Park Day...

Having a very active 2 year old, without a yard, makes parks a necessity! Today was a park day. After dropping David off at school, getting my nearly flat tire pumped up, and picking up shoes being repaired by a cobbler....Ethan was starting to lose hope that we were truly headed to a park. Oh, and we stopped at the East West -Balagan store....this store is a dream come true....everything I need for curry! I was VERY excited to find artichoke hearts, Jack Daniels bbq sauce, canned mango, sweetened condensed non-dairy something or other, and light corn syrup!!!!! YEAH! Now I can make popcorn balls, not with all those ingredients--with the corn syrup! :) I'll pretend like it's Christmastime here. I have hopes of putting up our little tree in the next couple of days. I had another reminder today of just how much attention Ethan and I get here for our fair skin. In the Asian store, I'm shopping away while Ethan is stacking coconut milk cans and I look over to see a worker taking a picture of him on his cell phone! I just had to smile to myself. They were in love and wanted to give him candy to keep him awhile! Okay, maybe I shouldn't try blogging at 2 am...brain is asleep. Earlier tomorrow. Stephanie and her mom are taking me and Ethan to see some ancient ruins tomorrow morning! Yipee!!!
