last week in iphone photos

monkey in a tree at his buddy's birthday party

it is just not right to discriminate against orange

regardless, these bright cheery colors made me smile

Martha Stewart just released a new line of office supplies at Staples.

i want one of each

(and then i'd have to organize my organizing supplies)

grom earned another stripe this week at karate

we did an eggsperiment

"what do drinks do to your teeth?"

thinking maybe i should cut back on the decaf

i was snotty all week and it had nothing to do with my attitude

field trip to the Abalone Farm

we saw the entire lifecycle

taking the abalone for a walk

it took me forever to figure out why no one was helping me...

Hope you week was great.
