Stuff To Do In Japan.....Part 2

Give back to the community!
This last Saturday the young women in our branch, Max and I joined the American Redcross in 'Make a Difference Day'. The Main Gate of the Yokosuka Base has several walkways, elevators, and stairways that link the intersection. For some reason, it has been left unclear who is responsible for keeping it clean.........so it has gotten pretty darn nasty. We spent are Saturday scrubbing, scrubbing, scrubbing and we had a lot of fun in the process. (Except for the gum scraping, that was gross..... but an important lesson for Max.... he will never just through his gum on the ground after that.)

The best part of the day...?... As we got home, Max says "I feel really clean now..."
"Oh?" I said, "Is it because your hands got really wet and you were scrubbing things all day?"
"No" he says, "I feel clean, like I did something really good."

Put your kids on the market!
We've jumped on the modeling bandwagon and decided to see if we can get Tobias 'discovered'. I strutted him around the Modeling Fair and so far the reviews are good. We've already been asked for more pictures..!








Wish him luck!

Elizabeth the Elaborate

My slideshow seemed to be cut in half.......so I wasn't even in it. I was the one running around snapping pictures, so there is only one picture of my costume.

I love an excuse to play dress up.......the world needs more of these occasions.

A Knight of Murder

We had the chance to attend 'A Knight of Murder' last weekend. It was a blast! I had a Project Runway moment by pulling together a costume in one afternoon. It rocked and I totally impressed myself with my 'mad skillz'..... not bad for someone that can't sew!
