Happy Birthday, Lili!

Earn your keep

There is no allowance. She has to earn her money. By helping out in the recycling!

PROJECT: Gundam UMPG 2012 costume!



GUNDAM UMPG 2012 COSTUME

My new tutorial blog. Keeping that one public though. (Unlike this one) So, anything goes on that one. Thought I'd try to pick this project up again. Since I had failed miserably the last time I tried... like 10 years ago. I learned a lot since then. So, I'm going to test my skills on it the second time around.

Chicago Holidays: YuKids Island, Royal Buffet, Party City

Woodfield mall's Yu Kid's Island. An indoor playground/jungle gym. Superly-awesomely gym. Cleanest place on earth! Seriously, I'm watching the girls there walking behind the kids wiping the areas ALL THE TIME! The place is spotless. Not a scratch anywhere either! I need to hire these girls to clean our house.

Spinning spiral


I have no idea where all the wind is coming from. The balls are always in motion.


Mountains of crab legs! Huge assortment of hibachi, sushi, and Chinese food. HUGE! With all sorts of desserts too. Royal Buffet

Last day with May, Joe & Ryan. Bon Voyage! [tear] Thanks to Nita/Howard for a great dinner!

Lina's favorite place in Chicago.. the Party City. Isle after isle of useless disposeable colorful crap. But, it's pretty for parties.

Chicago Holidays: Day #7 & #8: NYE & NY

New Year's Eve:
At Winterfest Wonderland in Navy Pier

Ended the family night with a nice display of fireworks


Last meal at Barnelli's Ribs! My favorite rib joint in the whole world. But, didn't get any Barnelli's ribs... as I missed the closing minute. (by 6 minutes actually)

Technically, I counted down to the new year with a couple rats running by me while I was parked in a dark alleyway.
BUT, started the New Years with my friends!!


New Year's Day:

Fun times at the Safari Land with May+family and Song+family.


Winner

Tonights dinner = NOT Barnelli's Ribs! (looking at you, May!)
