First off – I was sleepy last night and forgot to say what the food was. LOL. The first one is the pizza hot-dog. The second has dough like a croissant rolled up with thin layers of hot dog and cheese. The third is like an eclair, but the pastry part is made of cake rolled up with cream in the middle and topped with chocolate. YUM!!!
Here is my 3rd Chinese painting. Mike thought it was great and that I seem to be really good at this style of painting and I didn’t know. I have never tried to do any type of painting and I am finding through this that I really like it. My Grandma Johns paints with oil and if you have been to our house, you have seen her stuff. My sister Tahni paints too and she made the wonderful painting for Nadia’s room that was on the blog in the past.
Here is my teacher Jenny.
Here are some shots of me on my practice flowers.
Jenny showing me how to make the petals. On the left side is the traditional Chinese black ink that is used in most Chinese painting. A little goes a long way.
At lunch time we took the subway over to Wal-Mart to pick up some presents for Savanah at New Day. I just loved her and she is the oldest at the home…if you look at the photos from there, she is the one who was sitting in Mike’s lap while he was taking pictures of Emma. We also got some crayons and other gifts for the rest of the kids. We were searching for some coloring books for the kids when we came across a bunch of children’s books. There is a set of 10 called “Happy Baby” that has all the items in Chinese and English. We went through them all and found all 10 and bought them for Nadia along with some other children’s books. Total cost for all 13? — $11.90. It would cost that much for 2 at home. 4 if you hit Half Price books and could actually find a whole set. The prices here are crazy!
P.S. Kiki didn’t give me any homework today except to watch the DVD that goes with my textbook. The lessons introduced about 50 new words this week alone and they are all starting to sound the same to me. Hee hee.
