this past week has been freedom from school!!
although i am sad that this is going to be the shortest summer of my life...
i get about a 3 week break before i have to go back.
just wanted to share what i've been doing in my spare time!
our niece alilia is getting older.
she will be turning 12 next year, and needed a room makeover.
plus she is getting a new roommate...
her 2 1/2 year old sister.
the room used to be shared with all three of her brothers...
with grey walls and a black ceiling.
her mom has been the interior decorator,
and they have been going for a "japanese shabby chic" look.
i didnt take pictures of the whole room.
i'm just showing what i was involved with.
its hard to tell in the photos,
but the room is light pink with a white ceiling
photos don't really do justice to what it looks like in real life.
but anyways...
here is a cherry blossom inspired tree with little birdies
<<<< close ups >>>>
i really enjoyed creating this!
it has been quite a while since i have painted, so it was nice to freshen up!
today we spent the majority of our day watching football !!!
michio has three nephews playing pop warner.
the oldest is 12, then 10, then 8.
three different teams.... so saturdays are going to be looooong.
today they had their jamboree.
each team had about 6 ten minute scrimmages with the other teams in the league.
there was only four teams on a field at a time,
so they spent time waiting to play,
and also each cheer team from every age group performed halfway through each divisions session.
michios brother in law is one of the assistant coaches for 10 year old takeshi's team
this is natsumi and kalo.
natsumi is michio's 18 year old cousin who is visiting from japan.
she hardly speaks any english but has really been enjoying america =]
