I’m not feeling very creative lately, but I found a few things at the mall a few weeks back that made me laugh. Caleb was at a birthday party at the waterpark in the mall (that sounds so pretentious, doesn’t it?!) so Carter, Camille and I wandered around for a few hours, killing time.
I’m pretty sure Disney isn’t in the business of licensing shirts that say 100% juicy on them.
And that’s no Minnie Mouse either.
Also, not buying “100% Fruity” as an authentic Disney product.
Really confused about this hat. It was not part of a Halloween display and they don’t do Halloween here. At least it doesn’t say “Come on Daddy,” which is how I first read it. Icky.
No, we didn’t buy the weird hat or the juicy shirts
We stopped for gelato and I lamented that we were eating it here instead of in Italy like we were supposed to. I had never had gelato before — it’s denser, but lighter than ice cream (if that makes any sense at all) and the flavors are much bolder. Strawberry tastes like an actual strawberry without any milk/cream flavor to smooth it over.
Before people move here, I tell them you can find almost anything here, but you’ll pay an arm and a leg for it. Things are expensive, services (people labor) are cheap. I bought this exact Pony for Camille on base for $8.
At the mall, it’s 7.5BD, about $20
I forgot that we had already had gelato and when we had about 45 minutes left to kill, we stopped at Starbucks. I remembered 1/2 way through their shared Frap. Lucky them!
One of the things we purchased were new fuzzy blankets for the kids’ beds. We bought some at the Wal-martish store here (where everything is also made in China/Pakistan/India) when we first moved here and they’ve taken a beating over the past 2 years. For $13 each, I figured we could get them new ones. Carter picked out the big cat print for Caleb. They are so soft and fuzzy they decided to wear them for the rest of the day.
Toga party. This was right before they started debating whether the Romans went commando . . .
One more week down — hoping for an extra person in next weeks’ photos!
