Today was our Play Day for January, but we didn't feel like a huge outing because 1) we've actually had a play WEEK, and 2) Mark has a cold, so we didn't want to go hiking because 3) it's rainy out. So we rode the MAX train into Portland and went to the Portland Art Museum. They have an exhibit called "China Design," which I thought sounded kind of boring, but it was actually interesting. China is such a big country and I never think about it. There are those millions (billions?) of people doing things every day, and I never once give a thought to that whole huge majority of humanity. I just go along in my own little world, as if I were the center of it.
Anyway, the exhibit was some of the graphic design and architectural design trends in China today, and it was very interesting. Afterwards, we walked around downtown a little and got a sandwich for lunch, and then we rode the MAX back home.
I really need to stop procrastinating some things...like the pile of essays that I was going to get to the whole vacation, and they're still sitting there. I need to give them back to the kids on Tuesday or Wednesday, so I need to get busy. I also need to make some plans for cub scouts on Tuesday afternoon...I guess this vacation really is just about over.
Here are some photos from Arora's birthday party yesterday. She is such a cutie.
She couldn't get the hang of how to blow her candles out. Holly had to help her. Holly made cute cupcakes decorated as owls, Arora's favorite bird.
Arora opening up her gift from me and Mark - the "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom" DVD. Arora calls it "Boom Boom." Seriously, David and Holly may hate me for this. The song really gets stuck in your head. Arora loves it and can watch it over and over and over and over and over...you get the idea!
PS - I updated your blog list on the side. I took off the ones that are blocked, and I added a new one for Hillary Haynie and also "The Skinny" - the diet blog by me and Katie.
