52 of 2013 - Week 46

52 of 2013 - Week 46. Picaboo's theme for the week is 'Posing Tips'. My Focus 52 - Pixel Project theme is 'One Dominant Color'. This is as close to poppies as Lego gets. Remembrance Day is Monday. Lest we forget.

52 of 2013 - Week 45

52 of 2013 - Week 45. Picaboo's theme for the week is 'What to Wear for Photos'. My Focus 52 - Pixel Project theme is 'Halloween Illuminations'. I posted Halloween shots last week. So here is something a little different. As I understand it (which isn't saying much), this is a diya or divaa that my daughter was given at school. It's a little clay pot that is used in Hindu, Sikh, Jain and Zoroastrian religious festivals such as Diwali, which is a festival of lights, usually around Halloween. The lighting of small clay lamps filled with oil is used to signify the triumph of good over evil. Though we do not celebrate Diwali, we live in a city where are large number of the population does celebrate, so my daughter was learning about the celebration in school. Rather than ignore all religious and cultural ceremonies, our school leans towards teaching a bit about those celebrated by our students. It's pretty awesome!

MOTHER'S DAY TEA 2011

On Mother's Day, Weeb and I had tea with Grandma. We had REAL tea and posh little cucumber sandwiches, which Grandma prepared especially for Weeb. Weeb had wanted to have a REAL princess tea with Grandma for Mother's Day, you see (complete with her princess tea set). And Grandma is pretty awesome about hosting awesome teas, even when they are in her honor.

REAL tea, princess tea (water, which Willow poured, repeatedly, and we drank, repeatedly), cucumber sandwiches with carrot garnish and grape tomatoes.

Tiny little cucumber sandwiches, fit for a princess. Posh or what, eh?
