Thursday, May 7

Brian found a cricket today at the bus stop that was HUGE! He had to stop and photograph it:



He met us after school again and we tried round two of looking for the Russian shop. We found it! The dolls aren't quite what he was looking for, but it was nice to have found the shop after all the searching. We had lunch at Tapas and came home all tuckered out.

Aeden got a nice big bite on his cheek today from the same girl that scratched him on the face a while back. I guess they're not the best of buds. But this bite is amazing. Brian and I are still trying to figure out the mechanics of how she could get a hold of him so well, right in the middle of the cheek. You could see the outline of each of her teeth earlier today, but it has already started to fade. Perfect for birthday photos coming up!

Here he is at lunch, freshly bitten:



And Brian's view of the ceiling fan from the table top at Tapas:



The girls and I went off to Armada to get a birthday present for Lacey's friend Omar (party after school tomorrow) and some groceries, and I snapped a few photos on the cab ride home:

AKParti Headquarters all dressed up for some occasion. AKParti is the political party in power right now and its headquarters is right up the street from Armada.

Had to capture the billboard showing the Mega Mac. I wouldn't have believed that the sandwich existed, except it is prominently featured at McDonald's here. Gross.

We wrapped up the evening with take-out from Aspava. Whew.
