Racial Harmony Day
Posted on 21. Jul, 2009 by Rob.
Today we had to send the kids to school in “a traditional ethnic costume” from their home country. I’m not really sure what that is for the United States. I briefly considered a cowboy outfit, but that is a bit pretentious or I could go with an “I Farted” t-shirt and a Budweiser ball cap, [...]

Someone turns 5 today!
Posted on 27. Jan, 2009 by Rob.
Today is Chinese New Year and, more importantly in our house, it is Liam’s 5th Birthday! We celebrated by going toy shopping and playing a few games on the Xbox. There isn’t really much to do around here during CNY. Pretty much all the shops are closed, with the notable exception of Toys’R’us. It has [...]
