That
thing needs a make-over and a new home. I had my mind on a bottle of satin pink spray paint of mine that has been sitting at home waiting to be used by moi. Hiks.
A few hours later, "zzzzzzzzzzt zzzzzzzzzzzzt (spraying) crk crk crk (shaking the spray bottle) zzzzzzztttttt zzzzzzztttttttt ppppppffffffftttt"
Hubby asked me and the kids to join him for a trip to the grocery store. I picked up a stickopotamus letter stickers for ninety some cents.

15 minutes of my life laboring myself w/ creativity to make my baby girl happy : PRICELESS----------------------------------------------------------------------------
All the birthday presents for Princess Nadja from us are finally wrapped up. Well, actually, boxed up! They are all small little things but we are sure Nadja will be one happy camper. When hubby and I went to Burlington last week, we bought a round 'vintage-like' hat box and a matching smaller box that has a picture of a crown and 'HIGH MAINTENANCE' print. Too cute! That will match the theme of her bday party!
FROM DADDY:
A round hat box and a square box that can be use for her knick knacks and hair stuff in her room. 30 pairs of plastic bear earrings. A tiny little pink pillow that says "DADDY'S GIRL". Glitter spray lotion and swirl strawberry from Bath Body Works. Lip Balm from American Girl Bath Body Works. A little red book. "...dreamland" wall hanging. Care Bear story books. Tiara knee length socks and sunglasses from Gymboree. Two baby blue polkadots bolsters aka bantal guling.
FROM MOMMY:
Another round box, 'A LIL BIT PRINCESS' pillow, "DREAM" cloud shaped pillow, tiara wind chimes, XOXO t shirt with a picture of a kitty wearing a bling bling tiara, pair of XOXO pants "IF FOUND PLEASE RETURN THIS PRINCESS TO THE NEAREST SHOPPING MALL"
last but not least..
FROM AIDAN:
A silly little book of knock knock jokes, Strawberry Shortcakes Puzzle, 2 fashion tights from Children Place and a princess hair scrunchie.
but the sweetest thing is, on the box it says :
From Prince Aidan
Dear Sissy, have a beary happy bday. I love you forever and ever and ever but please stop kissing me. Ewwwwwwwww. Have fun and stay cute! *kiss hug love peace*Soooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwww swwwwwwwwwwwwwwweeeeeeeeeeeeettttttt. Isnt it?
They are currently hidden under our bed. We'll see how long they will stay there without the princess come and take a little peek.
SUNDAY
trip to the museums! took the kids
here and
here. it was aidan first trip to the museums. it was a loooooooooong day but we had soooooooo much fun. both museums located next to each other and they are connected. they are huge. or as nadja says 'gigantic'. we stopped at their lil souvenir shop to get nadja a set of stamps and coloring pencils, a dino-mite book for aidan, a little jade stone for nadja's stone/rock collections and a dinosaurs puzzle. after the museums, we ate dinner at Lulu's. i had a big bowl of pho soup. met sontya, an indo student that works there. we talked a little bit. as we were heading home, joe (si jojon hehe)called and told me that he walked in the bistro about 2 minutes after I walked out. Arrrrrrrrrrrrgghhhhhhh. Well, there's always next time.
Jangan lupa janji surga-mu tuk menjemputku disini tuk pergi beramai-ramai mengguncang resto indo di state sebelah ya Jo!
